CANCER FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? . As most of you know…2013 was the scariest year of my life! I didn’t only get hit with one cancer..but got hit with two different cancers? . I found out at the beginning of filming season 2 of Flip or Flop. I remember the production company calling me and telling me they understand if I can’t move forward. I said thank you but no thank you let’s keep going!!!! . I gained 50 pounds that season from cancer side affects, had two surgeries and went through radioactive iodine treatment. I was very sick with terrible migraines and nauseous every day. But, I told myself no matter what you can’t quit!!! It was tough but I knew deep down I had to keep going. I was very scared and suffering inside but never showed it. Looking back I should have. . Today I got the best news ever…I’m cancer free and I’m healthier than ever!!!!???.
