This is me.


My name is Danielle Lucinda Perryman, 31 years old. I have recited and spelled my name more times than I care to count. That’s what happens when you are diagnosed with aggressive, invasive carcinoma. Aka - Breast Cancer. Every healthcare professional will ask you to say and spell your name. It becomes second nature. Danielle Lucinda Perryman.


D-A-N-I-E-L-L-E  L-U-C-I-N-D-A  P-E-R-R-Y-M-A-N Date of birth: 5/15/83


That’s me, or is it? They should really have it tattooed on your body at birth. It would be just as much proof as me saying and spelling it. It’s not like they check for proof of identification or anything. I could be a homeless chick just trying to get free healthcare. No, that’s not the case. I AM me. I AM Danielle Lucinda Perryman, diagnosed with aggressive, invasive breast cancer. This IS my life. This IS my fight.

  3. First of all I love that you started a blog and I also agree with how annoying that is to continuously say and spell your name. You are strong, stay positive, you are a fighter. Thoughts and prayers are always being sent your way. Love you girl
