The Story of 16 Balloons<\/em><\/h1>\n

By Lorna Oppedisano | Photography by Alice G. Patterson<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLife was normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is how Tracey Burkey, two-year breast cancer survivor and 30-year Visit Syracuse staff member, begins the story of her fight with breast cancer.<\/p>\n

Tracey had no family history of breast cancer. She dutifully had a mammogram done each year. It was just one of those things the doctor tells you to do, so you do it, she said. You put it on your list, do it, check it off and move on with your life.<\/p>\n

In March 2015, Tracey almost left that box unchecked, ready to put it off for another day. It was a busy week at work. The NCAA Championship was coming to town the following week, which meant she had teams to welcome, TV interviews to do and volunteers to train, among other tasks to complete.<\/p>\n

But the appointment was already slated for 8 a.m., and on the way to work. So, she went. And it\u2019s a good thing she did.<\/p>\n

A few days later, she received a call that changed her life. She had breast cancer, the voice on the other end of the line told her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like I had learned a valuable lesson,\u201d Tracey said. \u201cEven with no family history, you have to get your mammograms, because it happens \u2014 more than we know. And I\u2019m a story of a survivor, because I had the mammogram.\u201d<\/p>\n

Defining normal<\/h4>\n

Born and raised in Canastota, Tracey studied at Niagara University, spent a bit of time as an exchange student in Japan and eventually began her career in New Jersey, where she worked as a travel agent. While she loved the system, she didn\u2019t care for the job itself.<\/p>\n

Before long, she returned to Central New York, and took a position in tourism sales at the Syracuse Convention & Visitors Bureau, now known as Visit Syracuse. She\u2019s been with the group ever since.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve done some different roles through the years, but still absolutely love going to work every day,\u201d Tracey said. \u201cI\u2019m very fortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a recent reorganization at Visit Syracuse, Tracey took over as vice president of visitor and partner engagement.<\/p>\n

No two days are the same, Tracey explained, but a main goal of her job is working with hospitality and community partners to help embrace visitors who come to Syracuse \u2014 to \u201croll out the red carpet,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

She also works to bring large-scale events and conventions to Syracuse, including the Syracuse Nationals, NCAA Championship and the American Quilter\u2019s Society\u2019s annual QuiltWeek, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

In the last 30 years on the job, Tracey\u2019s seen Syracuse grow and evolve, from the expansion of Carousel Center into Destiny USA to the revitalization of iconic older buildings downtown. Now, rather than simply anticipating what visitors to Syracuse may need, she helps envision their entire experience. Whether they\u2019re\u00a0here to visit family or for a convention, it\u2019s that experience that counts, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about the flavor of the area,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo, how do we create that for them?\u201d<\/p>\n

The diagnosis<\/h4>\n

So, life was normal for Tracey, and that was just the way she liked it.<\/p>\n

Then came the fateful morning of the nearly-rescheduled mammogram. With no history of breast cancer in her family, mammograms were always routine \u2014 until this one.<\/p>\n

The radiologist saw a little spot, and suggested Tracey have a biopsy.<\/p>\n

When she arrived at work, she found a message from her gynecologist, telling her she had an appointment for a biopsy at the end of the week, and an appointment with a surgeon. She remembers thinking it was a little extreme.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I got a little nervous,\u201d Tracey said, \u201cbut I was busy.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are bits of the story Tracey looks back on as blessings or angels, she explained. She came across the first on the day of her biopsy \u2014 a woman she had gone to high school with in Canastota. They chatted, and the familiarity put Tracey at ease.<\/p>\n

The surgeon\u2019s office promised to call Tracey the following Tuesday \u2014 two days before the NCAA teams were slated to come to town. Tracey and a friend went into the basement at work to take the call.<\/p>\n

Then, the surgeon said eight words Tracey hadn\u2019t been expecting to hear: \u201cI\u2019m sorry to say you have breast cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tracey just glazed over. It was a good thing her friend was there to take notes, she remembered.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s small,\u201d they told her. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at probably a lumpectomy and radiation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her friend called Tracey\u2019s husband, and he said he\u2019d be right over.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Tracey told him, explaining she had a staff meeting and TV interviews, and then she\u2019d be home. \u201cI\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, she stuck with the plan and finished her day.<\/p>\n

Tracey and her husband told their children, who assured her they wouldn\u2019t worry if she didn\u2019t. She also talked to her neighbor, who coincidentally had worked at Upstate for Tracey\u2019s surgeon in breast care.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was truly a godsend to me because she talked me through things,\u201d Tracey said. \u201cBecause it\u2019s so overwhelming when you get this. I wasn\u2019t very educated on it. What did I need to know? It was frightening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Going off-course<\/h4>\n

\u201cI found that through this, I needed a plan, and as long as you gave me a plan of what to do, I was fine,\u201d Tracey said.<\/p>\n

She got through the NCAA tournament. She\u2019d already scheduled a vacation afterwards, and took it. Then she went to St. Joseph\u2019s\u00a0Hospital Health Center for her lumpectomy. Everything was going according to plan.<\/p>\n

But when she went to the surgeon for a follow-up, she was told the margins weren’t clear. She\u2019d have to get a second lumpectomy.<\/p>\n

OK, on to Plan B.<\/p>\n

The second lumpectomy was scheduled, and happened to fall on Tracey\u2019s son\u2019s 16th birthday. She\u2019d promised to take him to get his permit. Not wanting to break her word, she figured they\u2019d go to the DMV at 9 a.m., giving her plenty of time to get to the surgeon\u2019s for the 10:30 a.m. appointment.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, well, we didn\u2019t have the right paperwork,\u201d Tracey said.<\/p>\n

She ended up breaking down in the parking lot. It\u2019s OK, her son told her. They would just go back after the surgery, he assured her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt horrible about that. Because in my mind, the more normal I could keep this, the better off I was,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd that threw me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tracey continued on with the day\u2019s plan, and had the lumpectomy. She went to the office by herself, assuring her husband she\u2019d be fine. But then the surgeon came to speak with Tracey, and said she might want her husband to come by.<\/p>\n

Even with second lumpectomy, they couldn\u2019t get it all, the surgeon explained. They\u2019d need to do a mastectomy, Tracey was told.<\/p>\n

Tracey was set up with a plastic surgeon. The night before her appointment \u2014 probably the worst night of the whole ordeal, she remembered \u2014 her oncologist called. He told her he\u2019d looked at the tests, and she\u2019d have to undergo chemo treatments.<\/p>\n

Tracey\u2019s oncologist also happened to have treated her father when he went through a 12-year battle with cancer. The chemo Tracey remembered from her father\u2019s illness was filled with very intense, terrifying sessions. Her own treatments would not be the same, the oncologist assured her.<\/p>\n

Originally, the plan was surgery first, and then chemo. But after her team talked, they agreed it would be best to do chemo first.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I had given up even trying to update anybody by that point, because it was getting so frustrating,\u201d Tracey said, \u201cand I\u2019m like, \u2018Please just give me a plan and stick to it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The chemo was set to begin in early June. Tracey went to pick out a wig beforehand at Profiles by Kristen \u2014 another angel she met along the way, Tracey said. Her chemo treatment was broken into 16 sessions, the first four happening every other week, and then increasing to once a week for the last 12.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first two days, I didn\u2019t feel good,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I got through it. And it was really not as bad as I thought. The nurses at [Hematology-Oncology Associates] are amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paying it forward<\/h4>\n

Toward the end of the chemo treatment, Tracey saw a flyer in the chemo room for the American Cancer Society\u2019s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. It was two weeks away. Tracey and her husband gathered together friends and family, and her team \u2014 Tracey\u2019s Angels \u2014 had 22 people on it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s through events like the Making Strides walk or her recent appointment to American Cancer Society\u2019s board of directors\u00a0that Tracey hopes to connect with and help others going through similar battles. When Tracey herself was starting chemo, a friend who\u2019d gone through it helped her understand what she was about to face.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat can I do to thank you?\u201d she asked her friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can pay it forward,\u201d her friend answered.<\/p>\n

During her chemo treatment, three people Tracey knew were diagnosed. She’s up to eight people she checks in on now.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing how we all have connected and bonded together over something that you wish you didn\u2019t have to,\u201d Tracey said.<\/p>\n

The new normal<\/h4>\n

Tracey\u2019s last day of chemo was bittersweet. Her \u201cnew\u201d routine \u2014 the weekly chemo, the normal doctors appointments \u2014 was coming to an end, and she really didn\u2019t know how to feel.<\/p>\n

After bidding farewell to the staff, Tracey and her husband walked out to her car, to find it filled with 16 pink balloons and 16 roses \u2014 symbolizing each chemo treatment.<\/p>\n

Along with the roses and balloons, they\u2019d left her a poem. It read, \u201cWoohoo! You did it! Now take a few moments to reflect on what you\u2019ve been through and how great you did. But then I want you to go home and let the balloons go. It\u2019s time to put this part behind you and move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she got home, Tracey and her husband reflected on the journey, and then let the balloons go.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019ve done that for two other people since,\u201d Tracey said. \u201cIt was such a way to put some closure to something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the chemo was done, Tracey had the mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. In the two years since, her hair has grown back a considerable amount. But things are far from \u201cnormal,\u201d she mused.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not a normal anymore,\u201d Tracey said. \u201cIt\u2019s a new normal. You\u2019re a whole different person than you ever were.\u201d<\/p>\n

She definitely appreciates every day, even the tough ones, Tracey said. She finds strength in the team that helped her through it all, the crew at the American Cancer Society and other people who have gone through similar struggles.<\/p>\n

When she was going through her chemo, Tracey wasn\u2019t eager to share her story. She didn\u2019t want to be defined by breast cancer. But now, she does realize how important it is to talk about it.<\/p>\n

If her story can affect one person\u2019s life, Tracey said, it\u2019s worth telling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got dealt this card, and I got through it with help of so many people,\u201d Tracey said. \u201cYou can get through it. Please go get your mammogram.\u201d SWM<\/em><\/p>\n
