SURVIVOR

I WORE MY SURVIVOR (LIVESTONG) SHIRT TODAY FOR MY DOCTOR APPOINTMENT.

MY ENDOCRINOLOGIST...A NEW DOCTOR THAT I'VE BEEN SEEING... LONG STORY SHORT WHEN A PERSON GETS BREAST CANCER MANY OTHER ORGANS CAN BE EFFECTED.

* MY THYROID HAS BEEN. *DUE TO CHEMO AND RADIATION.

THEY ARE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON ME! SO TODAY WHEN THE DOCTOR WANTED TO MEET WITH ME I WAS WONDERING WHAT NOW!

THE OUTCOME: THYROID MEDICATION IS GOING TO BE INCREASED. MORE THAN I EVER THOUGHT ID NEED TO TAKE HOWEVER, THE DOCTOR THINKS MY PAST TREATMENTS HAVE CAUSED MY THYROID TO BE COMPLETELY OUT OF WACK!
2 YEARS LATER AND THIS POISON IS STILL CAUSING ISSUES????CRAZY.

BY WEARING THIS SHIRT TODAY I MET 3 WOMEN WHO ARE SURVIVORS!

BREAST CANCER OCCURS: 1 IN 8 WOMEN! THAT STATIC WAS PROVEN TODAY.

NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE THIS DISEASE IN COMMON.

THAT'S WHY I'M STILL TRYING TO RAISE MONEY FOR MY 3 DAY... $300.00 LEFT TO GO! PLEASE HELP!

17 Years...

I wanted to begin my writing by saying "17 years of full Bliss!" However to be honest it hasn't been. Lots of challenges during these 17 years of marriage. I guess the key to making it 17 years are these challenges, disappointments and heartache and how we have handled it.

Mitch,,, great person, kind person, understanding person and most of all he loves me!

I can remember after one of my surgeries it left me so disfigured that my doctor mentioned I might want to let Mitch dress the womb and clean the drainage. I thought how can I do that? How can I let him fix me! He did... with such calmness and sweetness that I knew I'd get through this living "hell" I was in.

So love to you Mitch/ for being with me for 17...

It's getting Hot...170 Until the Event!

I swear I'm not obsessed with the 3 Day even though my blog seems to be posting a lot of this lately. However, I just have to say that I truly have amazing FRIENDS... They have come though 100% in my fundraising. I'm not there yet but I'm getting close!

I'm going to continue training at night. The Arizona weather in the evening is still great. But when July hits I'll be hitting the gym.

I've really enjoyed training alone and have had lots of time to reflect on the past 2 years of my life. Having Breast Cancer for some reason never leaves your memory. It's a good time to think, process and reflect my thankfulness that I'm a live

Love to all my dear friends and readers.

186 days Left

When I raise 2,300 for the 3 Day this is where the funds will go:

Research (for better medications, and genetic links to this disease)

Prevention (Free screenings in Rural areas that do not have local Breast Centers)

Education (for those that are younger than 40 and are more likely to have dense breast= no signs or symptoms)

Complex Imaging to detect early breast cancer (such as an MRI which is just as good sometimes as a Mammography)

THINK ABOUT IT... WHY DO WE WANT OUR DAUGHTERS, GRANDDAUGHTERS TO GO THROUGH THIS IF WE CAN PREVENT IT. Donate if you can.

I'm Still There Mom!

This Mother's Day I was spoiled by my sweet children. The letters they wrote and the gifts they made are priceless! They were really aware that it was a Special Day for me and they really tried to make that happen.

After all the issues I've had at least I'm alive to say "I'm Still There Mom"!

Life is special and I need to continue to remember that.

IT WILL ALL PAY OFF IN THE END!

That's what I keep saying to myself! Some day's "I'm just not feeling it" I have to tell myself "it will all pay off in the END". I do feel good. I'm stronger than I've ever been. So it's worth it. With all life's challenges this is one thing I can control and allow me to feel like "I'm really doing something worth while". If anyone is interested our 1st FUNraiser: Team Bras for A Cause is having a HugE Back Yard BBQ dinner. See blog site for more details.

email if interested in attending....
