Last night, was kind of a sleepless night, I tried not to get all nervouse about it,but I couldn't help it. My husband and Mom flew in late night Sunday. So I had only about 4-5 hours of sleep. I was given specific instructions on Wed June 17th no eating 8 hours prior to Surgery and I had to use Anti-Bacterial wipe to reduce infection.
My alarm went off and shortly after my lovely Mom was telling me "its time to get up!". I woke my Dad and husband also. I packed a overnight bag with some persona… Continue

OMG! On Jan. 26, 2009, when I heard the words "you have breast cancer" I felt numb! I wanted to cry like a baby, but I held it together until everything was explained to me, plus I was by myslef so I didn't feel as though I really had a shoulder to cry, I didn't to cry on the doctor's and nurses shoulder because at that point they were strangers to me, you know.

Hello,
On Jan 26, 2009 I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma breast cancer, Stage IIIA, my tumers were 4cm (HUGE), and I had possible lymph node involvement. Just this one sentence that changed my life completely :(

With all that being said, I can write a book leading up to this date and several months after this date has past. Does anyone want to offer a sweet book deal? Just kidding!

I dont know where to start....

Hi there!
YEAH! 6 cycles of chemo and I'm done. My doctor's were amazed at how well I responded to chemo, meaning the original tumors can no longer be felt. Amazing!
Although chemo was very difficult, I thank God for getting me thru.
My next course of treatment is surgery scheduled June 22nd @ Madigan Army Medical Center, FT Lewis, WA.
I will keep you posted.

Hi everyone,

I have had four losses in my life.

1) The loss of my father one year after my marriage. I thank God he was able to walk his only baby girl down the wedding isle before he passed away from pancreatic cancer

2) The loss of my baby. Before I married I was with a gentleman who thought loved me unconditionally. I come to find out differently. I was three months pregnant when I miscarried our baby. I never will forget the loss of my baby (and to date never had another child)

3) The lo… Continue
