This is the day to be happy :)

I truly cherish this message.

Going through my breast cancer journey has taught me to appreciate and be happy every second of the day becuase there are women who don't get that second with this disease. It hurts my heart each time to learn of someone loosing their battle with cancer like over this weekend Julia Surgarbaker from Designing Women ( she was my fav on the show) passes away from her battle with breast cancer, but I know that God…

Awaiting Results



March 25, 2010

It’s been almost 1 year since my last PET CT Scan. I was so nervous leading up to my appointment day, on March 22, I could hardly sleep at night. I was so sick and worried about the outcome of the results. I had to follow a special diet, I was tempted so many times to just dig into sweets like this Sock-It-To-Me cake I bought a few days before I started the 48…

screening

Do you all find that your Health Insurance covers screening more than once per year. I have heard of some people that are only allowed a screening every two years. What has your experience been?
If insurance companies have limits, do you all know of other options that people may have to get screenings? Do health departments help with this sort of thing?
Please post any advice or tips that you all have.

Uncertain

Over the holidays I was enjoying my family and having a good time with the kids, but in the back of my mind I was feeling uncertain about a lot things. Mainly because of my Breast Cancer diagnosis 1 year anniversary coming up. I forgot how to enjoy myself because I was too gaurded in the previous months dealing with breast cancer. I regret now, not being able to be carefree and fun and outgoing during this holiday season as i once was. I want my old self back but I think breast cancer has… Continue

Awareness

I may not be an idea candidate for this site however, I am so interested in supporting the efforts of this foundation until I had to join. My 22 year old daughter Shontia Charnelle Slade of Rochester, New York was diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2002 after she discovered a lump in her breast. My whole world changed radically. However, may I say that I have never seen anyone so brave before, during, and after all her chemo treatments. Her attitude was always "well if it wasn't me it would… Continue

Thanksgiving Holiday

My Thanksgiving Holiday was a blast! I saw family and friends I hadn't seen in forever. But this year was different, I didn't have the energy to cook all night like the year before. Around last year this time, I thought I had good health and strength. But what was going inside of me would shock me and my family. I took for granted what seemed easy last year cooking and enjoying family and friends. I've been through so much this year I give all thanks to God, family, and friends. I am so… Continue

Never Give Up!

You cry and then wipe your eyes and let go and let God deal with it! Those were the words that I remember my Dad telling me when I first found out about my cancer diagnosis. He aslo said that he would give his own life to let me live. That's when I knew that I couldn't give up or give in to this devastating disease called breast cancer. I was alone the day I found out and soon after everything was schedule to take place, like chemo, labs, doctor visits, I was no longer alone on this journey… Continue
