My Story...

It was in 7th grade when I found out that my mom had breast cancer. I can remember that night like it was yesterday. I remember my mom pulling me aside as I was racing around trying to get everything I needed to get done for school the next day. I knew this wasn’t going to be good by the tone in her voice, and how serious she was. When those words ‘I have breast cancer’ came out of her mouth, I felt as if the wind had been knocked out of me. I was speechless and didn’t know what to say to her. A… Continue

PET CT SCAN RESULTS

Hi everyone! The past couple of days I have been sitting on pins and needles waiting for some very important test results. I had my quarterly PET CT scan done. For those of you not familiar with that, it's a test using a radiactive isotope that reacts with the glucose in tumors. It's extremely effective and it is a great tool used for more advanced cancers like mine. Well, the drumroll of the day is.....NO NEW TUMORS!!!!!!!!! For the first time in two years there are no new tumors sites anywhere… Continue

A Question For The Mom's

Howdy Ho everyone!!!!!!! I'm recovering from another treatment and feeling overall horrible about it. I have just been so tired lately I feel as if I do not know which way is up. I am doing Taxol chemotherapy, but I am also on a new drug called Avastin. It inhibits blood vessel growth so new cancer cells can not develop a way to feed and therefore can not grow into tumors. It also helps with current tumors by slowly killing off their blood supply of food. My question...are any of the other mom's… Continue

An Image in my Mind

It's 6:15 am here. I had my chemo treatment yesterday and either the steriods have kicked in big time...or the fact that I was knocked out in bed by 7:30 pm has me awake. Wired awake. Wih a burden on my chest to release. I have to release it some where and tears are going to fall as I type, but I share so much with you all, I feel I must share this. Mind you....it's a rough draft, I feel I can't control the speed my fingers are typing at so please pardon and typos, incomplete sentences or punctu… Continue

My Little Girl

Pure gift from God. Total unconditional, undying, unfaltering love. Seeing so much of oneself in her grey eyes. Sitting utterly amazed by her beauty...a smile that pulls at my heart. Feeling her arms wrapped around me after a long day at work. Tucking her in with hugs and kisses at bedtime. Wishing for so much for her. Having to nurture and love and support her so that she feels as empowered as I when she smiles at me. The searing pain of her birth a distant faded memory. Replaced by first steps… Continue

DEMANDS OF SIMPLICITY

Mayhem and confusion are distant faded memories. An ability to live and let live ruling all. Selfish attainable goals within my grasp. Leaving closed doors closed locked tight. Headed down lifes' path my future before me, no worries no bothers. Relishing in the warm glow of life flowing from the doors already open. Simplicity being focused on and pushed upon myself, by myself. Blinding myself to a hidden door left unlocked but closed, The seductive warmth it radiates tingling my senses. My subco… Continue

THE GIFT OF A MOMENT

To capture a moment in your hands To hold it, study it, Looking deeply into all things composing this moment. Compiling a mental list of ingredients And dissecting the consequences of this moment. To crush this moment that you are grasping in your hands. Extinguishing all life in it. Executing something out of your own control. Refusing the opportunity to channel this moment. Exercising the possession of this moment before it flourishes. Feeling the thunder of this moment. Crashing upon all le… Continue

Grateful

*This was kindly posted for me on the reegular site blog by Priscilla. With all the new members we are getting here I would like topost it here as well. It is an article of mine that I've had published in a few different publications. It sums up my feelings about living with breast cancer quite nicely. * GRATEFUL Not many people can find a reason to be grateful for cancer. Not many people are diagnosed at the age of 28 with stage I invasive ducal carcinoma. And then are re-diagnosed at 31 with… Continue

Weekend of Magical Moments

Pretty much if you read any of my info on here you all know I love fishing. There's fishing for sunnies and crappies...then the big fishing, bass and trout. Not up until this weekend I just fished. It is my escape to sit by or on the water and watch it go by and not have any worries. Well, this weekend, I stepped it up. Yesterday, the trout was mine. It put up a good fight but not until today did I fight with a gilled one. Today, I caught a bass. A whopper bass....5lbs had to be at least 16" lon… Continue

I'm Still Kicking

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while...I've not been doing too well. I'm of course still undergoing chemo. The chemo itself just make me extremely tired, which on most days I can deal with; I gave up on trying to be Superwoman a while ago. I've given into the time I need my naps, deep breathing (thank you Nancy), and just resting when my body screams rest. What does get to me is a relatively new drug out called Avastin. It is for metastacized cancers. I was in a clinical trial for it… Continue

Choosing to be authentic

I am choosing to be authentic to who I am and what is real for me. I am not going to wallo in it and spend time over analyzing what is real. I am just going to notice it and accept it as who I WAS in that moment and now I have THIS moment to be who I choose to be..... When I notice what is real for me -- depression - joy - excitement - anger - loneliness - playfulness - abundance - love and loving -- those feelings are real they are what I choose to do with the moment. I then ask myself 4 ques… Continue

Very Bad Chemo Day

Today stinks. It is a miserable damp day out. I had to go for my chemo....AGAIN. And I am overall in a piss poor mood. I had a horrible argument with Taurus last night. I guess my illness is wearing on him as well. I guess I've been rather insensitive to that but I'm too busy being Mommy and dealing with being sick and tired. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I'm tired of driving 132 miles round trip once a week for treatments. I'm tired of getting poked and prodded at once a week. I'm… Continue
