The date I got diagnosed with breast cancer, I will never forget – June 2, 2015. But the day I celebrate is March 16, 2016. That is the day of my last radiation session and I was done with active treatment. It was the day I consider my “cancerversary”, the day I started considering myself … Continue reading Marking a Milestone
Anastrozole Strikes Again
We have all come to the realization at some point or another that things have their good points and bad points. This can apply to people, jobs, foods, absolutely anything.

The Wait
When I was young, the week before Christmas was the longest five days in the world. Knowing there were presents somewhere in the house but not being able to open them until Christmas morning was like torture. Did I get that Cabbage Patch doll I asked for? Maybe I got a Texas Instruments computer! (I’m … Continue reading The Wait
A Birthday Wish
Today is my birthday! BC (before cancer) I didn’t make a big ordeal about my birthday. My husband and kids would get me a cake and take me out to dinner, maybe a little gift (last year I got Steelers ugg-like boots…what more could a girl ask for? LOL) but other than that, it was … Continue reading A Birthday Wish

Discovering a New World
I have lots of dreams. I want to start a kitten nursery. I want to go see a taping of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. I want to travel in an RV and see the country. And, I want to see turquoise water and white sand. After my cancer, I didn’t want to wait … Continue reading Discovering a New World
Starting the Day Right
I love smoothies. Anytime I can get a McDonald's pineapple mango smoothie, I’ll take it! But if you stop and think about all the sugar in one of those smoothies, you would gain 10 pounds just think about it. After my cancer, I decided to revamp my smoothie recipe and make it healthier and full … Continue reading Starting the Day Right
Lost and Found
Some decisions you make in life end up resulting in unexpected trials and tribulations. Things you never thought of, some serious, some just plain ridiculous, become reality. This fact is very true with some decisions made during breast cancer. “A Day in the Life of” becomes a staple statement for me when telling people about … Continue reading Lost and Found
