Fighting For My Life!!!

I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I am scared to death but will fight this with every part of my being. I always wanted to be a writer. I think this is a good time to start writing. Thanks Vanessa, you have been a writing inspiration to me. I am hoping that this blog will not only help me get my feelings out there but will also keep you informed. I am forgetting who I have told what to and this will make it easier.......no that's not the cancer, that's being old!!!

Happy Hour in the Villages!

Had a blast in Florida. It was sunny and 85 degrees every day. Sorry the weather in Michigan was stinky! Here's a picture of us having a margarita. It was wonderful to relax and spend time with Lynn!

My bald head was safe with really good sunscreen but it was nice to feel and be in the sun. I didn't realize how much I needed to just get away and stop thinking about everything.

New drugs and weekly treatments start Monday the 28th. I am a little nervous about the possibility of a reaction. I know the risk is very small but once again, the fear of the unknown and the realization of three months without a break is creeping into my mind and taking over. STOP!!!!!!!!!

Glad the weather is so great. You deserve a break! Say hi to Lynn for me. My tulips are shivering in the cold! But.....it didn't snow or sleet last night. I'll take that.

I love the picture! I'm glad you had a good time.

Best of luck tomorrow. I will be thinking of you and hoping for an easy treatment with no bad reactions.
