Welcome!


Thank you for visiting; although this blog has taken me far longer to write than I had ever anticipated. If you look at the dates, you'll know that I am very behind. I apologize in advance for that.

This is the story of my fight with Stage IV breast cancer. When I was 29 years old, the cancerous tumor in my breast was misdiagnosed as a cyst. My hope is that this blog will help other women to learn to ask for a mammogram or even a biopsy if they feel something suspicious in their breast, regardless of their age. You must be your own advocate!

If you would like to contact me, you are welcome to do so. I try to respond to every email. Please use my contact page here.

Breast Cancer Bracelets!


I have a page with which I try and sell breast cancer bracelets. Please visit it here. You are just going to love them. Well, besides the fact that they say "cancer" on them, they are a cute, two-color pink. Check them out! (All proceeds to help pay my gigantic medical bill, which currently exceeds $300,000.)

Delayed Diagnosis of Breast Cancer

My original doctor (my OB/GYN) called me to tell me that I was “right to be concerned” about the lump in my breast.  He retold me the results of my pathology report and referred me to a surgeon to discuss my next course of action.  I’m scheduled to meet with the surgeon tomorrow, which is so inconvenient when you are expecting guests.  

Meanwhile, my husband has been parked in front of his computer Googling ”Invasive Ductal Carcinoma”.  He tends to overreact when it comes to health issues- while I’m quite the opposite.  I’m certain that everything will be fine; there’s no sense getting upset at this point.
