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.)

Vacation to Peach Tree City

Michael and I spent a long weekend visiting Aunt Denise and Uncle Pete at their home in Peach Tree City, Georgia.  We had a really wonderful, relaxing time!

First of all, their home is absolutely gorgeous.  It is in a quaint neighborhood where all the houses are designed to look like homes in New Orleans, with big wrap-around porches.  Their backyard overlooks a lake, and the home is decorated so beautifully yet it is very comfortable (Aunt Denise is an interior designer–her home is really stunning).  The preferred method of travel in Peach Tree City is the golf cart.  In fact they have a series of golf cart paths that connect all the neighborhoods in the city such that you almost never have to drive a car.  There are paths that take you to all of the local shops, the post office, everywhere!

While we were there we ate at a lot of really great restaurants, we went to an improv show, saw the sites and a lot of shopping.  Best of all, we met several of Aunt Denise’s and Uncle Pete’s friends and neighbors.  They were all wonderful, kind people that made us feel welcome in their neighborhood.

Thankfully the flight home was uneventful.  The TSA workers in Georgia were not nearly as concerned about my cathater as they were in Pheonix.  I’m glad because it would have spoiled our perfect weekend.
