This is my Day 2 post of the WEGO Health Activist Writer’s Month Challenge. Day Two’s directive is to either introduce your condition/your activism or share links to 3-5 of your old posts (or posts from other Health Activists) that will help the newly diagnosed. I spent the day at Disney World yesterday which means […]
I remember being in awe of the blogesphere last year during the month of April. So many bloggers participating in the WEGO Health’s Writer’s month long challenge! Just what this scared, breast cancer newby needed. I learned a ton about breast cancer and survivorship by reading the posts generated by this challenge–and became aware of […]
Hmmm…this year is definitely about growth and openness to trying new things. Trying to use my iPhone to compose this post isn’t quite the easy peasy process that I’ve gotten used to with Word Press on my PowerBook. However, after losing a large section of an earlier post–one that had already been published–a couple of […]
Friday, March 15, 2013 Who would have thought that 27 years ago, when I graduated from high school and received a typewriter from my grandparents as a graduation gift, that I would meet my husband in cyber space via Matchmaker.com or complete the majority of my grad school research online (becoming very fond of JSTOR […]

After more than a week of night sweat induced insomnia leading to a fog of fatigue, a friend at work inquired as to whether I’m getting enough exercise. I was a little defensive when I replied that “Of course I am! I’m walking the dogs in the morning.” Which meant that I went home with […]
This journey through BC Land has been assisted by a great many resources–helping to give me practical advice, useful information, guidance and increased understanding of the complexities of this disease. I want to start putting together a monthly post of the sources that have made an impact on my life in some form or another. […]
For over a year, my oncologist has mentioned that she wants my body to go into menopause. With my ER+ breast cancer–where my type of cancer thrives on estrogen–estrogen is my nemesis. I’ve been taking Tamoxifen, which interferes with my body’s production of estrogen, but it hasn’t put me into full blown menopause. I’ve had […]
This current feeling of life is ‘good’ seems a bit strange. My feet are up while watching the season finale of “Necessary Roughness” (a little eye candy is fun) after an odd little two months, a prickly six months, an intense year. My complicated cyst found on December 19 is benign. My ovarian cyst found […]
So, Word Press stats are rather interesting. Yesterday, someone found my blog by searching ‘mardi gras 2013 boobs pics’ which linked the person to a prior Mardi Gras post of mine.
