Do you remember what you did on this day 5 years ago? Okay, so it’s been a long time since I’ve posted. Grab a drink and have a seat this post is likely to be all over the place. I remember this day as clear as if it were yesterday. Now don’t ask me what […]
Read more "Do you remember?"Wow so it’s been two and a half years now. That sounds crazy. I had follow up visits with the surgical oncologist & chemo oncologist last week. It’s taken me a whole week to digest my frustration & get to this post. When the surgical oncologist reminded me it has been 2.5 years, I paused […]
Read more "2.5 years"Oh Tamoxifen, I love that statistically you protect me from my biggest fear… reoccurrence. However, I hate the way you make my bones ache and the inability to lose weight.

Read more "Todays visit"Two years sounds like a long time, right? Well two years ago I went in for that annual mammogram that changed my whole life. Some days it feels like it all happened in such a short time & other days it feels like it’s been forever. Finding balance is always hard. Back to […]
Read more "2 years ago"Many many people will spend money on pink ribbon gear this month. Know where your money goes. If it’s difficult to find on a companies website, it’s probably safe to believe they aren’t donating to any research or support. The companies that are truly working hard also work transparently. http://thinkbeforeyoupink.org/resources/before-you-buy/ If you wanna make […]
Read more "Pinktober is here "I’ve been awhile trying to make time for this post. While I’m up late working on another project, I can do this while it’s finishing up.
