Here We Are, Again.....

5/18/2020

On 4/13/2020, my life as I knew it changed again. I'm 8 years older, my children are now 18 yrs and 12 years, my husband has a few more gray hairs. 

I was DIAGNOSED with Metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC). An MRI performed in the ER found a 1.8 cm diameter mass in my L2 lumber vertebr. Lit up like a light bulb. The ER doc wasn't really sure what to say to me except I've ordered some Ativan for you. Well, I didnt take the Ativan, I cried yes, but I didnt want it. 

I was admitted to the 6th floor again. Same as last time, except the role is reversed this time. 8 years ago, after my left mastectomy,  my roommate was a metastatic breast cancer survivor. I remember her crying out in pain all night long. She had a PCA, like I did this time. I could push a button for dilaudid pain medication to be delivered every 4 minutes if I needed it. I surely pushed that button quite frequently that first night after I was admitted. And the admitting DR also programmed the pump to deliver continuous pain medication from 9 pm to 9 am while i slept. It was the first pain relief i had had in about 2 weeks. 

While i was there, (even during COVID-19 time) i had a total of 3 CT scans, 2 MRIs, 1 Bone scan and 1 CT guided Biopsy of my lumber spine (needle had to be 4 inches long). Pathology came back positive for Metastatic Breast Cancer. 

NOW WHAT.............

Hello Everyone

Hi, It has been all summer since my last post. I have started a new blog at www.mydivinecrystals.com. The start of my new life, healing after Breast Cancer. I am in remission and feeling better. I am still quite fatigued by the end of the day but I am hanging in there.

In just one week, I will be walking in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Bangor (3 miles) and in October, Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in New York City (39 miles). 

Please visit my participant center if you would like to make a donation.

One Year Anniversary of Breast Cancer Diagnosis

I would like to say, I am happy with SFD in Pittsfield. Today is my 39th birthday. Wow so hard to believe a year has passed since my initial biopsy.

I am so ready to say goodbye to 2011 and Hello to 2012. I have had a Hell of one year. My biospy was on the day before my birthday, one year ago. I found out results on the 20th. One year ago.

OMG.

Thank you everyone for all the support over the last year. thank you. Love you all. I am here and I am Alive



I AM ALIVE
