Okay so much for trying out a new blogging thingy. I really liked the template for Vox but everyone was having a hard time with it so I gave up.
Back to Blogger.
This time around it's been much more complicated but I'm "rolling with it." :)
I'm sure I'll be my typical rambling self but wanted to sort of set the tone before I start going thru the really "cancery" stuff. I've been feeling kind of like a fraud since the surgery (partial mastectomy with sential node biopsy) didn't really feel any different than any other kind of treatment I guess. I think it's the whole chemo and radiation that really sets cancer treatment apart. I'm getting the jitters thinking about what the next few months will be like. Logically I know - gotta do what you gotta do - but sometimes I feel like running. Ha - where I don't know and with all the weight I gained after stopping smoking I'd probably pass out after 10 feet.
But I'd bet my feet would still be moving. ;)
The next step in the adventure is an echo on Wednesday the 23rd.
Deep down I am sure they are going to find something crazy. I seem to attract the odd and unusual. Now I don't normally mind that. I at times embrace it. It's just starting to get awfully old when it comes to my health.
I quit smoking December 2007 -I finally schedule my first "baseline" mammogram because work was having healthy living month...
I get diagnosed with cancer in May 2008
Everyone keeps yelling at me to stop drinking Coke - go on a low salt diet.
Forget it!
I don't want to have name my right breast!

I'm glad to see you have such a "kick butt" attitude, I think that is more important than anything else.
I've put this blog on my google homepage(didn't know I could do that)and I'll try to keep abreast...I mean abob of the situation.
If you need anything at all and think I can help, drop me a line and I'll do what I can.

Welcome back to Blogger... how did the echo go? I changed my picture to make it easier to understand... :-)
