Fun Stuff. The economy has peoples creative juices flowing. One of my hottest items this season is a funky snowman.

My friend went to have tests which revealed breast cancer. She had ignored some symptoms because she runs a thriving business. She had a radical mastectomy. She came home with drains in place and a big bulky dressing. Her doc said he would call her with the pathology report in one week. She endured the surgery and said that she could recover much better when she got the results of the pathology. She called me after the week had passed and her phone calls weren't reurned from the doctors office.
Her doctor has had the tests rerun to confirm the findings. She would have to have chemo as the results revealed they 'had not gotten it all".
I believe she had 18 rounds of chemo since. She is running around now running her business with a little bald head.
Her situation forced me to update my outdated information and I was astonished at the amazing success stories.
I can't recommend Lance Armstrongs book highly enough. He had testicular cancer that had metasitsized to his brain and he is cured. That means the cancer had to travel from him testicles to his brain and everything inbetween.
People assume that the camp I work at in the summer has a high number of cancer campers. We get a group from Italy and then the rest are random, few and far between. We primarily have HIV, sickle call and hemophelia.
I did just work a weekend at camp for a group called Bravehearts. Women who are in some part of their breast cancer recovery or treatment.
These woman had a blast and offered such support to each other.
I always say that chemo kills you so you can be born again. The most incredible people emerge afterward.
It might be a good thing for someone to attend her appt with her as two heads are more likely to hear whats being said accurately.
I don't think you should be that person Christina, unless you can face that time in your own life as if it's over, because it is.
We are all just one lab test and one phone call from having our world rocked. Knowledge and support combat fear best.
I am so excited about Obamas priority of having stem cell research on the front burner. I don't think most people realize what diseases will become history. It is devasting news and gives one a real sense of self. I can't think of anyone who has a better story to tell than you Christina about how many positive things can happen in this kind of crisis.
It sounds like her husband needs some support and help interpreting things as well. Your husband may offer his perspective because I am sure he has his own book to write about it.
The best part of your book is the ending. These words that tramatize our lives like Cancer, aren't the monsters that they once were, they aren't so big and final at least. I hate that anyone has to face any monster. Hopefully, an excellent plan of care will be put in place.
I don't think of cancer as being a disease. I won't give it that power. I think of it as situation. We have a certain mind set about diseases.
Situations include us in the solutions.
