Sorry everyone; I know I promised I’d announce the winner of a signed copy of From Incurable to Incredible yesterday. Well, as they say, better late than never. Just so you know, the process of drawing names is very scientific. My daughter wrote the names down, cut them out and mix them up in my handy dandy [...]
I’ve been itching to get From Incurable to Incredible to press. But every time I’d review it, it seemed I found more thing to edit. Well, yesterday I finally approved the final proof. My goal is to have books in hand by June 12, when I’ll be speaking at the American Cancer Society Relay for [...]
I met Michelle Diekmeyer through a mutual friend and decided to have lunch last week. We had a really nice conversation and found we share much in common, in addition to the “C” word. In 2004, Michelle noticed her breast was red and painful. She was treated with antibiotics until the pain was so bad she was [...]
I’ve had several people ask when and how they can purchase From Incurable to Incredible when it is released next month. At first, it will only be available online through the Create Space and Amazon Web sites. Once the book is complete, I will include a link on this blog to the sites, so you can purchase [...]
I feel like I haven’t posted in a while. It has been busy around here. My husband and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary, and my brother Doug and his band-mate came to town from California and stayed with us. It was a lot of fun, and it reminded me of the importance of having connection with [...]
I spent a good part of yesterday in hell. It was my choosing. On Monday, I had my PET scan redone because last month it showed a slight progression. It was so small, they thought it could have been a variance in the way it was read. It only takes a day to get results back, but [...]
Hope you all had a great Mother’s Day. I had a wonderful time visiting with my in-laws and getting big, warm hugs from my 11-year-old daughter Chrissy. As I write, the final (hopefully) proof of From Incurable to Incredible is cranking out from my printer. We’re going to make sure they made all of our [...]
It seems like the more I do this blog, the more serendipity in subject matter arises. Monday, I posted about environmental toxins in relation to cancer. Last night, my family was watching CNN, and I learned about the expert panel who is advising Obama about chemicals in the environment. I mentioned in Monday’s post how [...]
My friend Nevine, a fellow breast cancer survivor with whom I share a special affinity for all things spiritual, shared this lovely story on her blog a while back. I have finally gotten around to sharing it with all of you. Enjoy! My patience was again tested that afternoon as I took my house remodeling [...]
Today I received an update in my inbox from a very reputable cancer organization. I won’t mention their name because I think they do great work. The article touted the safety of parabens, a preservative found in beauty and personal care products, and Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical found in plastics. They cite scientific evidence that the levels are [...]
