• Talking About It

  
  Chatelaine — Authority: 132
  My life is still reverberating from the act of talking and writing about the idea of my own death.  Reverberating in a good way.  It feels like something happened to the weight and girth of the subject; like I can get my arms around it and shift it to a more comfortable place, instead of just feeling crushed by it. ...

• Delicious Pizza!

  
  The Assertive Cancer Patient — Authority: 426
  My friend Amy, a blogger friend who lives in California, e-mailed me on Friday and asked if she could have a pizza delivered for me.  Now, at first pass, it didnt sound appealing, because I havent had much of an appetite (probably from the Tykerb), but then I thought about it and I said yes. We agreed on a garlic ...

• No More Pain!

  
  The Assertive Cancer Patient — Authority: 426
   When I was in Hawaii last week, I noticed that I didnt have any bone pain. I figured the warm weather was responsible, because Ive noticed during previous trips to Hawaii that my bone pain goes away.  But then just this afternoon, I was working (slowly, mind you) and playing in the backyard with Connie--pulling ...

  BlogHer - Health — Authority: 144
  Not all breast cancers are created equal...And of all types of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer is the most deadly (as well as on the rise).  The reason it is so deadly is because it is virtually invisible. So, what makes inflammatory breast cancer so much more deadly than other types of breast cancer? ...

  Living Beyond Breast Cancer — Authority: 116
  This entry was written by Jayme Gittings, our Manager of Individual Giving: Pink boas, cowboy hats and fuzzy bras.  Sexy swimsuits, brassy tee shirts and pajamas.  A whole lotta attitude and a whole lotta love. That’s what I found at the 10th Annual Conference for Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer ...

• A Daughter’s Story

  
  Living Beyond Breast Cancer — Authority: 116
  This was a post on our message board in response to a woman’s struggles with her mother’s diagnosis of breast cancer : My mother has also been recently diagnosed with bone and liver mets. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 with no lymph node involvement. She had surgery, chemo, radiation, and ...

• Hardest Day

  
  Chatelaine — Authority: 132
  First the good news: Although all CT scan results are not yet in, so far there is no evidence of metastasis in the bones.  It could very well be that the rib I cracked this morning (with one big hearty cough-sneeze combo at breakfast) is just a “cough fracture.” But it hurts like hell, so you’ll forgive me if ...

• Two Down, One to Go

  
  The Assertive Cancer Patient — Authority: 426
  As I mentioned the other day, my recent visit to the ER and then the follow-up appointment with Dr. Lee the First yielded three more medical appointments this week.  Yesterday, I saw my cardiologist, Dr. Julie Heyn, and then this morning I had an ultrasound exam of my legs to look for blood clots. The only thing ...

• Ice Picks

  
  Chatelaine — Authority: 132
  I had a call from my oncologist’s office: I need to come in tomorrow to talk about the test results.  That means the CT scan results were turned around very quickly… and it doesn’t bode well that we need to meet immediately to discuss the results.  I’m doing everything I can to hold it together – ...

• Breast Cancer is Not a Death Sentence

  
  Living Beyond Breast Cancer — Authority: 116
  Here is a personal story that was shared on our message boards : My journey started in early 2007 when crippling back pain sent me to my primary physician. I was suffering from back pain and didn’t know what it was. The pain was elusive. As a pediatric RN, I knew something was wrong. After numerous ...

• Pushing Back: My Second Walk in a Week

  
  The Assertive Cancer Patient — Authority: 426
  I had another long (make that looooonng) day today, starting when I left the house at 10 to head for my cancer center. All I had before I left the house was coffee, because I wake up slowly and cant eat for an hour or two, but I threw a banana in my bag for later.  Good thing I did, because Dr. Lee decided to give ...

• The Storm

  
  Chatelaine — Authority: 132
  There is a big storm here today – a blizzard.  The snow keeps coming down and piling up, traffic slides and crawls, and on the sidewalks people bend forward and stumble into the horizontal blast of a Canadian winter reminding everyone who’s boss. I’m feeling a little like the cancer is showing me who’s boss ...

  The Assertive Cancer Patient — Authority: 426
  I received an e-mail the other day from Dale Knight of Verizons "West Area Executive Relations," which sounds like a PR arm of the cell phone company.  When I googled "West Area Executive Relations," thats what came up--complaints against the company. See:  Verizon West Area Executive Relations Now, I am ...

  The Assertive Cancer Patient — Authority: 426
  I really dont have the energy to deal with this, which makes it all incredibly frustrating.  But my Forbearance Agreement with Citibank, which meant I didnt have to make mortgage payments for six months, is up, and I am past the time I need to find another solution. I should have been working on this for the past ...

  The Assertive Cancer Patient — Authority: 426
  It is an unbelievably beautiful day in Seattle, and I am so proud that I managed to do what I said I was going to: Walk the dog.  Ever since this latest round of pain began--first in the right hip, then in the left--I havent been able to walk Connie, and he has been relying on a once-a-week, hour-long walk with ...

• Just As Likely

  
  Chatelaine — Authority: 132
  My blood counts were once again too low for treatment today.  This is a little disconcerting, a little frustrating – but I understand that it’s not the end of the world.  This chemo is serious stuff and my body needs to recuperate a bit. What was more than a little disconcerting was all the conjecture ...
