I’m up in Colorado at an Epic Experience winter camp. The activity today was cross country skiing (I’m not supposed to tell). One of the reasons I was so happy to be accepted to an Epic winter camp was that I had no idea if I could cross country ski. It was one of my…
I decided on the plane to Denver last night that this year, I will be strong. I chose not to ask for a wheelchair at the airport, and did not pre-board my flight. After being seated, the hostess asked me if I wanted a wheelchair upon arrival, as one had been ordered for me. I…

As I write this I’m reflecting with some sadness. There have been several people within the blogosphere that have passed away this holiday season.

I mentioned in a previous post that in the new year I’ll be starting a new treatment to help reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence. Since then, hubby has found for me a link to the studies that were presented at the clinical cancer conference in San Antonio. Thanks go to Anne at Chemobrain…
Yesterday, I saw a pain specialist. This was in part due to some ongoing pain in my left breast – right where my tumor used to be. I’ve had the problem pretty much all year. I recall my plastic surgeon days “It’s just a stitch“. I also have back pain and pain associated with chemotherapy…
