2012 was suppose to be a new beginning for me. After a career detour, I was ready to get back and get on track. I was suppose to become a Mrs. and look ahead to start a family. Everything was rolling along, until the cancer news hit.
Dear readers, sorry for the sudden and long disappearance, but I needed to take some time to refocus. I was simply falling apart and needed the time to pick myself up again. Here's a bit of an update, last chemo treatment was on November 16th, surgery is booked for Jan 3rd. Radiation will commence at the end of January.
During my absence from the blog, I was busy working hard on creating a 'miracle' for myself. I exercised, I ate even healthier, I meditated, imagined my white blood cells eating away the cancer cells, three times a day, I focused on being happy...I did everything I possibly can to create a 'miracle' - that chemo would have shrunken my tumor enough so that I could have a lumpectomy (partial removal of the breast) instead of a mastectomy. Unfortunately, no such miracle happened. I am incredibly saddened by the reality that I will have to bid goodbye to my breast in three days. But I am stronger and tougher, and ready to face the unfortunate reality and the treatments to come.
Thanks for all your messages and support, I wish all of you a happy and healthy new year.
Cheers!

so glad to hear an update! Cheers to 2013 bringing much better things for you. will be thinking of you, hope the surgery goes great.
Great to get your update!!! So happy to hear that you've been focusing on yourself...trying to stay strong and positive.
Will be thinking of you on Jan 3. Yes, it sucks that you have to have a mastectomy but frankly, boobs are over-rated. I'm flat-chested and pretty happy about it since I'm athletic. Boobs just get in the way. Plus, you can always get really nice ones later. You can even pick whatever size you want. What's most important is that you make 100% recovery.
Stay strong! We are here for you!! Here's hoping that 2013 is a good one for you!
Glad about your update! Was worried what you up to and how you have been.
You will make it through, stay strong and the miracle will happen.
Remembering you in my prayers always! Wish you a great year 2103.
xoxo
I have thought about you often. Stay strong! Hope 2013 is a better year for you!

You're back!!! So glad to hear from you, and that the treatment is progressing, even if not in the way you wanted -- because it means that one day the treatment will be over.
Screw 2012. Let us all look ahead to the welcome endings of bad stuff and the mysterious beginnings of good stuff in 2013. Have another glass of champagne, you've earned it. Will keep thinking positive healing thoughts for you. xo

You are a fighter and 2013 will be the year you get better. There are so many thoughts and prayers coming your way and you will get through every treatment, every surgery just fine *hugs*
