Guess who’s going back to NYC???  That would be me and Miss M!  Yay! I got an appointment with a surgeon (Dr. King) at Memorial Sloan-Kettering  in NYC on July 31st.  The day before I am supposed to set off for Vancouver.  So I’m gonna squeeze in a 5 day trip to the Big Apple…

                  I, like so many of you out there, have battled with food and weight issues my whole life.  Rereading old journals from when I was in 6th and 7th grade revealed an early hatred for my body (one that I’m sure was fostered by my life…

First of all, I need to say THANK YOU to everyone for the outpouring of love and support after my last post.  You sure know how to make a girl feel better!!  I swear, having stage 4 cancer, has turned me into a total hypochondriac.  It’s crazy.  But you never know… And thanks for the…

It’s funny how easy it is to be happy when things are going well and you’re feeling good, but not so easy when things start to go wrong. For the last few days my chest and ribs have been aching and sore.  My breathing is feeling kinda weird.  My energy levels have dropped dramatically.  And…

I just got off the phone with my BFF Auntie ‘Cole…  The last thing she mentioned was the change she’s noticed in me lately…  How different (and how much better) I’m looking…  How I’m rocking the new ‘do (I stopped wearing head scarves and hats when I was in NYC and never looked back)…  And…

Everyone has a cross to bear.  I said this to my aunt the other day.  Mine just happens to be breast cancer.  For others it may be the struggle to get pregnant or have children…  Having your marriage or partnership consumed by years of fertility treatments…  Miscarriages…  Disappointment…  Then there’s others who are stuck in…

I know, I know…  I’ve been slacking on the blog front lately.  But only because I’ve been so busy traveling, visiting family & friends, and saying thank you to so many of the folks that are supporting me on this crazy cancer journey.  It’s all good stuff. I say this because my aunt and I…

So there’s been some new thoughts about my treatment plan. On Wednesday I met with my doctor at Sloan-Kettering in NYC.  She is young, brilliant, on top of the latest drugs and clinical trials, and seems to really like what she does.  And she’s also a young mom so we can relate.  I’m so glad…
