Grief Stages and Cancer: Part Two
1 Nov 2009 | 5:15 pmOnce the shock wears off, cancer patients may experience a huge range of emotions: denial, anger, bargaining, guilt, and depression.

What makes this emotional stew even more complicated is dealing with family members and friends who are working through these emotions as well, and often in a... -

A Tattoo To Cover Up My Chemo Port Scar
6 Nov 2009 | 12:28 pmA real growing trend is tattoos. Remember when you only saw them on sailors? Well if you are my age you do. Anyway, I have been researching tattoos for a paper I am writing for one of the classes I have been taking at the university this fall. It seems they could be dangerous, certainly hard to get rid of, and even a hindrance to success in the work place. Still, more and more people are getting them. As one young person told me; “By the time I make it to management, the CEO will have a tattoo, so my tattoo will be a usual thing.” He is probably right. For anyone that has had breast… -
Envious of Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Don’t Be.
4 Nov 2009 | 12:11 pmThis time of year people get breast cancer envy. I agree that sounds a little startling, so let me tell you what I mean. Cancer touches so many lives and there are so many different types of cancer. All of them are insidious. With Breast Cancer Awareness month it is pretty evident that breast cancer gets a lot of attention. I think for many who battle other types of cancer or have watched their loved ones battle colon or lung or brain cancer the question becomes, “Why does breast cancer get all the attention?” This is something that I wonder about as well. Since my niece had childhood… -
My Favorite Breast Cancer Program
28 Oct 2009 | 2:03 pmOne of my all time favorite programs for Breast Cancer Awareness month is Yoplait’s Save Lids to Save Lives. Just after I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I came upon the pink lidded Yoplait yogurt in my super market and took a few home. I loved the yogurt so it became a staple in our home. As I finished each container I rinsed the lid and placed it on the window sill. As the little pile of pink lids accumulated, my two boys, 11 and 14 at the time began to ask about them. I explained that I was saving the lids so other women wouldn’t have to go through breast cancer treatment like I did. -
Connecting Women to Breast Cancer Trials

BreastCancerTrials.org is a non-profit organization that was started by two women just like us that had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Joan Schreiner experienced how difficult it was to find a trial that could help her battle with the disease and envisioned a service that could help others find trials and research studies that could benefit them. Joanne Tyler shared her vision and… -
Dr. Kristi Funk on Breast Cancer and Genetic Testing
23 Oct 2009 | 8:49 amI was so blessed to get some time to talk with Dr. Kristi Funk in a phone interview. In my last blog I shared the first part of our interview when I asked her about choosing a lumpectomy over a mastectomy. While she was willing to put forth her thoughts on my questions, Dr. Funk is very supportive of her profession as a whole, indicating that a woman needs to discuss all her options with her own surgeon. Genetic testing for the BRCA gene mutation is one of the biggest advancements recently that we have made in the battle against breast cancer in my mind. So this was definitely an issue I…

Actually that’s been one of the hardest parts of learning to live in a small town. Especially this small town—where they roll up the sidewalk at 6 and you can barely get a glass of wine after dark. Though the party scene for me lately has been fueled by something else. No—not what you’re thinking. I mean Estrogen.

The secret of raising a responsible kid
5 Nov 2009 | 1:59 amI have that rarest of treasures: two of them. Two children who did the stuff everyone wants their kids to do: Not losing sweaters and jackets.

They fill out their own forms and applications. They handle their own finances. They remember to write thank you notes without being reminded. People who know my kids often ask me— what’s the secret?

I’ve always felt young and optimistic and full of life and a sense of possibility with all that’s still ahead of me. And yet lately there’s something else. I feel a little window starting to close, and a new idea dawning—-” I might only have a few good years left.” Suddenly, just being… -
