Crazy Ideas
I said I wasn’t going to come back to this site, but I’ve been doing a lot of thinking this past year. I mean one can’t just end this! There is still more to the story. I don’t want people to get the impression that once treatment is over that’s it. Since I’ve shared so…

New Direction!
Greetings all. So I feel like I’ve come to an end of my journey here on this site. What started out as a blog to help me track my progress in getting healthy and getting in shape in my 40s turned into my cancer blog. It’s been a year and 4 months since treatment ended.…

The Silent Hell of Cancer After Treatment
Everyone thinks that once you finish chemo, surgery and radiation it’s done. You go right back to normal and aren’t you the survivor for getting through all that. Yay you!. Well, I sometimes think during treatment is the easy part. They tell you where to go, what you are doing and why. You spend a…

Getting sucked back in….

It Never Ends
I went to Las Vegas for the Wedding MBA conference. Learned so much. I’m putting together a plan to implement all of this stuff. It’s going to be a lot of work, but I’m hoping it will all pay off in the end! So I had a drs appointment to get my 6 month Lupron…

Happy Anniversary!
One year ago today I had my double mastectomy. I didn’t think I would get emotional, and then the “on this day” post came up on the Facebook feed. As I was reading the updates and words of encouragement, and them my first response out of surgery “Nastiiieeee, yay crackers.”, I started to ponder the…

May Update
I guess I’m only going to update once a month these days. I’m kind of slacking, but, in my defense, I’ve been super busy with things. So it’s been kind of crazy. So let’s see what’s gone on the last 2 months! Business: Geeze. So much work. I pretty much have most everything in place.…

Updates and fun things
I updated my hair chronicles and I didn’t realize I haven’t posted since the end of January. So Here we are 10 months post chemo, 9 months post surgery and almost 5 months since radiation and treatment ended. Seems like a complete life ago. I still tell people I just moved here because I really…
