My Journey through Breast Cancer
On October 11, 2013, I was diagnosed with Stage II Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) ... or as we like to call it, extreme measures for a nap (EMFN). For a while, this blog will be my cancer journal. Enter at your own risk.
My cousin Joy bought a few hats for her daughter a couple months ago, and due to an error on my part, I overcharged her. However, she asked that instead of getting the money back, could I also make a scarf for Liana? So, once Christmas passed, I sat down and made this scarf for her. Its all cotton, light grey, with a yellow tip on one end and hanging pompoms. I kind of made it up as I went along, and I think it came out pretty cute. Joy says Liana is pretty thrilled with it too. Gotta love happy customers!
I am the wife of one hunky man, the super mom of three adorable little girls, and master of two dogs and a fish named Nemo. Life is crazy, exhausting and often Lord-of-the-Flies-ish ... but life is good!
the short version
I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer on October 11, 2013, at the age of 38. I had a bi-lateral, or double mastectomy on November 7. I began chemo in early December, which will last until mid-April. Final reconstructive surgery should happen some time early in the summer of 2014. I will then go on living happily ever after.

His Hunkyness w Josephine
This is hubby. Isn't he hunky? He is the reason I climb mountains, love baseball and the animated Star Wars series, and have learned to relax about the little things. Without him life would truly be dull (and sadly devoid of video game lessons).
