whoknows
My second year anniversary of having life long chemotherapy happened September 13 2007. This was my third round of chemo. First in 2001, just before getting remarried. Then three small chemo’s during my pregnancy in 2004. and now my 2nd year long chemo, and met bones. This blog is to help one cancer survivor get a handle on her disease. I would like to pay special tribute to those who are about to battle, who are battling and who have battled breast cancer. If you are researching for the first time and stumbled onto this site, please take a look at the experts because I don’t claim to be. Just a modern gal going through over 2 years of chemo with a pre-schooler under foot. It is true that I am no expert but by experience, I have faced issues of fertility, chemotherapy and radiation while pregnant, sexuality, and issues of longevity quality vs quantity. Therefore I am living proof of God’s grace. My goal is to focus primarily on breast cancer news, premenopausal survivors, mothers who have small children and undergoing chemotherapy. I am always seeking informed sources and never quote anything in my blog without a reference in a study, conference or medical journal. I try to choose words that are at a 7th grade English level so that even English as a second language readers can follow. Come join the joy ride of my wacky adventures!
