Welcome

This year is very sweet for me.

Stable condition is a term, Doctors

use to describe a condition that there

is no cure for. We pray each visit to

the Doctor that this is not the one

that shows another pop up of cancer cells. Each visit is a stress of +10 .

This year was even more so. Sept 27th I received very good news from my Doctor.

Still stable condition, and he doesn't want too see me for another 4 months. Instead of every 3 months. The longer I go between pops the better chance of a complete cure.

This year I deceided to do something a little different on my story pages.

Marianne a poet and friend composed two poems.

For All that is fighting the fight!

Thank you Marianne.

WE HONOR IN OCTOBER....

There is a disease among the most evil
but if you get it don't think life is dark as night
There are ways to cure it and ways to prevent it
you just have to rise, take the battle, and fight

In October we honor all you who survived it
and spread the awareness and make women take care
And all the strong messages of survival and awareness
are out there like beacons, from women wanting to share

And all those who strive to find the true answer
that will eventually result in a permanent cure
this month we are also honoring you
without you, no survivors, for sure

My prayer now is that the messages will spread
just like wildfire now, all over the world
We owe to ourselves to care for our health
we're worth it, so let survival stories be heard!

I pray for a cure everyday,

We have come a long way

but not far enough.

Researchers work hard to find a cure!

We all can help with this fight.

Donations to

The American Cancer Society is one way.

Another is to ask a Cancer victim.

Offer to help any way you can.

Don't be afraid to ask.

Best way to Prevent cancer and to find it, is to do self exams. American Cancer Society and the National Breast Cancer organization can help with intructions. Plus, your Doctor is the best source.

If you find a lump, get it checked out fast.

Do not wait.

If a Doctor gives you excuses, go to another Doctor.

It's Your Right for a 2nd opinion. I fought hard for patients rights here in my town right after I was dignosed. We now have the Patients rights, write up given to all patients at our Hospitals and Clinics.

Locally I am known as the Lady that was not suppose to live. My Doctor fought right along with me. 7 Years is a long fight and I continue to fight.

THAT'S A SURVIVOR

Been down to count but never beaten
chewed on perhaps but not eaten
risen like Phoenix up again
That's a survivor, one who will gain

Shattered in pieces but can get whole
can put together body and soul
and rise, stand tall and take the fight
That's a survivor, who doesn't know night

Down in a deep hole but knows her way out
with inner strength she will make it, no doubt
The inner strength everyone has inside
is what makes a survivor - stands strong, doesn't slide

Good news today.

Saw my,Doctor today, to find out results of cat scan.

I am at a stand still for now.

Cancer is not growing, just there.

Chemo did what it was suppose to do. Beat it back to a point that I can take a maintance type drug once a month. This is good news for me.

So once a month I have my Bone Infusion IV and an maintance drug injection.

I am very happy. It may not be a cure, but I can travel, I can get my energy back, put some weight back on. Enjoy life. !!

Pray that this lasts for a long time!

Celebration Time for me !!!
