My New Routine

I'm living with breast cancer. I was first diagnosed in 2006 and In 2013 it metastasized to other parts of my body which means it is now Stage 4. This is the kind that kills about 108 women a day yet under 10% of funding goes to research. For 2016 I think I'll start updating whats on my mind and how I feel while I continue on with my chemo and cannabis oil therapy. I know there are others like me who FEAR the CRAP out of the unknown. If it happens, I'm sharing. Hold on to your beanies!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I don't think I have to tell anyone this fact as there are enough pink ribbons to do that for me! Ladies, PLEASE take the time to make that overdue mammogram appointment, do that self breast exam, or whatever it takes. Breast cancer does not discriminate. It doesn't matter how old you are or if you've had a family history - breast cancer happens to the best of us and most times when you least expect it. I am not trying to scare anyone, I'm just being realistic. Please don't put it off. Use October as your reminder to help create awareness and to also get checked yourselves.
The end of this month will mark my 2 year "Cancerversary"and I will be celebrating another year all month long!!!

Got this quote from my sister in law today.....

“I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show or any good things I can do to fellow human beings, let me do it now, and not delay or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.”

- William Penn
