November 2006

I'm a breast cancer SURVIVOR & I live one day at a time. I'm also a freelance writer, incredibly happily married, and the mother of three amazing sons.

Brief Version: I was diagnosed with Stage 1 invasive lobular cancer in March 2006. At the time of diagnosis, I was 41 years old. Treatment: initial lumpectomy followed by bilateral mastectomy, 4 rounds chemo , oophorectomy, delayed reconstruction (tissue expanders replaced with saline implants), Arimidex. Long Version: It is woven through the archives, and continues to be presented here.
