Welcome to my blog

Well, file those under "words I never thought I'd type." But after receiving my third cancer diagnosis (melanoma in 2004, breast in 2005 and now breast again in 2010), I've decided to add blogger to my many titles.

Many of you who knew me in 2005 followed my journey through e-mail updates, which I have posted as blog entries below in case anyone wants the entire history.

When I first found out my breast cancer had recurred, I heard some pretty scary numbers regarding survival and prognosis. But in a direct answer to the prayers of so many, God led me to a second opinion, a new and aggressive treatment plan and one of the sweetest words ever uttered by an oncologist -- "curable."

It won't be easy, but I've got a lot to live for.

Forgot to tell you ...

The next step is an appointment next Tuesday (March 9) with my Emory oncologist. I suspect there will be some bloodwork to complete before I can start treatment, but hopefully that won't hold us up too long.

Please pray for minimal side effects from the treatment. I'm happiest when I can stay busy!

Thanks to all for the amazing outpouring of support. I am truly blessed.
