Ok prayer warriors, I've got a new specific prayer request for you. I will have a scan on Monday, May 3 to check to see if we've made any progress against the beast. I'll see my oncologist the very next day for the results.
Nothing really exciting to report from my visit to the doctor today. She was suitably impressed with my ability to handle the horrific side effects most people seem to get from these drugs. I attribute this to all of you who have been praying for me. God has answered the "minimal side effects" prayers for sure. Keep them coming!
She did suggest something new to try for my mouth sores -- club soda. Apparently the carbonation in club soda helps for some reason with this specific type of sores. We'll give it a try.
That's it for now. Thanks for everything. I am feelin' the love!

Updates from Cancerland
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.

Hi Michelle, Thinking about you tonight -- with all the flowers budding and grass growing, it's a time for new beginnings, fresh starts, brighter days. Sending over prayers for a good new week (with fewer side effects!).
Thinking about you today, on the day your scan is scheduled. I hope Tuesday brings you wonderful news.
How was yesterday's scan. Prayers!
