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.

When shrinkage is a good thing


Just got the results of my scan from last week and I have some good news to shout from the mountaintops!

THE TUMORS HAVE SHRUNK BY 50 PERCENT!

PRAISE GOD!

DIE, CANCER, DIE!

Greedily, I was hoping for a total response (i.e., no evidence of disease), but I will take what I can get.

I'll have three more chemo sessions (next one is Friday) and re-scan for more good news.

Thanks to everyone for all the prayer, love and support. We could not do this without you.

Love,
M
