Okay let's just get this said right up front, having cancer SUCKS!!! (Now I feel better!) I feel totally obsessed by all of this. It"s something I was convinced I would never have to worry about. How wrong can you be!
I am writing this not only to let those interested know what is happening with me but as therapy also. Our son-in-law Richie (the computer genius) suggested this blog to me and I am so grateful. I have such a wonderful family!
This has already been quite a journey and I am just beginning. June 3rd when I was told I have breast cancer in my right breast I was blown away. In the time since then I have been treated wonderfully by everyone. I have had mammograms, biopsies, an MRI, ultrasounds, xrays and blood tests. The only thing the medical professionals haven't done is turn me up-side-down and shake me to see if the breast would fall off. Anyway, the upshot of it all is it has to go. Now I am not happy about it but I know they are right. (I have a good boob gone bad!) Most of the time I feel I can handle it. Then there are those times I want to do what I did when I was a little girl and the doctor was making a housecall because I was so sick. I ran and hid under my bed way back in the corner so no one could touch me (or so I thought) and scream, cry and yell to make it all go away. It sounds good even if it isn't terribly rational!
WOW you know I have never been able to keep a journal because I felt so exposed but this is great. Thank you Richie for taking such good care of me!! More later....

I appreciate your updates......and I knew that you would not be looking for sympathy, just passing on information.
You are a beautiful, strong, courageous woman who is surrounded by friends and family who love you.
There will always be plenty of positive thoughts, love and support flowing your way.
I am a woman of great faith, and will keep you in my prayers and thoughts everyday.
I appreciate this site, because I will then know when you are in surgery, treatment is necessary, and of course, recovery......

Hi, my dear sister...

Crappy situation, cool site. Can't wait to read more posts as you travel this journey.
Suzi,
I am blown away by this news. I can't even imagine the emotional roller coaster you must be on. Journaling helps. I know because I have been doing some of it myself lately. Keep writing. Just getting all those emotions to the surface and out of you brings a calm to your spirit.
You know I love you. You know I will be praying for you. And I will for sure be checking this site often to see how you are doing. So please keep writing!
You are one of the strongest people I know. I have always looked up to you. Your wit, your ability to laugh at life no matter what, and your unquenchable spirit. You will make it through this and encourage others along the way.
God bless you my dear friend. Know I am here praying for you and watching your progress every minute.
Love you!! Penny B
