Well today on 11-17-10 I had to go and get marked up for my radation.
Then blood work, poked 3 times for that. Then had to get stuck again for my PET scan.
So it was a busy long day for me.
So I should know how long I have to have radation by Thursday. Then see Dr. Kang Monday to know how the PET scan came out. I think I'm going to ask to see it this time. I just want to see what I look like. LOL!
So it's round 3 and I'm ready for the fight once again. Like my shirt says....
I will never give up
I will never give up
I will never give up!
You hear that cancer! Good now get the heck out of my body! GGGRRRRRR!

Leslie, Georgeanna, Me, Jackie & Janet
Janet's family
I have to say that they really know how to get you going in the morning. Amazing is all I have to say!
Jackie taking a picture of me as I take a picture of her...LOL!
The view from the hill.
There goes my hero's....watch them as they go...
Thumbs up from Georgeann ;)
This is for my Aunt Darlene. She's very strong. She's a survivor.
This is for my Aunt Deanna. She never knew how strong she was. We lost her early this year.
This is for my mom. She taught me to be strong. She taught me to be strong & laugh alot. 13 years strong.
This is for Steve's mom Nancy. She's strong too.
She's 12 years strong.
Thumbs up still before lunch. Day 1
It wasn't to hot while they were walking. So glad it was 70 to maybe 74. Great weather. I didn't know how dry it was out there. You must drink A LOT of water ;)
Lunch time.
Lunch time is a time to let your feet air out, change your socks and catch your second wind.
There's a lot to this 3 day walk. You must be ready for this. These woman are amazing.
There they go again ;)
Steve making sure all is well with the girls. Even Steve matched the girls!
Nothing like seeing lines of pink tents. I was in awwwwwww.
Pink tent city.
An end to the first day of walking. Now it's time to rest up. Clean up. Then get to bed because day 2 is the longest day for all of them. 22 miles or even a few more. Who knows. It by far is the hardest day for them.
Even the doggie's got into it!
There he was, a dog like Molly. Just a little taller. Kinda made me home sick.
But hey the doggie's enjoyed the day too.
A Boston for Kris! And it's a girl :)
Cheer Station for the walkers.
Look Jackie is taken a picture. They all took pictures everyday of their walk. Strong ladies!
I don't know how Georgeann finished this walk.
If you saw her foot you would be like how?!
I'm not sure how she did it. I have never seen
Blisters so big before. She's amazing!
Alright! I have to say these husband/guys were so funny! Ballon boobies & cowboy hats! Oh and can't forget the "10's" everyone got as they walked by. If that didn't cheer you up I don't know what would.
I have to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU & THANK YOU! They walk for all of us. They walked for those who have gone before us, their mother's, aunt's, sister's, cousin's, best friends, grandma's, grandpa's, husband's, fathers' & brother's. Breast cancer strikes not only woman but men too.
So we have to say thank you to all who volunteer, those who walk and those who cheer them on. It was heartbreaking and super fun to be there to watch. God bless each and everyone one of you.

Here I go again.....check this place out!
So here we are on Camel Back Moutain. I did not make it all the way to the top. As you see in the pictures there were no steps for me. Steve did hike all the way up. Hey that's ok with me. After chemo I' m not the Energizer bunny..lol! But I made it to the bottom of the last part. 3/8 mile marker. Not bad I do say.
I have to say this area is so amazing! I wouldn't of been there if it wasn't for Georgeann doing the Susan G Komen 3 day walk. I have never seen so many awesome women and men who so care about breast cancer. They walked the walk let me tell ya! 60 miles in 3 days! BRAVO! These amazing folks kicked some butt out there! Their all my hero's!

Why? I will.....
You know I wonder "why" a lot these days.
Why people have to get cancer?
Why people have to treat you different because you have cancer?
Why some of your friends can handle it and some can't?
Why do these nasty, drug dealers, crack heads live a long life when good people have to get cancer?
Why do some drugs work on cancer and some don't?
Why do kids get cancer?
Why Why Why Why?? Hmmmm.....
Good questions.
Well I know that god doesn't give you what you can't handle. For some reason he thought it was a good idea to give me cancer yet again. I can be mad. I can hate him for it.
OR..........................I can be the person I know he would want me to be. For that reason he gave me this cancer.
He "aka" God thought I would be strong enough to help those who can't understand cancer. Those who have the hard time dealing with it. I'm not saying I have all the answer's but I know enough to hold my head high and face cancer head on.
I'm strong for those who can't be strong. I cry for the one's who pass from it. I cry for the one's who just find out they have cancer. I hold my arms wide open and hold the one's who need a hug.
Yet I come right back to that good old question WHY?
None of us will ever have all the answers. I guess in the end those will be answered by him "aka" god.
So I will keep being strong. I will keep my head held high. I will be the stronger one for those who can not. I will be a mom that will teach her children to do everything they can to be the person's I know they will grow into. I will be the mom to show them that you can be strong in times of great pain and sadness. I will be the daughter, sister, sister in law, friend, mother and the wife who will lead them all to stand up and be strong in the hours of sorrow.
I will be ME.

Just some pictures that I took the day I had the CT scan. I cried and cried when I was getting the CT scan done. It just sucked. Plain and simple it sucked.
I think I cried until I came to where I wanted to take some pictures. That is by far the one thing I can do and it brings me peace of mind.
Who knows maybe it was just a sign from the big guy to tell me to hang in there it will get better.
Then as I'm taking pictures the sun was out and it started to rain and rain hard. Sun still out and there it was, a double rain bow. The second one is hard to see but it's there.
Maybe it was a sign to bring me peace. Peace of mind. I don't know why I have cancer yet again but who knows why we get the things we do. Maybe I'm here to show everyone out there that cancer isn't all that bad. You can be a positive person even with cancer. Maybe I have to show my children to be strong when the chips are down. Or you can do whatever you want if you put your mind to it. Not sure why I've been dealt this but I will make the best of it.
That's all I have to give. I just have me to give. Give to each of you the power to and the will to fight. Fight for life. A voice for all to hear that you can beat cancer and you can be positive about your cancer. You just have to be. If your not it's more likely you will die faster than someone who is willing to fight and be that positive person.
You make the choice. You make the choice to be positive. You make the choice to stand up and say I will not let cancer take me. You make the choice to be the better person in life. And you make the choice to be who you are. Only you can make that choice.
