Biography

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on September 26, 2005 and again on May 29, 2009, two time survivor. The months following the diagnoses were the hardest on me, my world totally changed. Now that I have recovered I hope to make it easier for a few people by creating this network of cancer survivors through blogging. My background is in web development and internet marketing so that was the way I knew how to give back. Develop and promote this community so other don’t feel alone in this horrible battle. You need to find others who are going through something similar in order to feel sane.

Cancer Symptoms

I found a lump in my left breast while putting on my bra that snaps in the front. I don’t think I would of found this if it wasn’t for the placement of it being so close to the edge of my breast and close to the snap. I also would feel a tingling sensation in the area every now and then, sometimes it would itch a little.

Surgery Description, Dates & Side Effects

My first surgery was on September 22, 2005 where I had a lump in my breast removed. I got the call on September 26th that is was cancerous. My second re-excision surgery was on October 5th. The cancer reoccurred and was found on May 29, 2009. I am scheduled to have a mastectomy on Thursday June 11, 2009.

Radiation or Proton Therapy Description, Dates & Side Effects

I did six weeks of radiation starting on October 26, 2005. What a whirlwind those months were!

Hi Jill, just wanted to let you know that the mother of member lbh24 (Lou) has passed away. If you could post a memorial for her, that would be great. Thanks, Ann

Hi Jill! I just had an idea. What if you signed a t-shirt in t-shirt material ink, and sent it on to another, and they signed it and followed suit until a lot of us signed the shirt. A Cancer Sucks shirt. Then the last person sends it back to you. You can copy it and print a few for us to buy???? I’d love nothing more than to wear my cnacer sucks shirt with my frinds name on it. Or else, send me a shirt and I will do it…LOL
