Seems a little ironic because we joked about the Mayan doomsday so much... 21dec2012 truly DID end up being the end of my world as i knew it... had a mammogram on that date, followed by an ultrasound, followed by the radiologist coming to see me (never a good sign)
Then a bunch of tests, some more obnoxious than others... then clarity:
i have metastatic breast cancer -- meaning it has already spread to bones, bone marrow, liver
and even so, i am alive, and mostly happy, and trying to deal with the adventure the best i can... so i've started a blog that will probably be pretty random and stream of consciousness... meaning: just like my normal self!!!
i keep believing that i am still essentially myself, even with this awareness that my body is profoundly confused at the cellular level.
thank you for stopping by, and for caring for me and about me
Bea, thank you for starting this blog. I am looking forward to continue learning more from you. You are a great example to me. I am proud to be your friend.
