So, I just got back from Sicily. No, I feel like I just got back from Sicily because I read my sister’s blog, Expateyeview, about her recent trip to the Mother Land. It’s a highly recommended read for anyone who loves Italy or who just loves fabulous writing. She’s got a way with words for [...]

I’m Living Proof
Posted in breast cancer, tagged breast cancer, Her2, Herceptin, Living Proof on October 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m watching Living Proof on Lifetime, the movie about Dr. Dennis Slamon who pushed to get the drug Herceptin approved. This drug is near and dear to my heart–figuratively and literally. It’s keeping my heart ticking, after all, by keeping my cancer away. So, I’m watching this movie, watching and realizing how lucky I am. [...]
Too tired to walk

Barking Basset hound puppies have nothing to do with breast cancer awareness, but I’m sitting here trying to listen to Robin Roberts talk about her journey while a choir of Basset hound puppies provide background music. My neighbor has nine Basset hound puppies. They are so cute!!! And, they are so loud!! I’m laughing as [...]

Pink is for princesses and for my little girl, who loves the color not because she’s a girl, but because she just loves pink with a passion. I love pink, too. (Maybe not so much the marketing of pink, but what pink stands for this month as a symbolic color.) I’m not sick of pink. [...]
