Well, I still sit here waiting....patiently as I try....for the results of my PET scan that was done back on 6/15. Those of us who undergo these know that the clock can tick slowly while waiting for the results, but come on, 10 days? Give a chemo brain a break! ;) I should be a grateful little soldier in that I am well taken care of by our Veteran's Administration and that there are others who, unlike me, may not have access to these medically necessary scans. So my thought for today is, thank you VA from a grateful ole soldier, but please forward my results. wink wink.
On another note, my Making Strides page is open - please, if you have not yet donated to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign, please consider making a donation at my site. Your donation is tax deductible! June 2, 2012, was three years since my diagnosis, and honestly, I
have met hundreds of other women with breast cancer. Many are still with us, many are not. I am
determined to help ensure that as time goes by, that percentage of
survival increases and that my family will never have to worry about
this dreaded disease again. On October 20, 2012, I will once again walk
for, and carry those with me, who can no longer walk for themselves. I
AM trying to making strides today for "our" breast cancer family tomorrow. I could list so many
names right here, but there wouldn't be enough room to represent them
all.
I
must believe that one day, breast cancer will never steal another year from
anyone's life.
Cheers for an awesome and hope-filled week! Hugs
Hi – just found your blog and have to say that I’m already 100% amazing with your sky diving. That takes guts! Good luck with your PET scan results, and may the waiting soon end.
ReplyDeleteDear Arla,
ReplyDeleteI'm Sophie, I work for an award winning production company, and I'm currently developing a documentary for a US network about individuals who have been diagnosed with a terminal disease.
The documentary will address the hopes, fears, challenges and aspirations faced by individuals of all ages throughout the United States .
I am in the process of reaching out to people who might be interested in being part of the project. You are very inspirational and I would love to tell you more about our project which would be an entirely self-shot documentary. It would be amazing to have you on board for this.
Please do get in touch at sophiebellagamba@gmail.com
Many thanks,
Sophie
Cured of TNBC!
ReplyDeleteI want to take this time out as a cancer survivor to encourage women out there still suffering from this with my story on how i got a cure. The sad news about it is that i was diagnosed on my 36th birthday in 2008 and with stage 3 TNBC which after i made research was a very aggressive form of cancer at that point i decided and told myself i was going to die and that the end has finally come. All my life i never thought of having breast cancer because i was very active and i worked out at the gym several times every week and my diet was okay. In my search for a cure after 6 years of diagnosis and even after chemo which i did twice spending thousands of dollars but to no avail, until a church member told me all about Dr Aleta a herbal doctor that specializes in treating TNBC, who could help me with a permanent cure, i doubted this at first but i later gave it a try following her methods and instructions. It took 3 months and after it all i felt normal but still went for diagnosis and i was clean today i am proud to say i am a cancer survivor no nodes and i am totally free the new diagnosis confirmed it. Do not die in silence or ignorance reach her on aletedwin@gmail.com don't be shy just speak to her today.
