Off with the Mander for another 2nd opinion

Yesterday my niece Sally (I call her Sal E. Mander) arrived in town. We are heading up to UCSD today for another treatment option. We had a long talk last night over dinner when I asked her if she was anxious or excited about her upcoming appointment. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she just sat that for a moment not able to say anything. She said she did have 1 consultation already last week with the University of Minnesota's Oncology Clinic. They told her that there wasn't anything more they could do for her than what was being done or had been done in St. Paul at her current clinic. She said it's hard living with an incurable disease. I can't even imagine. Right now all they can do is keep it at "bay" until it progresses. Next week she goes to MD Anderson, the following week she and her husband will go to Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York. The 26th she's having her takedown surgery (removal of her colostomy bag). Then she'll head to Mayo Clinic ...

Good morning everyone! I am so excited to say tomorrow my 60 mile walk begins. Yes, I am excited to torture my body into walking but it is a cause that is so very near and dear to my heart. It's something that I look forward to every year. This is year number 13 for me. It may sound like a lot of years, and I seem to think so as well, but there are many others that have walk a lot more than I have. AND, harder walks as in fighting cancer. All cancers suck, not just breast cancer. This picture is from last years walk. I look back on some of these amazing journeys and I wonder to myself, since 2006, how many steps have I taken with training walks included? I try not to think of that because that will just make my feet hurt...LOL. I have so many good memories of these walks and mainly because I met my most BEST friend ever in the entire world, Lisa. She has been there for me through thick and thin. She's been my biggest cheerleader and always motivating me when I felt like I...

It's kind of interesting, I'll see people after I had my tattoo done and they'll ask me is that new? I love it, but why Pooh Bear? So as I start to explain that I have this tattoo in remembrance of my younger brother, who's nickname was Pooh Bear, right away, by the look on their faces, I can see that they think they made a mistake by asking me about it. And they'll say they're sorry and sorry for asking. My reaction? Please!!!! Don't be afraid to ask, PLEASE ask! I love to talk about Bill. I want to explain why I have this. I have this for me and nobody else. I love it because I look at it a lot and Bill WILL always be with me. Maybe not in the same sense, but in my heart he will be. Lately my head has been just a complete mess. I feel like my thoughts and emotions are like those last few popcorn kernels in an popcorn machine just bouncing all over the place. I can't seem to make any sense of some things. I'm mad, happy, then angry, then I...
