It was six months ago today that Brandee took the last great journey of her life. While I held her hand and watched her take one last breath, she passed on to Heaven at 1:44 AM on 15 March, 2021. She was the best part of my life and losing her brought me to my …
Hello to all my blog followers! I know it has been awhile. I apologize. I have really fallen short and honestly, been wallowing in a bit of self pity these last two months. We had planned a wonderful Christmas vacation in Sun Valley, ID with my parents, brother and oldest son to which didn’t turn …
As I lie awake in my bed tonight, I remember my last post complaining about the delay in my new medication. That someone at Express Scripts was dropping the ball. I guess I was feeling a little sorry for myself as I knew, in that short amount of time, that I was getting worse. But …
This last week frankly, sucked. My prescription was placed almost a week ago through the specialty pharmacy at MD Anderson. But my insurance denied that pharmacy to fill the script and it has to go through Express Scripts which is a mail-out pharmacy. I won’t get into the entire story, but as of today, Monday, …
Numb, that is the best way I can explain how I feel right now. I want to feel sad or angry, but I am not. I am highly disappointed though. That I can assure you. I even feel guilty as I feel I am letting people down. Yesterday the doctor informed me the treatment is …

As much as one may think, we do not go exploring and having fun everyday. In fact, it is important to take some time to just relax and sometimes do absolutely nothing. The last three days was like that for us. Do not get me wrong, we are not necessarily complete slugs! There are still …
Happy dance–that is what I was doing this week after I left the doctors office. As I stood outside, I even shed a little tear and praised God; just short of falling to my knees. Last year I was not receiving very good news from the doctors regarding my disease prognosis. When I started another …
That time between tests and finding out results is the worst and can be filled with anxiety. I read posts from my fellow BC sisters and I know this time can really weigh heavy on their mind. I am no different; however, I believe I manage my angst well as I try to keep a …
April 3, 2015 was not only my nephew’s birthday, but the day I received my current diagnosis of Metastatic Breast Cancer. The phone call came while I was at work and my heart just sank. It has been five years and I’m still alive and kicking! The average survival rate of a patient with MBC …
