Recognition: I'm not sure why, but somebody's reading me
Here it is. I'm on somebody's list. I hope that whatever information or stories get posted here are helpful to other people; I find it helpful for myself to write things down and do this mostly as a selfish exercise. I also got tired of trying to remember whom I've told what and if I left anything out, so it's easier to do things in one place. You will find on your visit here that I have something akin to gallows' humor about my situation, and I often comment on the more bizarre or humorous things that have gone on.
Feel free to contact me, unless it's to congratulate me for my fortitude. I do get tired of hearing "how brave" I am. My goal is not to be some sort of poster child for early breast cancer detection (I failed at that one anyway...early detection didn't help me). I'm also not brave for being afflicted; it's just a fact and I have to put up with it. I certainly don't go around telling anyone, "How cowardly you must be for being perfectly healthy!" If there's anything you have questions about or you just want to say "hi," I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Welcome.

this sucks. and no, we're not brave- we just do what we have to. and we make inappropriate jokes. if we don't, who will?

I love Janet's dark humor about her situation, even if it does make me go "Gah! NoOoOoOoOo!" half the time.
Humor is the best medicine, after all. :)

Hi, Janet, This is Linda Gilliland, Wendy's Mom. You are a beautiful bride, and Brian is quite the good looking groom. I love your blog. Wendy sent it to me in October so I could keep up with you. I sometimes tell Wendy to get in your blog and read. She is so busy she doesn't have much time and forgets. Thanks for being a forever friend to Wendy. She loves you alot.
You keep on keeping on. I just want you to know I pray for you every day and have had my church pray, too. I hope to see you again sometime in the future and meet Brian. I think often of when Wendy and you went with the band to New York and Australia. You took good care of her.
