This Time Last Year

Speaking of Pictures...
Posted on September 09, 2008During the course of the blogging scholarship contest last fall I received hundreds of e-mails from all over the world. Many people wrote to offer their support, but many wrote to share their breast cancer and other cancer stories and...
Book Cutting
Posted on September 08, 2008One of the posts on my original blog was about how I cut my law school case books to make them smaller and more portable. I got the idea from another law student's blog long before I started school, and...
Through The Looking Glass
Posted on August 18, 2008Apparently each member of my immediate family is walking around with a big ?V? tattooed on our foreheads these days. That?s ?V? for victim. Karly?s car was hit with paintballs two nights in a row last week and Randy woke...
2008 Chicago Breast Cancer 3Day
Posted on August 17, 2008Last weekend was the Breast Cancer 3Day and it was an amazing experience. It was everything that people had told me it would be?and more. I have been reluctant to sit down and write about it because I don?t think...

Drink the Wine. Wear the Clothes. Use the China.
Posted on July 02, 2008I find that all the exercise endorphins and the effects of a healthy diet and my joy at living are easily tempered by the sobering news that I have received in the past few weeks. One day a month or...
Update
Posted on June 30, 2008Despite appearances, I have not abandoned this blog. After Randy asked me if I had decided to stop writing, though, I thought maybe I should post an update. In the last few weeks I?ve finished up the spring semester, taken...
Walking the Walk
Posted on May 15, 2008As you can imagine, I?m all about reminding women to do a monthly self-exam these days. Every time I tell my story to someone new, I always end with an entreaty to be vigilant about doing self-exams. I confess, however,...

The Home Stretch
Posted on May 07, 2008Another semester is over and I am busy preparing for finals now. It feels much different than the end of last semester. When I was reviewing my notes in preparation for finals last semester, I didn?t even remember covering certain...
What's On Your Playlist? (Part 2)
Posted on May 07, 2008I got such great reactions when I posted a list of my workout songs a couple of months ago that I thought I would post a continuation of the list today. You guys gave me some great suggestions for additions...
Flashbacks
Posted on April 20, 2008I have written before about how frequently I still think and talk about breast cancer. I am still dealing with several residual physical effects of chemotherapy, including, among others, menopause, weird nail issues, and nerve damage in my left arm...
368 Days
Posted on April 13, 2008That?s about how long it has been since I first discovered a lump in my breast. As I wrote recently, just a few days after I found the lump I had breakfast with my kids, my parents, and my brother...
Hair Update
Posted on April 13, 2008This is for those of you who have been curious about my hair. This was taken on Friday night at dinner with my friends Rachel and Gayle. I am about 5 1/2 months post-chemo. Yes, it's curly! No, there is...
After
Posted on March 27, 2008I have been writing more about my walking/race training and school recently than I have about breast cancer. To read this blog, you might think breast cancer is a distant memory for me now. It is far from that, however,...
What's On Your Playlist?
Posted on March 25, 2008My 3-Day and 5K training is going well and I continue to feel stronger every day. I still don?t know if I?m actually going to be able to run the whole 5K, but I?m going to try. I have been...

Posted on March 21, 2008It feels a little like that first scene in Home Alone around here?the one where everyone in the family and in the neighborhood is rushing around trying to get out of town for the holiday break. Today marks the beginning...
