Hello,
I went for my routine blood work this morning. I knew it has been over 6 months but didn't realize its been 9 months. I have an appointment with my Oncologist on Monday March 26 so I am sure he will give me my results at that time.
I took my son to the ENT and his hearing has improved but not where the doctor would like him to be. He is just above the line for hearing and should be stronger, He was on a steroid again and nose spray morning and evening. We go back next week and I hope his hearing is back to normal if not then he will need surgery.
Everything else is low key not much happening. I will keep everybody posted. Talk soon :)

Happy V-Day :>
I just wanted to wish everybody a happy, relaxing & wonderful day! Life is too short not to enjoy it even thou some days seem worst than others.
I am feeling good. I need to make an appointment in the next few weeks to see my Oncologist and get my 6 month blood test done. I am going to wait and see if my son needs surgery hopefully not before I get my blood work. I can't believe it! He hasn't had any issues with his ears since he was 1 y/o and now he failed his hearing test in both ears due to fluid in his ears. At almost age 12, its not as common to get tubes but it does happen. He was on a Steroid and hope it clears it up. We go back to the doctors at the end of the month to follow up.
It sometimes still seems a blur that I had Breast Cancer. I feel it made me a stronger person. I am not ashamed about what I went through and I talk about it all the time. I hear about other individual who are having medical concerns and wish the best for them. I am fortunate that my doctors found the cancer early. I am going to stay on top of my health so there is no surprises that we can avoid.
Check back soon...... Peace & Love to Everybody!!!

October misc.
Hello,I wanted to update my medical information. I went to my OBGYN in October for my annual follow up. Even thou I had a full hysterectomy , the doctor still performed a pap smear. She spoke with me about any concerns, which I didn't have at this time. The visit went well and there were no problems.
October was my big mile stone, I turned 40 y/o. Gene and I went away with another couple for an over night. This was the first time we have left the kids. They did well and thanks to my mom for watching them. We can't wait to take a longer trip next time LOL! The women went to the spa which was nice and relaxing while the guys went golfing. We were at the casino resort which is about a hour from our house. We had a wonderful dinner and ended the night with a little gambling. We had a nice breakfast the next morning then headed home. It was a wonderful time!!!
busy busy busy month.... as you know we didn't attend the breast cancer walk. This month we also had to go see Rheumatologist for my daughter at Yale Hospital. The doctors were concerned that her immune system might be affected by a blood disorder. She was a trooper for the 2 1/2 hour exam and they took 14 vials of blood from her.YIKES YEA!!!! the results came back the day after we got back from our getaway and she doesn't have Lupus or any other blood disorders. The doctors at this time think she has a sun sensitivity. I guess we will have to wait and see when the sun comes back out in the Spring.
On Monday for Halloween, we were able to go trick or treating even thou it snowed on Saturday. It was a cold night but the kids enjoyed themselves.
Hope everybody is doing well and enjoy all the upcoming holidays!!! I added a few photos on my site of the kids in the snow. Chat soon :) Check back as I will update when I have more news.

Breast Cancer walk 2011
Hello,
The weather didn't cooperate with our state so our team Bossom Buddies decided not to walk in the snow. The walk was on no matter what the weather was (rain, snow, sun) but I wasn't going to go out in 30 degree weather walking on ice/snow along the water (park is along water, nice place). For our state- CT it was a very unusual storm at this time of year! None of my friends that grew up here in CT have seen snow before Halloween. The storm happened on Saturday October 29, the walk was on Sunday October 30, and Halloween was on Monday October 31, 2011. Our spirits were at the walk and we will be back next year. It was still a great cause.The donations we collected will help researchers unravel the mysteries of the disease and lead to new treatments and cures, and support programs such as free rides to treatment and temporary housing for breast cancer patients being treated far from home. For that we say, THANK YOU!
My website for the walk is still accepting donations for the next week then I will close it up.
My daughter and son's sports team honored Breast Cancer for the month of October (Breast Cancer awareness month) please visit my site to see the photos.

Where I live we we were very lucky not to lose power, some sections of my city were out of power but have been restored. There are several cities that have no power and will not be back on for another week. This is horrible since its so cold!!! We pray those in need to get it back on soon!!!
I will be posting more today or tomorrow so check back! Take Care stay warm, & smile today :>

Monica's Breast Cancer walk
Hello,
This Sunday October 30, 2011 will be our 3rd year we are participating in The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. If you haven't donated please consider helping out, even a small portion would help this awful disease women and men are facing. Unfortunately, we all know a family member or a friend who has or had Breast Cancer.
I will be posting pictures in the next week from the walk. My daughter's soccer team wore pink shirts and socks to support breast cancer for this month and my son's hockey team taped their hockey sticks pink to support breast cancer.
Take Care and thank you for those who already donated and supported not just me but all of us facing this challenge in life.

BC walk Oct. 30, 2011
Hello Family & Friends,
I know you're busy so I'll keep this quick. I just signed up to for an event that's really important to me on October 30, 2011 – the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk – and I wanted to ask if you would …
Please support me with a donation!
(Just choose from one of the links at the bottom of this email)
OK, that really was the quick (and to-the-point) version, but if you have another minute, I'll tell you a little more. There are 2.5 million breast cancer survivors who celebrated another birthday last year because people like you made a donation in support of people like me. There are a lot of breast cancer events out there, but I'm fundraising for the American Cancer Society because I like that the money helps people in every community stay well and get well from breast cancer with around-the-clock info and amazing support programs. It also helps find cures through research and empowers people to fight back for legislation that help save lives from breast cancer.
Thanks so much!, This is for a great cause not only for myself but for all individuals fighting breast cancer.
Take Care,
Monica
