Rejoice!!!

Best Christmas Present EVER!

It's a very PINK Christmas 

in our home this year!

No Radiation.

No Chemo.

Visit my oncologist in 6 months.

Heal and carry on with reconstruction! 

PRAISE JEHOVAH RAPHA;

the Lord who heals!

"Oh Lord my God, 

I called to you for help 

and you healed me." Psalm 30:2  

And thank you to my brilliant medical team:

Dr. Pamela Wright and Dr. Coleman Brown 

May God Bless You and Yours!

You haven't heard the last of me...more to come. This is just the beginning of my duty to make Everyday a Hollyday!

Visuals and Videos: How We Live

The expansion was a breeze - at first. I went right back to work and actually felt better than I had in days. Plus, the "fear factor" had dissolved. I now know what to expect. I found this video on YouTube of an expansion. This is not me (although we did video mine) however it will give you an idea of the process. It's totally bizarre. PLEASE BE ADVISED, this content is not suitable for all viewers. It is medically graphic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ8-f7F9BdI

Although I felt fantastic right after the expansion, yesterday I felt like I'd been to an internal chest yoga class followed by kickboxing (and I was the punching bag.) I worked from home and took it easy. Honestly, I still really hurt. Day by day...that's all I can do. 

Today I see my surgeon to discuss radiation. Fingers crossed for positive news and prayers are welcomed!

Fun Stuff: How We've Lived
In the meantime, I made video essay of the last few months - before, during and after my diagnosis of "The Big C" and my double mastectomy. As you will see, it's all about how you live and who's holding your hand along the way. I'm a fighter and a survivor! This was fun to make!
