My sweet granddaughter, she keeps on growing up

My adorable grandson, he started preschool this year and this is how he chose to pose for his mom

I had been gone from my blog for a while.  I just wanted to say that I had been diagnosed with Ductal breast Cancer Stage 3.  I went to the doctor to have a mammogram done and immediately they discovered my lump.  This was about June this year.  In a matter of two weeks I was having surgery, a lumpectomy, to remove the cancerous lump.  Of course the biopsy was done too.  And I started chemotherapy right away.  I am in my 4th cycle of chemo.  I lost all my hair, thank goodness for wigs!  The hardest part of chemo is every time i get it, The nausous are horrible for about a week but later on i get better and i function normally, till the next cycle.  I am half way treatment now,  Only for more and I am done with chemo.  Then I will have radiation for about a month and a half and the nightmare will be gone.  Hoping to be declared cancer free.  So, for now, that's all is going on in my life.

July 4th, 2014
America's birthday

Another year celebrating Independence Day in this beautiful country.  It looked like a great sunny day, very hot my family informed me.  My little grand kids came over to our mom to celebrate the holiday with barbecue, salads, fruits, treats, games for the kids and lots of other fun activities.

You might be wondering why I seemed to be outside of the picture.  In a way I had been.  Today, after my
many years of celebrating this joyful holiday with my family, i am in bed.  I had been diagnosed with breast cancer.  It all happened so fast, I can't remember when all started, but it has been fairly recent.

About almost 4 weeks ago, I went to have a mammograme done just for the sake of it.  At the end of the imaging they said they saw a lump.  So, the doctor ordered more images added plus an ultra sound, which all of it confirmed, I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma.

Just this past Monday June 29 they did a lumpectomy and discovered that 8 of my lymph nodes had cancer so they removed them as well.

Today, I am at home, in bed, recovering from surgery  My kids came over to say hello, Landon and Kate too.  Husband is having a well deserved break at his mom, where all the action has been, after cleaning and working hard to make me comfortable

In 2 to 3 weeks they will start with the chemo and radiation.  Chemo will be around 4 to 6 months and then 2 more months of radiation.  Let's hope I won't have any new surprises this coming Thursday when i see the doctor to have a follow up of the surgery.

More updates will come as i feel like writing.

So long.....

I just cannot remember without looking at my blog, how long I had been gone from it.  I just found out that I
 have a lump on my left breast the size of a quarter and tomorrow I am having a biopsy to figure out if it's benign or malignant.  Whatever it is, I guess I will survive.  Summer is coming to Utah pretty soon, we have had a hot spring already.  But is so nice to have the windows open and feel the breeze of spring and the noises of neighbor children playing in their yards, they are already out of school.  My little grand kids are still growing more and more beautiful and funny.  I love my family.

2014 and not much had happened since last time I posted

   Except that my son broke up his engagement.  He finally got his Associate Degree in Science and he continues working on his Bachelor's degree.  I colored my hair, it was beautiful while it lasted.  I don't know how to add pictures, the blog seemed to have changed, once more time....  Till next time.

2014 And not much had happened since last year

Except, that Tyler broke up his engagement, I colored my hair and can't return to what got by pure randomness.  But here goes a picture of my self.  My hair is not longer this color.  I am under the weather, and not much strength to add to my blog.
