The end of 2012

2012 is coming to an end, and what a year it has been. When I think back to a year ago I wonder how I managed to get through it all. January 4, 2012 changed my year. I started out with a quick surgery to have my portocath installed on January 12th, then Marcel and I headed to Leavenworth for the Ice fest. After that it was 8 chemo treatments with 6 hospital visits because I would get a fever and be neutropenic. Then it was my mastectomy on July 17th and radiation started August 20th. My last radiation treatment was September 11th.

What a year, I am glad to have all of that behind me. I am looking forward to 2013 and all it has to offer. I am going to start off the new year camping at Othello tunnels in the snow. Then off to Leavenworth on January 18th for Ice fest part II. This time we get to go dog sledding, I can't wait.

Happy New Year wishing everyone good health in 2013!

Happy Holidays



A year ago at this time I was in the Dominican Republic for work, I had gone for an ultrasound on December 5th before I had left. In my head I wasn't worried at all I just had a lump under my arm that was uncomfortable. Who knew that the lump was going to change my life for 2012 and years to come.

I am happy to say that I am healthy and hear to talk about it. I feel pretty good and am looking good to, if I do say so myself. I am looking forward to 2013 and what it has to offer. I am scheduled to go back to work on January 7th, 2013. We shall see how that goes, I feel good so it should be a piece of cake.

I am thankful to everyone who supported me this past year while I went through my many treatments and surgeries. Thank you for not giving up on me, I didn't give up either.

It was nice to have this time off leading up to the holiday season. Marcel and I were able to take a short vacation to the Mayan Riviera. I have all my baking done, Christmas presents are wrapped and all the decorating is done. Just have to sit back, relax and visit with family and friends.

Cheers to you and your families over the holidays!

Love ya,
Liane
