My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

I hope this blog serves as a message board -that early detection is the hope for your future. Pull up your big girl panties - and get your girls checked out. Make an appointment today-(you know who you are).

I also want to document my "Journey on the Pink Brick Road" - because I don't want to forget a minute of it (I think) and I have heard from others that "Chemo Brain" or "Monkey Brain" is the result of the medication that is used to shrink my tumor. I have seen this already - so it will help me to remember where I parked my car yesterday and why was I even parking "there".

So hold my hand and I will hold yours on my journey on the Pink Brick Road (this definitely doesn't look like Kansas)!

Hello Wellness Center - so glad I met you!

I wish Manchester Road was just like it was 20 years ago.  Once I get to 270 - I have no idea where to go- and I wanted to get the Wellness Center by Casa Gallardo (now closed BYW).. I went thru Trader Joe's parking lot, The Lodge Parking lot and I don't remember the rest of my detours....
  Anyway, what I finally found was an amazing place for people like me, for people like you if I am in your life, for people that are my sisters and brothers - I hope all of you can join me there for one of their exercise classes or art classes or to get a good book out on any wellness topic you may want to read up on.
  Everything offered at this center is absolutely FREE - and they are there to support me and my caregivers through my journey.  I set up an appointment with "Charlie" (a girl) and she will find a support group for me that best suits my needs.  I also set up an appointment with a nutritionist - one on one - to guide me in the area that I always like to read about- healthy eating.  I'm so excited to find this resource.....

Great Girls' Weekend  in DQ -(DuQuoin, IL)
Hugs,
Mary
