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)!

5th of the Month Fairy.....

Hey it's me again, this time with Sammie my granddaughter....we both want to tell you it is time to do a breast self exam today.  You have to be your best advocate.  If you have something that seems different than before, then you have something to tell your doctor about.  Don't add an excuses to what you might detect - you deserve it to find out that "it is nothing".  Simple!  Mary and Sammie

    Love your spot, Mary! We Mary's have to stick together on this pink brick road. I remember looking so forward to my last chemo treatment in November 1997-we celebrated with lunch at Cafe Napoli watching the snowflakes fall outside. Matt took me to my first chemo treatment. You are right about the food tasting blah and the cravings for stronger flavors. Most people do gain weight while on chemo for that reason, I think. It is an uphill climb, but the trip down is sweeter than ever. Those grandbabies are sooo sweet! Go Mary!
