About Me
mom of 3 - just 1 left at home, and she will be going away to school probably in August. Mom of 3 dogs - all at home (most of the time). I had both breasts removed last June - 15 days short of 1 year. I have terminal inflamatory breast cancer, there is approximately a 20 to maybe 40 % survival rate. It seems there is usually about a 3 year life expectancy and I have absolutely no one to talk to about all this. Although we've been together for 32 years now my husband is verbally and emotionally abusive. He has a girlfriend he spends every other weekend with. He fought with my son untill he got fed up and moved out. And around the time I was diagnosed with cancer my daughter became an alcoholic and she is also bulimic.

Close Breast Cancer
Stage: IIIA (T3 N1)Two days before Thanksgiving of 2006 I woke with a pain in my armpit. When I felt there I found a couple of lumps and more down the side of my left breast. I was at my dr's office the next day and without so much as even touching it the dr. said, "you have breast cancer". It's a rare type - inflamatory breast cancer. They say it is only 6% of all cancers (not just breast cancers). Within days the breast had doubled in size and was all dimply (like the skin of an orange).This kind always returns.
Treatments
- Chemotherapy Working / Worked
- Radiotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- Surgery Working / Worked
Close Breastfeeding
I'm a Grammy now, but I ran the nursing mother's group in my town for almost 20 years. I think most people these days realize that "breast is best". I nursed all 3 of my children so I have plenty of experience but on the other hand my daughter wasn't very successful and that's ok too. She was worried I'd be upset with her but I helped her to wean the baby. I would be happy to help any new moms in any way that's needed. Our group counciled moms on other mothering issues also.
Open Stickler Syndrome
My son was developmently slow and had speech and feeding problems. He was not diagnosed untill he was 4 yrs. old. At around 8 yrs old they said they could see Sticklers in his knees and eyes. I will tell him about this group because he's never known anyone else with this condition. I'm so glad you're here
