About Me

Diagnosed genetically with MSH2 (Lynch\'s), and am having some new problems. Out of 16 children in Dad\'s family, 14 have celiac. Among us 1st cousins, 20 do; 2nd cousins that have been tested are about 60%. I am grateful that my heart & brain tumor issues have had no changes. I hate being dizzy 24/7! Brown outs follow, like when you faint. I am going with \"perhaps she\'s crazy\"! Had follow up surgery 7/23/2014 for BC issue. All went well. Diagnosed with PD on 1/19/2014 and just sort of floundering. Have had two bouts of breast cancer, a brain tumor (meningioma) removed, had an oopherectomy and hysterectomy, 2 strokes from chemo & radiation, and had most of my large bowel removed.I also have a heart stent and 2 more blockages. Also have osteopenia that is progressing, so have to be careful about falls. I\'ve been blessed to survive it all :) with lots of prayers, and a sense of humor. Although depression will try to jump on you when it thinks it can. I have a tremendous partner who can also make the tall leap to caregiver in a single bound. I try to give him time to himself to keep him going, but he\'s a trouper. I\'m blessed with good friends, strong faith and my dear husband. My adult kids have had a hard time with all this. Still struggling some.
