My Journey with Cancer

Dear Family, Friends & those I have yet to meet,

If you have found your way to this page, we are most likely connected through a life experience related to cancer.

 

In December, 2010, I received my first breast cancer diagnosis.
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma - right breast
Treatment: lumpectomy, removal of 11 lymph nodes, 6 rounds of chemotherapy, and 33 radiation treatments

This diagnosis came after recording "The Magic Mirror" CD and developing research for cancer patients.

From day one, I knew this was an opportunity to love myself more deeply.

I kept a Personal Journal to help remind me this was a journey of love.
(see links below)

 

In December, 2012, I received my second breast cancer diagnosis.
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma - right breast 
Treatment: right mastectomy, full hysterectomy, Tamoxifen for 7 1/2 years

I continued to journal and in 2013 self-published my book, "Loving Life...All of It...A Walk with Cancer, Compassion and Consciousness." The Life Lessons continue to support me today.

In June, 2026, I received my 3rd breast cancer diagnosis.
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma - right armpit
I found a lump in my right armpit near the lymph node removal scar.
An MRI, ultrasound, and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
LESSON - Continue to check your body even after a mastectomy...and tell your friends!

Treatment: To Be Determined after pathology of removed mass

What we DO KNOW:
* PET Scan results indicate NO signs of metastatic disease - YAY!! 
* Outpatient surgery to remove mass on Wed. July 1st went well

NOTE: When I learned my favorite surgeon (Dr. Patricia Limpert) joined the MO Baptist medical team last month, I just smiled and said, "Of course she did!" ~ she was my surgeon in 2011 & 2013. 


* I'm home resting and healing with very little pain or discomfort.
* I feel very peaceful, supported, and loved.

 

UPDATE: July 7th



Thank you for your continued prayers and loving thoughts. ?? I'm healing really well, feel good, still taking things slow and steady and am thankful I didn't have much pain. John and I have been binge watching "All Creatures Great and Small" ... finished Season 6 last night. ?? I have a follow-up with my surgeon on July 14th and will meet with my radiologist and oncologist the following week to talk about what treatments they suggest based on the pathology of the mass. Please know I continue to feel safe, supported and so deeply loved! ??  

As always, I know this is an opportunity to ...

* remember I Am Safe, I Am Supported, I Am Loved, I AM LOVE ... as are you

* CREATE HARMONY within and around me

* continue to SLOW DOWN, LISTEN, TRUST & CHOOSE my next step

 

My mantra, prayer, theme for this 3rd journey with breast cancer ~ and life ~  is, Keep the Love Flowing within & around you ... because honestly, LOVE is the answer.

With that feeling, if you would like to add me to a prayer list, please do so. 

  

And there's even more beauty and love flowing with this journey ...

Months before this 3rd diagnosis, I was asked to be part of a very special movement to expand the paradigm of breast cancer from one of fear to one of Love. This resonated deeply since THE NEW PINK PARADIGM is my paradigm.

The first collective global gathering of prayer and intention is August 8th.

If you would like to become part of this first Global Prayer Day, please add your name, or your organization's name, to the Prayer Map. (just hover over bold words and click)
