I am writing this blog to keep all of my friends and family apprised of my upcoming battle to fight and conquer my breast cancer. I learned I had breast cancer on March 18, 2008. Early detection promises excellent results and the surgeon stresses, "You will not die from this breast cancer!"

Comforting words to for us all. So, I'll be posting my progress, my highs and lows, new knowledge, old knowledge and anything else that comes to mind for everyone to see. I am also comforted by the knowledge that you'll all give me your support, love and prayers, which I treasure.
