As of April 2, 2012, this blog became the place for documenting our New Adventure called Breast Cancer. Basically it's all about our Cancer ParTay.
As of Oct 2013- our 18 month Survivor mark- the ParTay's pretty much over. Treatments are done, my hair is back and I am healthy & cancer-free!
As of today- I want you to know that the trick to living a happy, healthy and wonderful life in the future is to remember where we've been, what we've learned and how much we've been blessed! That's exactly what I hope you find here.

Party in Pink

Back in  May, I went to my first meeting with the FM Breast Friends Support Group. It was a good experience but then... life diagnosed with breast cancer happened. I haven't been able to make it back until now. Tonight, Shawn Roehrich (Justice's last year teacher) picked me up and we headed uptown to the the HoDo Restaurant for a Party in Pink. The FM/BF group won a party at last year's Bras on Broadway event and saved it for now. In place of their monthly meeting, Pam and Lisa (co-founders of the group) wanted us to be able to get-together and enjoy each other and our survivorship  I was able to meet a couple more people so I'm glad I went. Thanks Shawn for going with me. It meant a lot!

Message From Host : 
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and a chance to Celebrate our status of Survivors! . We will not be having a Support Group Meeting in October - instead we have decided to treat you to a night and a chance to enjoy each other and Embrace the friendships that we share!
We hope all of you will join us for a fun night! Please wear Pink - we will be having a photograph taken at 6:45 pm   

They had a bar with a group tab and some amazing appetizers. Being almost the only one NOT drinking, I ordered a pitcher of lemonade. Which Shawn and I teased that they must have freshly squeezed since it took forever for them to get it! Who knew I could be such a difficult non-drinker! LOL All the ladies were so much fun to visit with. It is awesome to be able to swap stories with those that have experienced similar life adventures. 
We also got some group pictures. It was a lot of fun! Here's everyone in the group that made it up this evening. 
I'll POST this one when they send it out!

Then we did SURVIVOR pictures. There were too many of us so we broke up in smaller groups. Here's those of us that are 2 years and under Survivors! Aren't we cute?!
