My Breast Cancer Story, One Year Later

October 5, 2011 By Alex

Cheryl and her family, at a recent summer trip to see the Redwoods.

Last October, my husband’s aunt and my friend, Cheryl, (who, for the rest of  the year gives us her great craft ideas) told us her story about what life was like after being told she had breast cancer, and was in the process of going through chemotherapy. This October, she comes back to us with an update. Luckily, it’s a happy one as she is doing well. However, life still has its tough moments, as recovering from chemotherapy is a long process. Read on to see what the days are like for Cheryl since treatment ended. . .

Cancer is a word we have all become very familiar with.  Most of us know someone who has been diagnosed and some of us have had cancer ourselves.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer May 28, 2010 at age 42.  I went through very aggressive surgeries and treatment to get rid of the cancer and hopefully keep me cancer free for the rest of my life.

So here I am, a year later, cancer free.  The past year and a half has [Read more…] about My Breast Cancer Story, One Year Later

Breast Cancer: A True Story

October 4, 2010 By Alex

Cheryl, today, with her kids, Matt and Molly. (Matt thought it was funny I wanted a picture of her with her bald head!)

Last spring, my husband’s Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Tom came for a visit. They live in Northern California, so we don’t get to see them very often. Beers were drunk, a delicious dinner was grilled, and the kids got along beautifully. It was one of those visits where after they left, you really wished you lived closer, so you could see each other more than once in a blue moon. So, when Cheryl sent out an email a few months later that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, I was shocked. Tears started pouring down my face and I kept asking, “why?” Especially since a big topic of conversation that night was how both my daughter and Tom had been diagnosed with cancer that winter. Today, Cheryl has just finished the first part of her treatment, and words can’t describe how positive and great her attitude is–she’s upbeat, but very realistic at the same time. So, as we enter October, (aka Breast Cancer Awareness Month), Breezy Mama only thought it fitting to share someone’s story from the front-lines. –Alex

From Cheryl:

My day started like every other day.  I hit the snooze button one too many times, I was pulling my kids out of bed with a crowbar and the dog was following me around with a ball so I wouldn’t forget to take her hour for some exercise.  Then, in a split second [Read more…] about Breast Cancer: A True Story
