  9. I can't say "been there, done that" because my cancer was a little lower. Eww!

    When I was fighting the good fight, it helped me to hear success stories so let me tell you that 10 years ago I wasn't given much hope and last month my oncologist said she doesn't even need to see me any more!

    Stay positive, follow orders and stay positive.

    Don't hold back from blogging if you happen to feel the urge. It's part of what makes you the special woman you are and that won't change just because you have more medical personnel in your life than usual.

    Patti

  14. I am very proud of the fact
    that on your blog,
    you have decided to make your fight againist breast cancer so public when so many others are
    afraid to get tested, and
    afaid to get treatment.
    I'm 100% sure, doing nothing will
    kill you.

  22. Thank you everybody, for stopping by with your thoughts, well wises and success stories. They give me the warm fuzzes.. ((Hugs)).

    My Dr.s have a strong hold on me and are even arranging all my appointments. I'm just going along for the ride.. Which, makes it a lot easier for me.

    My dad.. has sent me several DVD box sets, to watch to keep my mind on something else other than my illness. He is such a good daddy...

    My husband takes me to my appointments and serves me a margarita when we get home. So, I can sleep like a baby..

    My spirits are good. :)

  25. A little late, but I'll add my thoughts to the others.

    One piece of advice - if you have any questions or doubts or concerns about anything, ask the doctors. Don't be shy about being a "troublemaker" or "looking stupid". This is your health and no question should go unasked.

  26. I'm praying for you Dawn and I know you will get through this. You were my first friend here in blogland and you are truly an amazing woman. I will do my part and post as much as I can on here. So don't worry about anything. You just take care of yourself.

  28. Dawn, I just got the news of your breast cancer this morning! Having had friends and loved ones with cancer (most of who beat that rotten S.O.B. cancer, thank God -- not to put the whammy on it!), all of us here at Team Bartilucci H.Q. While we're sad you have to endure this ordeal, we also know you're a fighter as well as an optimist, and we're rooting and hoping and praying you'll be kicking cancer's butt, big time! If we can help in other ways, please let us know. Hugs, confidence, and courage to you and all who love you from all of us here!

  29. Dawn, I'm sending good wishes and good vibes your way. I had breast cancer in 2008 and had a mastectomy so now I walk around minus a boob. Big deal. The important thing is stay strong, stay angry and do everything you can to beat this pain in the ass thing. It is very do-able.

    Most important, GET ENOUGH REST. Treat yourself with kindness.
