I was diagnosed with breast cancer 16 July 2008, and went through the whole range of yucky treatments. There is a new diagnosis of breast cancer every 3 minutes and a life lost every 14 minutes - shocking statistics!
On October 2, 2008, one week before the start of chemo, I went to a Women Beyond Cancer retreat. I spent the weekend with some incredible women and we had a blast. T a k e a l o o k …
On May 3, 2009, Renee, Susan, Irene, Jean, Emily & I took part in the 7th annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer & raised an incredible $13,523 between us. Despite the weather, we walked 26 miles (except Renee who just couldn’t stop & walked 39 miles!).

This from the beautiful GJ: “Still struggling with some pain & fatigue. My former neighbor is 107 years old & says the secret is to “pace yourself”. But I feel if I were moving any slower I’d be going backwards!” — we love you!
and best wishes to Bob with his upcoming ‘stuff’ going on!
I love this page.….….…..thank you.
the greatest gift we can give ourselves and those around us is time. one of my favourite quotes..(and i have loads!)…“the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. they must be felt with the heart”.
The snow that has hit the DC has offered me a quiet respite from the noise and drive of life. My whole being is drinking it up with gusto. It’s amazing how healing true quiet can be.

I’m finally checking in! This is great, Suzanne! See you soon!
