I AM A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR
I am a happily married 48 year old Carpenter. I have two children who I love dearly and two Grand-Babes that will forever own my heart. I have a large wonderful family scattered all over this great nation. I miss them all, always!
My husband and I live just south of Kissimmee, Florida. We hate it! We moved here only because of our jobs, but have decided it not worth living only to make money. God put us here to LIVE!
We own a little piece of property up in North Carolina, which is where my daughter lives, so North Carolina, here we come!!!
UPDATE........UPDATE.......UPDATE........UPDATE.......UPDATE
God, I haven't been back to my blog for a while so when I read the above entry, it sent a shock through me. I have to explain for those of you who do not know what has happened over the last seven months. I realize that I could just delete the entry and start all over but when I wrote it, that was my life. I miss my husband.....
About two weeks after I had my mastectomy, my husband Freddy went to the doctors with a cough. They took some x-rays and before we knew it, he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. They gave him 6 months to 5 years to live. There are no words to describe the insanity. Other then colds now and then, Freddy never got sick.
Sadly, I have to say that I now live in North Carolina without him. He passed away on December 12th 2009. I miss my husband.....

Hey darlin
Love your blog, I am soooo proud of you , I would never have believed you would share this part of your life with the world, understanding your need for privacy. It is such an important topic, so many women are hit with this news and have no place to turn. I'm sure your openness with this subject will be a great help to others in your position. Love you so much. Hugs and kisses to Freddie.

Deb... you're a fantastic gal.. and sharing this is a really important contribution to breast cancer awareness...and to the knowledge that there is a life after diagnosis!
Thank you so very very much for the blog, for the photos and for the videos. You're very special! I wish you the very very best.

Shadow7,
Yes, early detection is very important. It is imperative that all women understand how important mammograms are!!!
I love you mom so much for all your courage and of coarse for just being you. xoxoxox~Stinger
Deb, you are an angel thinking about everybody else when having your surgery and recovery.
I had my bit mastectomy with TE on Dec 31, 2009. I'm doing my fillings now, yes very painful.
Good bless you for sharing all this info and pictures.
