About Me

I am a mother of 3 sons and a cancer survivor. I wouldn't change anything in my life because it makes me who I am today. My family and friends mean the world to me. My 22 year old his a talented musician, my 19 year old is a freshman at Purdue University focusing in Pre-med, and my 12 year old is my daily entertainment. My children are such a blessing to me.

I love life. I love to hang out with my family and friends. I can be outgoing in some circles, but in others I become introverted. I love to change my hairstyle and color regularly. I'm a girl, isn't that what we do?

I am 1 year cancer free as of September...woo hoo! I wondered if I would be able to see my children graduate, marry and have children. I wondered if I would get to grow old with my wonderful husband. They say God doesn't give you anything you can't handle, so that's what I was banking on. Now, that I have been diagnosed with cancer, I look at life differently. I was one that would dwell on the little stuff and it would anger me and I would hold grudges. Not any more. I don't sweat the small stuff. Really, there isn't time in this life to be angry at things you can't change. I just let those things roll off my shoulders now. I truly didn't realize how blessed my life was until my diagnosis. I know, sounds ridiculous, but it is true. I took so much for granted. Please, take my advice, don't take your life for granted, you never know when you will have to fight for it.

I just read your story and must say you are a very strong and positive person and life is in it's own rewards. There seems to be so many happiness and then it's downfalls sometimes I find it hard to get through the crisis but we are all here for a reason and I thank god everyday for what I got. And congrats on your 1 year cancer free and you have more to come. All the best to you and your family.......

Hi Im so happy you are cancer free, that sure is a scary thing to go t hrough, I have lupus Ive had it since i was 24 and my son was 5 at the time and I was a single parent, I was hoping I would at least see my son graduate from high school, well he did now i HOPE I see him get married and my grandchildren, Keep positive and things do get better, and remember dont let yourself get stressed out, I was reading another ladies profile she swtated she believed in angles I do also, I was inn a bad car accident and I shouldnt have made it but i did, the doctors told my twin sister to go and getr a priest she said no im not because shes not going to die. well my mom said 2 ladies came to her while she was walking around the hospital cuz she sat at my bed side forever and needed to get some exercise well these 2 ladies grabbed her arm and said your daughter is going to make it!!!! noone saw these 2 ladies and everyone was looking for them, finally someone said I bet they were angles, that has stuck with me ever since and its been 3 years now and Immdoing good, I have my bad days with this lupus and fibromyalgia and I have the raynaud syndrom and rhematoid arthris also. I live everyday to its fullest. it sure helps when you have good friends around. Im really glad I got on this site I have met some really nice people I watch the "Doctors " everyday. keep in ntouch
