Addison woke up sick in the middle of the night. I kept her home from school today. Last week her school sent out a notice that the Flu was going around. I really HOPE she doesn't have the flu.
Working on getting 1099s out today and continuing to stay positive.
I understand that it is hard to find what to say to someone with breast cancer. I have no idea what I would say to myself. Knowing that you are thinking of me and sending love my way is just what I need. And I know that if you are reading this, you are doing that. Believe me, I feel it.
I have several reasons for writing this very public blog. I'm not super secretive but there are some things about this process that I will not to devulge and will keep very close. My goal is to inform family and friends of my status and keep you updated with my appts to avoid repeating myself a hundred times. I can't answer my phone or respond to every text. I hope that you know I see them all and feel very loved. Thank you again.
My other goal and probably the MOST important is to inform my young family and friends about early detection. I can't say it enough. I've heard from a few already that they have done a self exam and some that have scheduled a mammogram. This makes me smile!
Thanks again for being so caring. HUGS!
Mindy, you're right I don't know what to say. Except how can this happen to such an amazing person. I've been racking my brain about what I can do to help, so whatever it is, whenever it is, I am here. You are the youngest person I've ever known diagnosed with this and I will tell you it has already changed my life. I'm trying to live everyday to the fullest, not sweat the small stuff, and I too have been giving myself DAILY self exams. You are alreadying helping so many of us...
ReplyDeleteMindy, keep in mind this is about you! When you feel like sharing information on your blog, fantastic. We all understand that the first priority is you and Doug and Addison and Austin, no one else. If you miss a day for blogging just know that we are all thinking of you and want nothing but the best for you and the family. Be selfish Mindy and do what is the best for you and the family and do not try to appease others. Love always David
