Do Fertility Drugs increase your Breast Cancer Risk?

Could my 8 years of trying to have children and years of fertility drugs have some link to me getting
 Breast Cancer Stage 3B!  Reports say Fertility Drugs are not linked but I will always wonder....

Mexico Trip 2013

IT'S BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE OUR LAST TRIP TO A BEAUTIFUL PLACE THAT WE CALL ROCKY POINT,,,, APPROX 3 HOURS AWAY FROM GILBERT, AZ ... WE DECIDED TO GO WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY THIS YEAR.... GREAT MEMORIES GREAT FUN.

A lot has happened in 3 years with my multiple surgeries and Maya's hip surgeries.  It was so nice to relax, and enjoy time with the children and family/friends.

 Now that Maya has completed her hip surgery... She is able to get on a horse without any pain or discomfort.  Before surgery she could hardly open her legs to straddle a tricycle  That made all the surgeries and pain and doctor visits worth it for me!  She was so happy!

 Drake was the "man"  loved riding the jet ski and did not want to get off. The water is so different from the Pacific Ocean... Warm and inviting...Never want to leave the beach!

 My little sister Leslie... got a Mango on a stick with a splash of lime... These were a hit for everyone!  We bought them every day  2 for 5 bucks!!!

 Maya and Mitch just hanging on the beach trying to boggie board.  Some days the waves were so calm and other days were a bit scary to go out in  with the current!!!

 As you can see Ethen got the 2 mangos  for 5 bucks for him self!

 The 3 stooges!  Ethen, Cole & Grant (my darling nephews)

 At times Maya would run up from the beach and jump in the pool!  How nice is that?  2 in 1... A beach and a pool.. Doesn't get much better!!!!!

 Everyday Ethen would snorkel!  He found an Octopus, Sting Ray and lots of creatures in the water... I was to scared to do this!

 Ethen & Mitch on the jet ski .... & me and my hat I bought on the beach!...
 Great Vacation, Great Memories, Great Friends and Family

My Support... could'nt have done it without them!

I've said it a thousand times.  I could NOT have gotten through my journey with Breast Cancer without my support system.. they kept me going and "did the thinking" for me!  

This is a life changing experience and I believe to get through your dark days you need someone to be there for you.

I GET IT

I HAVE A BLESSED OPPORTUNITY TO HELP WOMEN WHO ARE GOING THROUGH THIS STUPID DISEASE...  Breast Cancer

 DURING THE WEEK I TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH or ABOUT TO GO THROUGH...  I FIND MYSELF SAYING ALL THE TIME..

"I GET IT,  THAT IS NORMAL OR I UNDERSTAND..."

 AND I DO!   CANCER DOES AFFECT EVERYONE DIFFERENTLY BUT IN THE END IT IS SO NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE SAY THEY GET IT!
 
AS I'M TALKING TO THESE WOMEN I'M ENVISIONING HOW THEY LOOK AND I GO BACK TO HOW I LOOKED.    MY MEMORY OF THIS PICTURE IS SO VIVID BECAUSE DEEP DOWN I DID NOT FIND GOOD THAT DAY.

I KNOW WHEN I TELL THESE WOMEN WHO ARE SUFFERING THAT THIS WILL PASS AND THEIR MENTAL STATE WILL GET BETTER AND THEIR HAIR WILL GROW ETC...
IT'S HARD TO COMPREHEND
BUT IT WILL PASS!
 I PROMISE

Emotional Healing

A few weeks ago I was interviewed by a professional blogger that writes for the 
Breast Cancer Society.
 I have to say this interview was somewhat healing for me... It's so healthy to express yourself.  I believe it clears the mind of thoughts and feelings buried inside.  No matter what...after having cancer their needs to be some emotional healing and it might take years!  This was a great healing day for me!

Sometimes I need a reality check!

 Today I really needed this reality check!  There are days when I'm negative and feel a little sorry for myself.  A lot of wishing at times that I could look different. The surgeries and outcome were different than I had hoped for.  I have constant discomfort and pain.  It can get me down for sure!
 This inspirational story had me in tears!  I need to keep remembering
 it's not about the scars and disfigurement.  It's about living.~

18 laps = RAN HER HEART OUT

Maya participated in a Fun Run at school.  She never gave up! Never complained about pain! and just kept on going.....
In a few weeks she will go in for another surgery on her hips... She has expressed a lot of concern and very sad about the thought of going back to the hospital... I promised her Sea World .... She deserves it...Don't you think?
