I have just had a lumpectomy and will not really know the outcome until I meet the surgeon again next week. We think that I have pre cancer, but mentioning the big C and all sorts of thoughts arrive in our heads whether we want or not... I am going to keep in touch with your blog, because of all the interesting views you have.. hugs and lots of positive thoughts from this side of the pond..

She has 3 children and sometimes I think she really is superwoman. I know her for almost 5 years before I even knew she had cancer. She frequently did fund raisers for different cancer foundations, but I never realized she was a survivor and patient. There are good days and bad, but we all have those. Currently she is trying a new protocol through Dana Farber in Boston, we all have fingers crossed, not just for her, but for all those facing this disease. In high school you always had such a positive attitude and smile for everyone, it was part of who you are. I'd be ready to keel over after 100 yd fly with snot running done my nose and you wouldn't even be winded, you were SMILING!!! You can get through this and be stronger for it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your beautiful family.<br />DaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186493240518477433.post-85823740743540159342015-06-19T23:12:47.391-04:002015-06-19T23:12:47.391-04:00Hi Linda - I am Shannon's cousin, Kristen, and...Hi Linda - I am Shannon's cousin, Kristen, and found your blog on her facebook page today. I love your blog! You wanted success stories and you might know mine from Shannon - but long story short - I have been living with metastatic breast cancer (in my liver) for 6.5 years!!! I was stage iv from day one. I am workig, finished my Phd 2 years ago, married, love being an aunt, and trying to enjoy every day!! Of course there are bad days, but I try to focus on the good days. Support around me is key and you have that!! I am sending you lots of positive thoughts and wishes for powerful, healing rays. If you ever want to chat, I am here!kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14812032860524090902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186493240518477433.post-77882081533027780282015-06-19T21:41:50.769-04:002015-06-19T21:41:50.769-04:00Hi Linda

I wanted to share briefly, The story of a friend who found she had the big C while she was pregnant with her second child. She had a brain tumor and started treatment after her child was born. That was 13 years ago. She is one of the most "glass half full" people I know. I truly feel her positive outlook on life ( Which sometimes made me feel guilty for my own negative thinking ) is the reason for her beating this horrible illness. You remind me of her and I have no doubt like her you beat this too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093113826646758185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186493240518477433.post-4643657323109103302015-06-19T20:09:16.238-04:002015-06-19T20:09:16.238-04:00Hi Linda,
