Dear Diary #1 - Introduction

 Hi! 

If  you are reading this post, it means I have decided to share this link and have moved ahead with my journey of reflection. 

Let's start at the beginning, I guess. My name is Barb, I am a 46 year old woman living in Alberta, Canada. I am married (for the second time) to a wonderful guy named Darrin and I have two (plus two) kids. My son Codey is 27 and married to a very lovely lady named Kate, and my daughter Jayden is 25 and is very recently married to her best friend, Ilya. 

I didn't have a diary as a kid, and rarely write much, but writing has always been very cathartic when I do do it. I tend to always have words rolling around in my head, and sometimes they simply need to escape. If I have a difficult situation to deal with, typing is my release. I can pour it ALL out, and move on. Maybe I should have had a diary as a kid....or maybe I do now. Time will tell I guess.

Although the idea of writing has always been a very faint glimmer, I have no formal writing education, and probably not even great grammar, haha. Time will tell how this adventure goes. Maybe a creative writing course is in my future, maybe a retirement gig :)

Blogging was never on my radar, but here I am. I have (or will have possibly) a story to tell, and I thought this might serve a dual purpose. One....to allow me a release. Two.....to share my journey.

I'm not going to get into any detail today, as this is just an introduction, but let's say the journey I am contemplating today starts with a simple doctor's appointment. 

More for next time.

And hopefully by next time I'll come come up with a more creative conclusion.......

Peace and love

Barb

Dear Diary #28 - What is Radiation?

Image
 Hey Friends! Apologies for not writing for a while. I've been a bit busy. Work is busy, I'm also working with a few real estate clients, and I'm driving to the city daily for Radiation (fondly known as rads, Jayden thinks this is much cooler).  When I started this blog one of it's main purposes was to share ALL the details in the hopes that if someone went through it, or had a loved one go through it, it would maybe be less scary, or at least they would feel more informed. This post might be a boring one, and a long one by the time I am done, so if you aren't into a long and boring post you should stop here..... I've had a few friends ask me 'what is radiation?' or 'how do they do radiation?'. So here is my long winded, detailed post.  I covered my mapping appointment and my consult appointment with my Radiation Oncologist (who is lovely, by the way) in previous posts. So this is about actual treatment.  The short answer is: -Change into a gown ...

Dear Diary #6 - Let's talk about boobs....

Image
Haha, will the title make the men in my life click on this post first?  It's all you ladies that I want to talk to though!  Let's talk about boobs. And about just being a woman that is getting older.  What kind of messed up things does our body do as we get older? Man, I am only 46, and sometimes my body is just weird already, can't wait to hit my 60's, 70's and older, lol!  We've all seen on social media posts like the photo below. At least, I know I have. But I am healthy, and honestly mostly ignored them. I hadn't seen one for a long time. But...this is way more important information than I ever considered, and I HAVE the warning sign that I admittedly completely ignored.  In the photo below, you'll see the 'sunken nipple'. That is me. Why did I ignore this? How could I possibly not see it was a problem? I think women of all ages are good at ignoring their own things, while looking after everyone else's. I honestly did NOT think this was a...

Dear Diary #5 - Is there a doctor in the house??

Welcome back friends. So today is a day for information. I'll try to give details, but not be too wordy. Am I capable of that? We'll see.....  I maybe should have taken some extra time to process this, but I'm going to write anyway.  Today is a good day. Today is a positive day. Today is a bit overwhelming. Today was my surgical consult with the breast surgeon. I know more than I did yesterday, but don't know nearly enough. Here is what I know.  My cancer is IDC, ER+, PR+, HER2-, Grade 2. Stage is not yet know. Mass size is 21mm x 17mm x 15mm. IDC = Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. (invasive only means that it has grown beyond the duct it started in) ER+ = positive for Estrogen receptors, which means cancer cells grow is response to the hormone estrogen PR+ - positive for Progesterone receptors, which means cancer cells grow in response the hormone progesterone. HER2- = means negative results and cancer cells have normal levels of proteins. GRADE 2 = cancer cells are moderate...
