My dear friend Steve (stevenowonder) sent me a message and told me I should listen to this. I did....this is an earth shattering lecture by a man that knew he was going to die from pancreatic cancer. Of course....it hit home with me....it is long, but well worth the listen!





UPDATE JUNE 25TH: I desperately need your prayers right now.
I found out on Monday I may have breast cancer.
I have never been so terrified and worried in my life.
I'm not sure right now how much I will be on here.
Just know that you (my friends) mean the world to me. And if I am gone for a period of time.....you will know why!


UPDATE JULY 21st: I go tomorrow to have the last part of my MRI done.
Won't be long now before I hear something.
This waiting is the hardest part.
I still need prayers....desperately.
Thanks to those of you who have stood beside me through all of this. You'll never know how much it means to me!!!


UPDATE JULY 24TH: I got a call yesterday from my Dr.'s office and they want to see me today. The Radiologist called my Dr. and told him I needed to come in to see him today. I'm terrified right now. I've never been this afraid in my life....and I pray to God it is nothing to worry about....but I have a feeling it is! Still need some prayers.......hugssss


UPDATE JULY 26th: The Dr told me I have inflammatory breast cancer. It is a very rare but aggressive form of cancer. I'm waiting now to see a surgeon, which will probably be Monday or Tuesday. I'm scared beyond anything I can tell any of you. It seems every day the pain level is increasing. At first I didn't even have pain at all. Now....it is starting to hurt really bad. I'm a firm believer in God....he created me....and only HE knows what's in store for me. I'm also a believer in prayer....I've seen it work for many people. So I ask you to please include me in your prayers. If Jesus can walk on water....this is a small feat compared to that!!!!


hugssss......genia


UPDATE AUGUST 2nd:I saw the surgeon this past Tuesday. Instead of having inflammatory breast cancer....I have invasive lobular carcinoma. It is bad enough...but not nearly as bad as the other is. I hate being sick....I hate not knowing what this is going to do to me......I just HATE CANCER PERIOD!!!!!!!


UPDATE AUGUST 14th: I saw another surgeon today for a second opinion. I like him much better than the other one that wanted money upfront before she would do my surgery. I also had a biopsy today to find out what stage and what KIND of cancer this is.
He told me today that NO ONE should have diagnosed this cancer and given a name to it without a biopsy. So....I go see the oncologist Monday....and have my medi port put in for my chemo on Tuesday morning. The chemo should start soon. Please keep me in your prayers. I know God can heal me through the hands of some very competent Dr's.
Love you all.........Genia


UPDATE AUGUST 27th: I had a appointment with my Oncologist today. I was supposed to go on Monday....but I felt horrible and could barely drag myself outta bed, so I rescheduled my appt for today. Yesterday wasn't much better, but then by evening I was feeling a little bit better.
I went to see him today.....again this morning feeling bad again. It was almost more than I could do to even get a shower.
He came in to talk to me....and gave me the results of my brain scan. It was NEGATIVE for cancer THANK GOD!!!! But he is sending me to see a Neurologist. There was some kind of abnormality in the white matter in the front of my brain. I have NO idea what that means and neither did he. He showed me the report and told me that since this wasn't his field he couldn't make heads or tails out of what it was saying. One thing it did say that I understood was that it was indicative of someone who had migraines for years. I don't HAVE migraines.......so I'm not sure what this means. So that bought me a ticket to see the Neurologist at some point in the near future.
He thinks I have an infection in the incision for my chemo port. I thought it was looking ok.......but he didn't think so. He said that could be why I am feeling so crummy for the past 3 days.
So I'm on an antibiotic for 7 days and then he will start the chemo when I'm finished with it!!!
I swear if my body had ONE OUNCE of normal I think I would faint!!!! lolol
So that's my update......no chemo until next week....... Oh yea....the lymph nodes tested positive for cancer too. And he told me that this tumor is being fed by Estrogen and Progesterone. Makes sense to me......I hit menopause and this went haywire!!!! But that's a good thing!!! Because once I'm done with the chemo....they can put me on drugs to deplete the Estrogen and Progesterone so this won't come back again. I will probably turn into the DEVIL WOMAN.....but at least I'll be alive.......lolol

Thanks and hugssssss..........Genia


UPDATE SEPT 4th: Going back today to see the surgeon to get this chemo port checked.
This thing has caused me so many problems since I got it put in. Many women have told me I will be glad once my chemo starts....that I have it...but I'm really wondering right now. Very many sleepless nights since it's been in there. I just can't get comfortable no matter which way I lay.....ugh!!!
I may as well stop complaining...because this is just the beginning of my LONG battle with this horrific disease!!!

Love you all...hugs!!!

Music is one of the most supreme expressions of life. It is art in it’s most transitory form. It is gone within an instant, and therefore, extremely precious.


I have a blog called Mother To An Addict....if any of you would like to visit. I go through periods where I'm too depressed to write....but I try to post something as often as I can.

Hugssssss and thanks for all the nice comments you left for me....words of encouragement......and just an ear to listen when I needed someone to talk to. I really appreciate it all..........

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?"

"Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said.

His mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God.

When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said, "When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue with out complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed.

This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."



From my wonderful friend Steve....thank you....so pretty!!!!
