I just found your site because I was looking for ways to use plastic bags. Nice ideas.
I am also a breast cancer patient. Almost 10 years. It has been up and down, because I have had metastases and re-occurences of the cancer and therefore surgeries and treatments. But now things are stable. I am one of those they consider incurable but treatable. I am feeling better. I think that the newest treatments worked much better than the older ones. There is exercise and massage that will help with lymphedema. I had to see a physical therapist to get the info on it.
As you know each case is different so just keep informed.
Best wishes for your health.

Hi Cindy,

I came across your website in my search for crochet patterns. I have two things in common with you. One, I too crochet purses with plarn. I have made so many. I decided to try a hat. It is a sun type hat. Kinda cute, I think. The ladies at the Senior Center where I volunteer, love them. I have sold several of my purses, just by word of mouth and site. It is too expensive to rent a space at a craft fair, etc. I started this hobby while home from work. I too was diagnosed with B/C in November of 2007. Just had my follow up mammogram yesterday. All is well. I like your website/blog. I was glad to find it. Take care

Hi, I must tell you that there is hope for a cure. My sister will be a 2 year survivor in August. I spent ten months going to her doctors visit, staying in the hospital with her for every procedure, going to chemo, laughing, joking, teasing, pushing, pulling, and crying (in private). She is doing great now and is back to work. People used to ask how we could joke about it. Well, without a cheerful and positive outlook, she would have died and I wasn’t ready for that. We also have a sister who is a ten year survivor. Breast cancer is in my family, the genes are there. So, breast cancer research is very near and dear to my heart. So keep the faith and think positive thoughts. God bless you. Lady Di

I came across your site I believe it was right at the time you were told of your breast cancer. I blogged about your crocheted clothes pin holder and asked for prayers for you to get through the travel you were to have just to get to the treatment center. I am so happy to read of your journey and that you are making it down the path. Prayer is powerful. :0) Hugs to you, Stephanie Queen of Dreamsz Queen of Dreamsz’s last blog post..The First Spring Pink Saturday for 2009

A year? Wow. What a long strange trip it's been. I'd take advange of your short hair and get a crazy wig. Some style that you've always wanted but couldn't grow/take care of. For me, it would be super long hair or maybe a crazy color like purple. A local newscaster had a bright pink wig she wore at home and to breast cancer events when she was on her pink journey. She had a regular wig for work though. Condo Blues’s last blog post..An Easier Way to Clean with Vinegar
