Hello dear friends! I hope you are having a wonderful Friday ... yayyy .. the weekend is here!
I have a bit of news to share with you, something that I've been debating about, but decided that it's a good thing to share to raise awareness and give love and support to those who have Breast Cancer. I have recently been diagnosed as having Breast Cancer earlier this week. There are more tests to be done to see if it has spread, since some were in my lymph nodes.
Yes, this news is very confusing for me and most of the time I am okay, but there are times when I just break down. I think once I finish all the other testing and know what treatments I have to do .. I'll be okay .. I just want to get everything going so that I can fight my way back to becoming cancer free.
It's funny how a bit of this news will make you look at everything differently. Make you look at things a lot closer. I will always appreciate every single second of every single day, I look at other people and wonder what their hardships are in life and think, "May God be with them every single step of the way." And I know that I will love with more than my entire being! :)
The hardest part for me is looking at my little 4 year old son. He is the love of my life, my sun, my stars, my everything. I get scared thinking of everything, but then I pull it together for awhile and think, "I just wanna get this over with! I wanna be GREAT again!!!"
I found the lumps of mine by accident in the shower. I wasn't looking for anything, but my fingertip accidently felt a bump as I was rinsing off. So ladies, please ... when you're in the shower ... routinely check yourself and get familiar with what your skin/bodies look and feel like.
I received a bag full of info, along with this beautiful hand quilted pink/green blanket at the doctors. Along with it came a pink/white "Heal" teddy bear .. which of course has been taken lovingly by my little boy. hehe! :)
Also, if you know of any success/survivor stories, I'd love for you to share them with me ... as I find it uplifting. Here's my email addy so you can share it privately with me: happy2bamom@cox.net
Thank you so much for reading this long post and I know you are right here with me. :) I hope you will understand that for a while I may not be posting comments on your sweet blogs as I will feel okay for a minute, then exhausted the next .. and I've got a lot of information to read up on in those books! Whew! :)
May the Best of your Todays ... be the Worst of your Tomorrows,
Elise

Oh nuts!! I am sorry that this is happening to you, but happy that you have noticed it and gotten doctors attention so rapidly. Thinkin' the rest of this will come in the form of an email!! Bohdi, give mommy back her bear!!
Oh Elise, I'm at a loss for words. Flooded with tears, tissues piling up. I'm in shock. You are too young!!! I cannot imagine what you must be going through. Every prayer and every thought is with you for a swift recovery and the strength to continue fighting. I know there are many ladies out there that have gone and are experiencing exactly the same. Asking for uplifting stories is a great way to stay positive.
If you need anything, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. I'm sending you HUGE cyber hugs with Patricia and the rest of us girls at TBS DT.

Oh, Elise, I hope that you will go through this with a lot of energy and desire to heal, and that you will heal quickly! May the thought of your child be a sign of hope rather than fear: you will go through it for him!
dear elise
sorry to hear about your news my mum had her's about 20 years ago and although she was 58 she survied she had a very positve way, now she has alzheimers, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Hi Elise
I don't know you but I sit here with tears in my eyes having just read not only your story but also the one that Jacque aka Jacque's Joie de Vivre has posted too. I wish you all the best through whatever treatment it takes for you to kick this dreadful disease. Having had cervical cancer at 27 I do know a little of how scared and confused you feel but always remember the ones you love are with you every step of the way including your young son who will keep your spirits raised (my youngest of my 4 children was just 18 months old when I was diagnosed and is now a strapping 16 year old).
Take care.
Kim xXx

My godmother is a breast cancer survivor and I hope that you will be able to beat this just like she did! Thank you for sharing your story to spread awareness! That was SO brave of you!
Dear Elise, I heard the sad news from my dear friend Jacque that you were diagnosed with breast cancer. My thoughts and prayers are with you. What I have learned from Jacque is that if you stay positive and keep a smile in your heart you can get through anything. I can't wait for the day that you tell us you are cancer free!!

Hi Elise, I followed Jacque's invitation to stop by your blog and give you my support. Your decision to share this news is truly appreciated, as a perfect reminder for all of us of the fragility of life. As part of my DT duty on a friendship theme, I have just prepared a text and a card that will appear on my blog tomorrow, with the intention of bringing awareness about feminine cancers during this month, I will amend it and include your name (link) alongside Jacque's. I believe support and friendships are priorities in our every day life, but when it comes to embracing a difficult journey such as yours, it takes an even greater place in ones life. Hugs and prayers to you.

Elise I am so sorry to hear your news.
As I've not been through anything like this I can only imagine how you and your family are feeling - I'm finding it very hard to write the right words and keep deleting bits I've written as they seem 'wrong'. I s'pose I just want to say I'm thinking of you.
Thank you so much for the reminder to 'check', I do when I remember but I promise to remember more often now.
Love, hugs and positive vibes to you...
Carol x
Dear Elsie,
I am visiting from Jacque Beddingfield's blog. She told us about you.
I just want you to know that I will now have you in my prayers for a full recovery and be thinking of you daily as you go through what ever treatments are made for you.
A positive attitude is half the battle - so keep up the good thoughts and be very brave. I am sure that the love of your son will also help you :o)
Thank you for sharing your story. There are thousands of women who still don't check themselves. I am sure that coming forward with your story will help so many of them.
Big big hugs - Candy
Elise, I heard about your news from Jacque's blog. I am sending you a cyber hug and thoughts and prayer's for a full recovery.

Hello. I know you have never heard from me before, but I just wanted to pop by to offer my support. I am an avid crafter that came upon Jacque's site by way of Magnolia obsession, and have been following her and her story all along. She has asked her followers to drop you a line. I want to wish you the best of health, happiness and love. I wish there is more that I could do for you....Just wanted you to know there is another person out there thinking of you tonight.
Jacque sent me over to wish you well. I will pray for your care and recovery to be speedy and complete. Good luck and God bless you.
Elsie, just read your story (after coming over from Jacque's) I'm sure that you are in shock right now. But you're right, when you know what options are available to you, once you decide (along with your family) on a course of action you are going to be FINE! My cousin was diagnosed with Breast Cancer over 20 years ago. She is fine and a Grandma! She was also young when she found a lump. It's ok to cry, as long as you follow that with smiles and happiness. Hang in there and KNOW that you WILL WIN! We'll all be thinking of you,

Hiya Elise,I am Casper pleased to meet you! Jaques sent me
You are a one of a group of very special ladies - I call us SURVIVORS. You Will get through this!
If anyone doubts comment about cancer knowing no age boundaries - Then believe me it does not discriminate with age - I was 34 !
This is a great time & a great blog to open people up to dangers of thinking there are too young.
Yes this is heavy stuff,blogs are for fun & hobbies.I am very new to blogging but I see it as a community of people in a support system.
I had 2 mastectomies one elective,complications,both ovaries removed.Miss the babies I could have had.
Sadness is a very big part of life.
But LIFE means survival.
Girls check & keep checking your lady bits,I was lucky I found my lump it was classed as a subtle tumour.Took my GP a while to understand but I got refered to the Hospital Breast care unit.
I have a card that I have just designed "Marching for Survival"
"For you my Sisters"
When we all band together,
We march forward for our Sisters,
All women are our Sisters,
Sisters band together,Today
Sisters stand side by side in hope & strength.
Radiate your love & hope like Rainbows to colour our Sisters lives with light & hope.
Show & give strength in numbers.
Make a difference to a " Woman" make her smile through her hidden tears.
Offer a moment in time
One moment is all it takes to change a woman.

I NEVER USUALLY WRITE POETRY ON THE SPOT BUT THE SUBJECT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART.

Hi Elise
I came over here from Jacqu's blog and when I first saw your blog is "hey I know you, are you one of my blog followers when I am so new to blogging, challenges and crafting and I felt so encouraged.
I am so sorry to hear of your illness, breast cancer is something close to my heart, one of my very closed friends had breast cancer and I together with another of our friend were with her at the doctor when he broke the news to her. We held her hands till her hubby joined her and it was heartbreaking, nerve wrecking sitting there at the doctor absorbing the news and trying to make something out of it. My friend went through surgery, had chemo then radiation and has been cancer free since, thank GOD.
My prayers and thoughts and well wishes are with you Elise as you battle this and trust in GOD that you will win the battle come out of it stronger and more beautiful than before.
Take care and big hugs Elsie :-)
Hi Elise, I have just been on Jacques blog and read about you, I am sorry you have to bear this,it must have been a mighty blow. Take heart from the MANY, MANY survivors. Leaving big hugs for you and will send a prayer up too.Take care, Janette.xxxxxxxx

Praying for you in this journey of healing. What a blessing that you found that lump! Hugs to you and my prayers too.
Elise,
Just came from Jacque's blog to send you some love and to let you know that I will be praying for you. My Mom had breast cancer some 21 years ago and lst month we celebrated her 68th birthday. Here's hoping this will be your story too.
Huge Hugs

Hi Elise, I followed Jacque's invitation to stop by your blog and let some words for you. Your decision to share this news is truly appreciated, even because all of us, cardmakers have a lot in common.
I only want to tell you that the most important for you now is to believe!! You have an adorable son, a family and they´ll not leave you alone.
Sometimes we meet those "stones" in our lives, it´s up to us how we will send them away. And... please, be strong, believe in God, follow the doc instructions and everything will be well. I´m very sure!!
I don´t know you and this is the first time I visit your blog and I´m very far from you (I´m from Belo Horizonte, Brasil) but... be sure that you and all your family will be in my prayers.
Love and hugs
Regina
Dear Elise, I have accepted Jacque's invitation to visit your blog and offer my support. I want to commend you for going public. I followed my friend Jacque's journey and I will follow yours.

I'm sending BIG HUGS your way!!!
I just hopped over here from Jacque's blog, and I hope you can take some comfort in knowing there are many, many women out there in cyber world wishing you all the best, and that you beat this cancer quickly!! I have 2 little boys (8 and 5), and had quite a scare myself during my very first mammogram appt! I had to go back several times, and have an ultrasound, etc. I'm just glad you caught it early, so you can fight it hard!! Hugs to you!!!

Dear Elise, I was moved to tears by your entry. I have raised my children and have grandchildren who are the age of your little boy - I have had much time in life to enjoy these things and I pray with all my heart that you will have that same time with your child and his children. I have followed Jacque's blog this past year - she has been an inspiration to myself and many others. Know that there are many out here whose lives you have touched and we will all be here cheering you on your pink journey until you cross the finish line, fists pumping in the air and screaming "I did it!! I did it!!" And you will..........
Many hugs,
Deb T. xoxo

Hello my Sunshine! This news really SUCKS! I am still in total shock and can't seem to stop my blubbering. You know what a blubber head I am. Sean gave me his best and all time favorite remedy and ordered me into a hot bubble bath. Didn't work I blubbered in there as well. Oh my love I wish I was there right now with you to hold your hand and hold you with my loving embrace. Close your eyes and image it and hopefully you will feel it cause it's that strong!!!! I love you so much and I am here for you!!!
Love Bonnie
Elise, I posted Jacques story on my blog with your link and a follower of mine responded......She wanted me to pass this to you as she could not get thru:
I tried to give a sweet hello to Elise from Ukraine, but I do not know why - I was not able(((
But I'd like to tell - NEVER GIVE UP!!!! And the problem of cancer is on the upward curve in Ukraine(((( But I know a Girl - a mother of a 6 year old boy and a wife and a great personallity I have ever met who conquered it! And she proved - it is possible (she had skin cancer - which seems to be the most dangerous)!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is with her family now - though I think she had it all - all the the horrors possible! But she is so optimistic that she survived!!!!!!!!!
The BEST WISHES TO ELISE from Ukraine!
Lots of Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take Care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is her blog: http://mariaduka-lemonade.blogspot.com/
Now it's my turn. Your story brought tears to my eyes. I have 3 children (9, 3 & 7 months) and they too, are my sun & moon and stars! I get frightened thinking of ever leaving them and I DON"T have cancer. I AM NOT going thru what you are going thru, however, did find a lump a few years back and went for a mammogram only to be told there was nothing there. That was a scary time, so I know that feeling, but can't honestly say I know how you are feeling now.You are strong for sharing your story & sharing your enlightenment! I wish you the best of luck & a long life full of love and laughter! Take Care.
YOU are amazing, honey. I have been thinking about you so much and I want you to know what an amazing inspiration you are. Love you
Dear Elise, I have had 3 friends who have had breast cancer - and ALL of them are now OK! Yes they had to go through some nasty treatments - but they got through and now have a new outlook on life and their future with their families. Breast cancer CAN be beaten - and positive thinking is a HUGE part of that!
I also have another friend who lost her mother to this disease and carries the gene - she had a double mastectomy to avoid it and you'd never know!
You are sooo brave to share your story - now take the strength all your friends in blogland are sending you and use it!
Wishing you ALL the VERY best.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Came over here from Debbie Pamment's blog.
I'd like to share a story with you.
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer almost 20 years ago.
Today, she is cancer free. No recurrence of that cancer in 20 years. Yes, it was emotionally difficult for all of us, and I'm sure worse for her when she was diagnosed....but there IS hope. My mom is proof of that.
Dearest Elise,
I stopped by your blog to say thank you and I wanted you to know that I had received my new BW stamp. Now I'm all upset because I can't find the right words to express my feelings.
Please know that you and your family are in my heart and prayers and I'm praying you to get through this.
(((((((((((HUGE HUG)))))))))))))))

Hi Elise! We've never met but I found out about your diagnosis through Shirley. Be strong and know that you have tons of friends (and new friends!) who'll be here to support you. You're going to beat this! I just know it!
Healing hugs, Donna
Hi Elise, you don't know me, I stumbled across your story while participating in a blog hop. Although, I personally have not been affected by cancer, my cousin has and she fought long and hard and finally beat breast cancer. She has been cancer free for over 5 years and kept up the fight for her family (husband and four children) as well as herself. When our Aunt was stricken with lung cancer, her advice was to keep fighting and have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE! She said attitude is very important! My prayers go out to you and your family and I will check back periodically to see if you have posted anything! Good Luck with your fight! Miranda
