Everyone thanks you for your prayers. When I wrote this article, I didn’t know what kind of cancer I had. It is her 2 new positive. I probably did not spell it right. It’s a very aggressive, fast moving cancer that like to spread through the body.

I have tests and scans to show where it has spread. It is in my bones and liver besides the breast. They are starting me on Chemo Thursday. I’ve had surgery to put in a port for the Chemo and bone biopsy.

We all know cancer isn’t an easy road and I’m here to say. I am going to have a long and hard one. Thank you again for your words of encouragement. It was nice to go to Disneyland during the thanksgiving holidays. I had a fun time together with a couple of my children and their family. Thank you again.

LaRene you are one very strong woman. Whether it is from your life experience or from your natural inner strength doesn’t matter. You have what it takes to beat this.

You attitude of seeking the fun in every day sounds like a wonderful and probably highly effective weapon in your fight.

Power to you.

LaRene,I was thinking about you this morning,so i was please to see an email from you. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I also tend to spend to much time worry about something or thinking about what i need to improve and very little time about having fun. I actually don’t think i know how to have fun. Thank you for reminding me not to only have joy and gratitude in our hearts but to also HAVE FUN!!!
You are a dear friend. My prayers and thoughts are with you. With Love, Stefania

LaRene, thank you for having the courage to share your experiences. I have known some breast cancer survivors and I have to say that they are some of the strongest women I have ever met. They also appreciate life in ways that most of us cannot.

My thoughts will be with you during this difficult time.

First let me say that my heart goes out to you. It is the diagnosis every woman fears, no matter how positive they try to be. What moves me most is your acceptance. Your ability to forgive yourself and loving yourself and the moment. I will definitely stay with you on this journey and I wish you strength and most of all joy.
