When Cancer Strikes Again

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 23:19:00 +0000

Over dinner last night, my husband was unable to hold a sad news much longer, that he had to sprung it on me. One of his colleagues at work whose cancer has been on remission for almost ten years is once again facing the dreaded disease. Her breast cancer is back and there is no [...]

One Week Down, Five Months Three Weeks To Go

Fri, 21 May 2010 22:23:04 +0000

It’s been a week since my husband’s surgery, and I’m so glad that he is doing alright. A week of eating only soft foods is surely taking a toll on him and it does show. He thinks he is losing weight. For a foodie like him, this is punishment!

A year ago, I have written about [...]

After days of being “out of commission” brought about by my minor mishap at home, I’m back! What better way to start updating this blog than watch the videos of the winners of the recently concluded iLASIK Video [...]

Multitasking On Thursday

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 16:01:21 +0000

I’m still on pins and needles. With my scheduled visit to the Oncologist (I’m seeing one to closely monitor benign fibrocystic breast) tomorrow, can you blame me?

I’m hoping to have a good, restful sleep tonight, but as it has been in the past I barely have a decent shut eye the night before. I should [...]

Best Gyno Visit Ever

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:31:45 +0000

Absolute luck!!!! That is how I felt two days ago when I finally got a slot to see my Gyno. And I guess, luck was on my side because the Doctor’s visit yesterday was a record breaking NO WAITING kind of visit.

I signed on and I was just walking back to settle in the reception [...]

Nasty Weather Begone

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 05:49:13 +0000

Yesterday, I have postponed my last Doctor’s appointment for the year for a good reason. I waited till the last minute to call it off as I somehow hoped the weatherman was wrong with the forecast once again but no, he hit the nail right on the head this time. I should have known, because [...]

A Great Initiative

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:06:49 +0000

October is breast cancer awareness month. That’s why the Cyro-Cell Breast Cancer Donation initiative is underway. It’s one of those initiatives that is close to my heart, largely due to the fact that I have just lost my best friend to breast cancer last year. Further, I’m also being closely monitored for benign calcifications. [...]
