Hilarious - Dead Fly Art

For my amusement, Berny sent me "Dead Fly Art" today! I am TOTALLY amused!

Thinking of all the people I know on beaches right now, I'll feature this one. See more of them here.

I wonder if the artist used tweezers? I'm grossed out at the thought of positioning them by hand.

Hi Karen!

I thought the dead fly art was positively inspired! It sounds like something we might have dreamed up as kids on the farm!

Thanks for thinking of me! I know you are and appreciate it so much.

We're going to be in Louisville at the end of March. Any chance you might be there at the same time?

I thought they were absolutely hilarious! (but I did have the same thought about not touching the vile things!) How did you ever find that on the internet? It never even occurred to me to look.

The Game As It Was

Breast Cancer (booooo) was the opponent. I hope I won. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2009. I had a sentinel node lumpectomy later that month and on June 10, 2009, I started Chemotherapy followed by radiation treatments - the last one being December 20, 2009.

I thought it was all over. The cancer part seems to be over so far but I hadn't anticipated the awful effects of Arimidex (the aromatase inhibitor/estrogen blocker) that I started taking after chemo. The effects were long lasting and really awful. And then both my shoulders became frozen. I see that frozen shoulder is not uncommon for women who have been through breast cancer treatments but nobody seems to know why. And now I'm on Tamoxifen and there are the side effects from that, which are much milder than I had with Arimidex but at this point I don't know what's caused by either of those drugs or what might be the lingering effects of chemo and radiation. It's a much longer haul than I initially understood.

This blog has been my game's colour commentary starting 6 days before the kick-off of my first chemo treatment. I hope I won. That's the funny thing with cancer, though. You don't know for sure. You just have to be cocky enough to act like you've won.

Everyone who visits here has been on my team (because there's no "I" in "TEAM") and this blog was for them to to follow the game plan and the progress. It turned out it's also been therapy for me and a record of so many details I forget because of the also unanticipated "chemo brain". One thing I know for sure is that I wouldn't have made it through this without my team of family and friends. Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!! We're here. We Might Have WON!!

To learn the details about my particular discovery of my tumour and my diagnosis and treatment, please read this.
