Hello everyone. Just wanted to give an update on my status.  Last week I had chemo #2 and then took the neulasta shot the next day.  For the first two days I was sick and crying but then, miraculously, I felt so good that I actually didn't need any anti-nausea pills or any vicadin.  I've been off both for 3 days and am feeling... Read moreChevron

Mental Toughness!

After being an athlete my whole life as well as coaching for many years,  I have been taught the importance of mental toughness.  When I began my journey through breast cancer 9 months ago, I finally learned the importance of mental toughness!  It is measured in one's spirit and soul rather than their muscles!
