The Time is Upon Us

Well, it's almost here. I'm both thankful to be getting on with it and apprehensive about what's to come. Thank you SO MUCH to all who have called, emailed, sent cards, visited, or just sent good vibes. You're all so wonderful and I am truly blessed to have each and every one of you in my life. Bill will be updating this blog tomorrow evening with the results of the surgery and node biopsy, so stay tuned.

I would like to make a request. For any of you wanting to do something tangible to show your support, please consider making a donation in my name to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3 Day. My neighbor Arlene, who did the walk last year, signed up again after my diagnosis, and will be walking on my behalf. You can access her donation page at:

I also have two former co-workers who are walking, Colleen and Amanda. You can find their pages at:

Our friend Vaychan, who walked with me back in 2004, joined Bill and I in 2005, and has walked in every San Diego 3-Day since. You can access her page at

Give to one ... give to all four! The cause is obviously important to me but even moreso for my daughters (and yours), in the hopes by the time they are adults breast cancer will be cured.

Thanks again to all of you. Will write more, probably lots more, in the days and weeks to come.
