breast cancer
MRIserible
My last post was nearly a month ago. A lot has happened in that month: • Katie went to prom – she looked beautiful. • I went to Connecticut for a long weekend with three of my girlfriends – it was divine. • Taylor got a job at Calvin Klein – not as a male…

A few weeks ago I had a scare of epic proportions. I thought I had lost all my digital photo files from 2004 through 2008. That thought made my stomach hurt and my heart ache and I couldn’t concentrate on anything until my hero husband found them on a back up drive. Oh, how I…

Almost eight years ago I received a phone call from Diane, the sister of my very best childhood friend, Cindy. She called to tell me that Cindy had been diagnosed with breast cancer. I fell apart. I’d never had a close friend with such a horrid disease and for it to be this woman who had…
Read MoreIAATB, Part III
I don’t know about you, but I am more than ready to get this over with. I just want to move on with my life. So without further ado, I give you… The day after Mother’s Day/Race for the Cure day I had my first routine breast MRI. My first MRI of any body part…
Read MoreIAATB – Part II (And An Apology)
First the apology. I’m sorry. I know there are several of you whose lives revolve around this blog and I’ve gone over a month – a whole, long month – without blogging at all, the longest I’ve ever gone. And after I promised to endeavor to attempt to try to do better. I will make…
Read MoreIt’s All About The Boobs – Part I
I know, I know. It’s been two weeks since I tantalized you with the promise of three boob stories. Sorry to leave you hanging. [*snort* That made me think of the old song I used to sing to my mom, “Do your boobs hang low…” But I digress.] Without further ado, here is part one…
Read MoreIAATB – A Trilogy

Read MoreFive Years Ago Today…
Five years ago today I had the life-saving surgery to remove the cancerous tumor from my body. Not only was the malignancy removed, my entire left breast was removed. Five years ago today I had a huge incision across the concave side of my chest and a drainage tube at each end. Of course, five…
Read MoreHidey Ho, There!
Let me reintroduce myself since it’s been so long. My name is Jenster and I write this blog about nothing. Nice to be reconnected. So much for the old, “I’m going to write a post at least once a week”, blabber. I knew I should have said once a month. I have so much to…
Read MoreI’m So Lame
You may or may not recall the goal I had set for myself back in January. Not a resolution for the new year. Homie don’t play that. But I did make a goal to write on this blog and my Trippin’ Through The Bible blog at least once a week. I did really well for…
