Meet my amazing nephew Hunter. His entire life he has spent educating us on abilities instead of disabilities. Acceptance vs tolerance. Laughter vs pity. He is now asking for a helping hand and the ability to keep rolling. Please visit and consider. https://www.gofundme.com/comerollwithme

New Year
Tomorrow brings a new year and I am thrilled it has finally arrived. This last year held many joys, many trials and many lessons. 2015 can only hold more lessons and hopefully will be filled with joyful roads to travel. With that I bid farewell to this blog and much of social media. Time to stop reading about life, to stop writing about life. Time to live it and soak in every moment. Thank you for everything. Happy New Year!
The Proud Warrior
It's pretty easy to say, " I'm a cancer survivor. " Aside from the sad, kitty pouty faces one gets, it's almost like wearing a badge of honor. Like a neon sign that follows you saying, "Yeah, I pretty much kick ass." It's one of the perks... Try saying in a body image driven society, "Yup....had my boobs chopped off. Oh and because I'm vain, I'm getting new ones put on....oh and they will be bigger." Not so easy. Or is it? There in lies the question...catch that? It's strange. I've had zero women ask me about my surgery. Every man I know has asked, politely, what I am having done. And I've answered honestly. And they have said, "Good for you." We all are thinking the same thing, but these are sincere comments. Cancer has been whispered for too long. The abuse it has inflicted on all of us has been talked behind closed doors and with tears. Some have even blamed the victim....you eat too much sugar, meat, or smoke.....etc. Its time we stop being the victims and honestly stop blaming the victims. Take ownership, make a difference, fight for knowledge. So I'm wearing my scars and badges (the pair) with pride. And for the record I'm pissed....
Good life
Tonight I ran around the house playing hide and seek. Our son chased me laughing hysterically. We danced to Taylor Swift…..don’t judge. And now….I listen to the sound track of love….snoring lullabies courtesy of husband, pup and child.
Life is good folks. It’s the little things….having lungs that work again, finding the courage to smile, believing the shadows are not thunderclouds…..simply the sun’s drawings.
It wasn’t a fight. It was a test. And I think we passed.

Pump it up!
Today is expansion day.....or as Chris calls it Inflation Day! Every few weeks for the next couple months, I go and have 50-100ccs of saline injected into my fancy expanders. This helps stretch and prepare my skin to accept the implants. By doing this slowly, the skin won't have stretch marks and will stretch naturally....or as natural as possible. Once we get to the desired size (that will be a secret) then I have one more surgery. Easy Peasy! So let's get this party started and pump these babies up!
Much needed sunshine delivered today! #theryansrock #blessedwithfamily
Mentally and emotionally exhausted. Depressed. Anxious. Scared. Alone. These are not the feelings one would expect someone who was given a clean bill of health (and a new pair of boobs) to feel. But I do. All the reading I have done, says this is normal. The tears are normal. The exhaustion…
Love you girl! Hang in there!!!! Have you considered a support group or an exercise program that slowly gets you into strengthening you and feeling better emotionally? Even if it’s a beginning yoga or someone who specialises in after surgery/cancer program. I know it’s too soon, but as soon as you can physically do it, it will help a lot! We love you and wished we were closer to wrap our arms around you for a super huge hug!!! Know you are not alone!
Funny you mention it. I am actually going to meet with my old trainer tomorrow to see what I can start to do. I loved the exercise and miss it. :)
The last 3wks
Mentally and emotionally exhausted. Depressed. Anxious. Scared. Alone. These are not the feelings one would expect someone who was given a clean bill of health (and a new pair of boobs) to feel. But I do. All the reading I have done, says this is normal. The tears are normal. The exhaustion normal. I feel anything but. Pathetic, ungrateful, insecure. More to add to the list. Again....all normal... Since my surgery, there has been physical pain, but it's totally manageable and expected. What I did not expect were the emotional breakdowns that occur every other day. See while everyone is breathing a sigh of relief that the cancer is gone, I'm thinking okay what happens if it decides to pay a visit again? I'm maxed out on radiation and maxed out on two types of chemotherapy.....for life. There is very little left is the medical arsenal to fight this battle again. It's so easy to say don't worry until there is a reason to. I have two very important reasons to worry. One my husband, who doesn't deserve to have to be looking over his wife's shoulder for the rest of his life for her old enemy cancer. He deserves a wife that is filled with laughter, not fear. Second, our son. He deserves his mother to be whole and for a large portion of his life I haven't been. Thank God he won't remember me this way. I never want him to go through this again. So yeah....I worry...I'm scared shitless and I don't know how to fight the unknown. So let's address depression while we are on such an uplifting roll....7% of the nations people suffer from depression of some kind. 25% of all cancer survivors suffer from depression of some type. Now most would think it would be a body issue driven depression. So far that is not the case. I'm stoked to get new and improved tatas. This is a metal/emotional fuckedupness for lack of a better term. My brother equated it to returning home from battle. Cancer Warriors are on the battlefield for a minimum of 6 months. Some for over 10 years. There is no leave from Cancer. So now the battle is over. You come home victorious. People call you brave, courageous, tough. Which to be quite honest is not true. I was drafted....I did not enlist and if there was a Canada in the world of Cancer I would have hightailed it. But the world you return to is different. Cancer has changed you. And everyone except for your battle buddy, in my case my husband, has not changed and their world did not stop while you went through this. So how do you go back? And who are you now? Who are you to them? Who are they to you? So guess what? The battle is not over. I am not victorious yet. Because Cancer is playing one last card. I know I will get through this like everything I do. But for now, I'm going to let it storm a bit in this head and heart of mine. Because frankly, I lost parts of me you can not see...and according to all the articles that I've read....I need to mourn that.
