The Flower Child in Me...

The Flower Child in Me...can't help but dig into some Essential Oils.   With my illness of last year, and now trying to be more "in-tune" with Mom Nature....I've been studying quite a bit about essential oils.... Some things help, some don't.   Some herbs and essential oils are a big no-no for someone like me with Estrogen Positive cancer.....Don't want to feed it.....But there is so much controversy on this subject it will scramble your brain.    So, I won't preach today.....But,  I did want to share 2 products I have personally tried and LOVE.... doTerra Deep Blue Rub, and doTerra Digestzen.....My review is presented in the video below.   Well, "presented" might be a wee bit of a stretch!!    doTerra Review!

Inspirational? Me, Now that's funny...

Some days the most inspirational thing I do, is get out of bed, and that is usually an effort the past six months or so.....But a couple of people have told me that over the past year.   I strongly disagree with them and keep on keeping on.  I was telling someone, at the beginning of the cancer map...you have so many decisions to make you don't really have time to dwell on the negative aspect of things.   For me, I KNEW this was not going to take me out.....That I HAVE to be around to watch my daughter graduate from high school.   That I HAVE to be here to see the future grand babies my son and daughter in love are going to give me....

I went back to work to keep my mind busy as soon as possible (good medicine for me).  I prayed for good results at every step....I think God has a plan for me.   No...

Time Flies.....

Time Flies when you are having fun is the saying.  The past year has been a DOOZY...Is that a real word? Oh well..... On September 2, 2017, I  had a Sentinel Node Biopsy.  Thankfully no cancer cells were found in my lymph nodes. On September 26, 2017 I had a Bi-Lateral Mastectomy with Reconstruction...All went well, I healed a little slower than my impatient self liked, but all went fairly well.  On November 28, 2017 I had a complete Hysterectomy, and they also took my ovaries.   Reason being the genetic mutation I carry Lynch Syndrome PMS2 raises your risk for most below the belt cancers.....So I eliminated about 5 cancers with that surgery....Yay me. On January 2, 2018 - I had my implant switch.   This is where they take the tissue expanders out and replace them with Implants. Fast forward to today.....I'm doing well, tomorrow is my 1 year Survivor check up.....Not exactly sure what that entails, but I'm sure I will find out. I atten...
