Rose Norton friends and family are uniting to raise money to help with her battle against Uterine Cancer. Please show your support.!!!

Rose just found out she has stage3 Uterine Cancer. She does have some health insurance but it will not cover all of her expenses for medical and Chemo. She will be out of work without pay for about 6 weeks best case. As long as they do not find any more Cancer. We are asking for donations this will  help her with expenenses. No amount is to small!

LOVE, LAUGHTER, BLESSINGS, AND GOOD-BYES AFTER THE ROLLER COASTER!!

Hello everyone, I know it has been forever since I have posted here a lot has happened in the last few months..

2012 was a Roller Coaster of a year both great and very sad as well.

By Dec 30th of 2012 I lost 6 friends to Cancer I would like to list their names now I ask as you read each one to just take a moment of silence, to pray and be grateful for all the loved ones you have still as well as those who souls have passed.

Toni, Carol, Ila, Priscilla, Jean and Annette. You all touched my life in different ways, I will remember your smiles, hugs, laughter and love. 

Your soul's  shine bright forever in my heart and thoughts. I am blessed to have known you, for what you stood for, most of all what you taught me that laughter even in the toughest of times is a choice we ALL have and not to wait for life to happen, go out and make it happen :) Miss you all...Until we meet again..

Wheww had to get that out..Now that we have their light on us, let's get to the rest of the year..

The girl's are GREAT My oldest is graduating High School this year and taking college course's as well could not be more proud!! 

She is this June while I have struggled with this, the best I can do is let go and let her go to the college of her choice which is out of state, I know she will go GREAT things with her Life..Watching her grow from a baby to a young woman with beauty, brains and common sense there are no words..Just pure JOY! Making every moment count, they go by way too fast! 

My baby (not a baby ya know what I mean:) is also doing very well great grades, Glee club and LOVES One Direction..Happy Teen she is my Lil LOVE So glad we have a few more years together before she goes off to College as well..

My girl's have always been my best motivation and deserve the best that life has too offer..

Myself I am going on 2 years cancer free Jan 24th :) I have to see my Oncologist every 6 months for a few years, okay by me he is a GREAT one!! 
On all levels I am forever Humbled and Grateful..

Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but Stitches and Scars will FOREVER change me!

Well here we are at the final end of the Coaster, with the surgery over with had the tissue ex pander removed with an implant replacement and my right was revised as well, I still have the stitches they are small, my plastic surgeon is wonderful the scars will fade beautifully in time. Yet, after such a disaster (DAMN this GOOGLE CHROME go spell check yourself ANNOYING, yea I got that one right). 
I am having to use the TAO and bandage myself everyday till Tuesday when the stitches come out..It is hard to do, I feel the stitches over my hands it is like touching the thorns on a rose (no they don't cut my fingers) just my heart..will be nice to trade in the bandages for a bra...I am blessed to have made the choice to get breast's back..Yet the relationship is so different, still such a detachment..


When the first ones tried to kill me..So much has changed in such a short time, like my body has gone through so many costume changes, and with each one I did have to play such a different role, now this one is not going to change..Who, What, Where, Why and HOW? 


Time what is it really? The sun rises, sets, we set our clock to wake, work, sleep..Dates to keep track of Birth, times, and then our physical death..In that short dash is our life..So even if we lived to be 100 in the relevance of time or lack there of..Speaking of Eternity wise then even at that age we are still very, very young..But because our physical bodies show signs of death by aging we as humans are taught to gauge time by that and that alone..TO me no matter what age we die at still is not enough TIME to do ALL we want to do..or really meant to do..


Death is a needed event..Cancer is caused by our cells not dying and multiplying..invading precious organs required to survive..We need our soldiers to be the chemo in the event when invaders threaten our safety and ensure our survival as a country..The fact is no one gets out alive, it is who can live the longest, and have the interesting death story..I mean really who wants to go through hell and back to die from like a fire ant bite or something..( I am very allergic to them) so after all of this, that would suck..(this does not have to make sense) where I am at in my thought process..


I just know that my time is so precious, I have a second chance at life and want to take it by both hands..I just have to find that place and I am almost there..


Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but Stitches and Scars will forever change me..


Reminders of the journey of not knowing, to the hug I gave my girl's after my diagnosis the feeling that I still get with each one because I make them count. 


Each birthday is precious without a doubt, seeing the sun, feeling the wind, tasting the rain..


Helps to lessen the pain, to find what is real what really matters..

Cause in an instant it can be shattered, like glass cutting into the soul, tears are the blood the soul cries out, leaving in it's place scars from the surgeons knife, who's gift was to save my life. 


To cut the cancer out, and release my soul to serve my purpose for this life..Blessed be the scars, that forever changed me, who ever that is no longer matters, each day I choose to be whom ever and not ask why, I am finally free to FLY! 

The butterfly is complete...

 Hi everyone, had my final surgery for my breast reconstruction yesterday. Had to be at the hospital at 5:45am UGGHH I know..LOL. Of course the arm (my right side) can no longer have IVs, blood pressure cuff as well as blood draws..due to all my lymph nodes taken out, so I was a hard stick the IV had to go in my wrist on my left arm all I have to say is thank goodness for lido-cane!! 


The the gorgeous anesthesiologist came by to discuss everything..He is just so HOT!! Hey whatever gets me through huh? LOL Dr. E marked me all up, gave me the good drugs to relax me (wouldn't let me take any of it home though :) Then I got in the OR put the mask over my face and then Dr. Hottie  put me to sleep..


Woke up in recovery not to much pain there, did give me pain med in my IV so that helped. Surgery was about 3 hours, amazing how nice it was to wake up with the tissue expander gone  (no wonder I was so grumpy) it was as hard as a baseball and painful at times.That alone was a relief and he lifted my right side as well he fixed my "dog ears" which was the little flaps of skin from the tummy tuck on each side of my hips were poking out just annoying and ugly so he fixed that.. 


This surgery was so much easier then the last one, I am very sore, especially on my left side I can feel that side, where my right is not too bad still numb from the previous surgeries..Cannot shower or take off my bandages until tomorrow so I cannot wait to see the final results (it will take a few weeks for everything to settle.. So, happy that it is OVER..That I could get this reconstruction that a lot of women cannot get (if they do not have insurance) it is very expensive..Please click on the link on my blog page upper right hand corner that reads " Help women get the breast reconstruction they deserve" It is "My Hope Chest" helping women through donations to get the reconstruction they need to help put cancer behind them. It does help so much to have breast back that won't kill ya :) It is bringing awareness to people that think money with other groups helps with that and it DOES not! Thank you Dr. Egozi and his wonderful staff giving me back my balance in life. Your gift is amazing, I am so grateful to have this done. 

" When you are grateful, you cannot be hateful" it is a choice..Thanks for reading :)
