Thanks, Erin. Never in a million years did I think household purchases would make my top ten for the year...I guess I am easily satisfied. HaHa!

Judy, sadly he doesn't like his photo taken.

Hi Allison, Thank you for your kind words. I often think about the people that have been involved in my care - from the first moment that I visited the doctor until now. I want you to know that I meant to send a note to the staff at The Imaging Center way back when, but it a bit hectic in the weeks that followed my diagnosis. I can't remember all of the names of the wonderful people that were involved in my care, but I want you to know that every moment I spent in the office and on the phone with someone there I felt like I was the only patient that was being seen, like my care was the only thing that mattered to whoever I was talking to - be it the receptionists or the technicians or the doctor. You ALL made the first steps of my journey a little easier. During my ultrasounds and mammogram and biopsy you all took the time to make me feel comfortable, you all put you arms around me when I felt more alone than I ever thought I could and Dr. Weber answered my questions with such honesty - I asked a TON of questions - probably more than he is used to. and Ellen made sure that I was ok enough to leave, I thank her for NOT believing me when I kept saying I was fine. You all have such a difficult job to do - I am grateful for The Imaging Center and for a team of doctors and technicians like all of you. Fondly, Chelsa

Erin & Kathy, Thank you so much for your encouraging words. Renee, Thank you for your prayers. I have 12 more chemo treatments and I will be done at Thanksgiving - a new reason to be thankful this year - then we move on to decide surgery options, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it.
