OK, you are probably wondering what type of title is this? Let me explain! The last several years of my life have been primarily based all on "FIRSTS", which I certainly never planned on! I am a creature of habit and like things neat and organized! But . . . one day . . . .that changed forever! I heard those words that no woman wants to hear "You have Breast Cancer". Well, I just knew that it could not be true, so this is when the "Firsts" began.
1. First time to go to 4 doctors in one day, trying to convince them that there must be a mistake, that I was right . . after all, I am always right, just ask my Husband!
2. First time to have an Ultrasound and many other Scans, thought I was going to pass out in the "tunnel".
3. First time to have a "biopsy", and sincerely thought this was a real "operation" that I would be put to sleep for . . .so not true!
4. First time to spend a night in the hospital, after all, I kept telling them that I was very healthy.
5. First time to have ANY type of surgery.
6. First time to have to be wheeled into that COLD operating room. I still think they should knock you out PRIOR to taking you in there.
7. First to begin begging for pain Medicine BEFORE the surgery!
8. First to probably be one of the WORST patients ever!
OK, perhaps by now, you might know that I am connected to the Pretty 'n Pink Program! As a past VP of Sales & Mkt. for many years at DecoArt and dealing with this battle, I really wanted to somehow make a difference and help all the others who struggle with this battle. So, I (along with the wonderful people at DecoArt, developed the "Pretty 'n Pink" Paint Program, with a portion of the proceeds going to Breast Cancer Research). Please go to the WebSite and have a look at the products and wonderful projects that you can actually make yourself. And in case you are wondering if there are any additional "Firsts", there is one more extremely embarrassing to admit . . . this is my FIRST Blog!!! God Bless all of you and as my Oncologist always tells me "Keep the Faith".
