Two Boobs, One Fight. Dispatches from a Cancer Journey. January 10, 2017. January 10, 2017. It’s that time again. Well-meaning people are sending messages on Facebook urging their friends to post hearts or their bra color or whatever else in honor of “breast cancer awareness.”. Here’s one I’ve already had sent to me twice this week:. Hello, can you put a. On your wall, without comment, only a heart, then send this message to your female contacts. After putting one.

Why am I Still Crying? | Two Boobs, One Fight
https://twoboobsonefight.wordpress.com/2016/12/13/why-am-i-still-crying
Two Boobs, One Fight. Dispatches from a Cancer Journey. Why am I Still Crying? December 13, 2016. I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore. I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore. When do you think it will all become clear. And I’ll be taken over by the fear. Lily Allen, “The Fear”. So, why did I spend half the drive home crying? I certainly shouldn’t be boo-hooing in the car. I don’t know how to proceed. I’m not sure how to process all of this. I don’t know how to ...There’s a flyer i...

Recovery | Two Boobs, One Fight
https://twoboobsonefight.wordpress.com/2016/12/02/recovery
Two Boobs, One Fight. Dispatches from a Cancer Journey. December 2, 2016. Hospital fashion is seriously hot. So, I am officially post-op. And all things considered, I’m doing pretty well. I came home yesterday after a two-night stay in the hospital. I had a fainting spell that gave everyone a little scare in the hospital, so they decided to keep me an extra night. The drains are gross, but not nearly as bad as I expected. As I told family and friends the news, so many of them exclaimed that I beat cancer...

Feelin’ Myself | Two Boobs, One Fight
https://twoboobsonefight.wordpress.com/2017/01/04/feelin-myself
Two Boobs, One Fight. Dispatches from a Cancer Journey. January 4, 2017. January 4, 2017. I don’t know what it is–maybe it’s the new year–but I’ve been in a mood this week. And that mood has been decidedly good. I’ve really been “feelin’ myself,” as the young folks might say. What exactly does that mean, you might ask? Well, according to the Urban Dictionary:. So, if you see me walking around these days, you might notice I have a little more pep in my step. It’s because it’s 2017, and I&#...So glad to se...

Two Boobs, One Fight. Dispatches from a Cancer Journey. What Not to Say to a Cancer Patient. December 11, 2016. December 12, 2016. I’ve had a lot of time to sit around and think since my surgery. And one of the things that I ponder is all the stupid things I used to say and think about cancer. Here are some of the worst/most common things people have said to me that I would advise people to avoid when interacting with people battling cancer:. 8220;There’s a cure for cancer, but the government/pharm...

Goodbye, Girls | Two Boobs, One Fight
https://twoboobsonefight.wordpress.com/2016/11/28/goodbye-girls
Two Boobs, One Fight. Dispatches from a Cancer Journey. November 28, 2016. November 28, 2016. I was in 4th grade the year I got my first training bra. I scarcely had anything to fill it, but all my friends were getting them, and when you’re on the verge of becoming a teenager (I believe it’s called a “tween” nowadays) and your friends are doing something, you just have to do it, too. So, one Saturday my mom took me to Sears (lingerie and lawnmowers–talk about your one-stop shop! So they must go. I’...

Winks from God | Two Boobs, One Fight
https://twoboobsonefight.wordpress.com/2016/11/09/winks-from-god
Two Boobs, One Fight. Dispatches from a Cancer Journey. November 9, 2016. The other day, my son and I stopped into Starbucks for a little treat. As we settled in at a table outside, a woman seated near us walked over and asked me how I was doing. This might seem a bit odd since I didn’t know her, but I was just wearing a ball cap that day (as I do most weekends), so it was clear I’d lost my hair. I knew she could easily see that I’d been through chemo. I love that. And I also love that there’s ...I’...

We're Only Hsuman…. D’s Birth Story. EK’s Birth Story. J’s Birth Story. J’s Birth Story. Second babies always have a little different story than the first, don’t they? By the time I had shown my papers, checked in, and undressed, it was about 9:30am. When the nurse (sweetest lady) hooked me up to the several machines (including the pitocin drip and contraction counter), she said, “You’re already showing contractions! After prepping me and pushing twice, Joseph was here! Let me do the rest! 3 thoughts on ...
