When I was pregnant with my son (8 years ago), I started having seizures for no apparent reason. I had a CT scan that showed nothing out of the ordinary. After he was born, I was able to have an MRI which showed a brain tumor. We went through a few scary days. The tumor is benign. Per protocol, I had repeat MRIs every 6 months, then year, now every 5 years. Each MRI is a reminder to me of how fortunate I am and that not everyone receives the news that includes the lovely word "BENIGN". Congratulations to you!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768542535821086956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18299306.post-69954825050415029892011-04-27T14:50:51.747-06:002011-04-27T14:50:51.747-06:00MEREDITH!

I am rejoicing with you, Mer, that you are not facing cancer. and relieved. I love that you will love pink now. It is important to remember what we learn during these times. I went through a scare of another girlie cancer years ago, and I remember being thankful and tearful that I got to do the little things--like pick the kids up from school, etc. <br /><br />I also loved your encouragement to "see" people--cause you never know who needs a smile or kind word--you never know what they are carrying...such a good reminder.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm thankful for you and with you today!

I get very pissy and just want to sleep when I'm waiting on those kind of things, which I've done way too many times over the past 9 years.<br /><br />And I must say, I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices more bald women and thinks it's some kind of coincidence or message from God headed my way.<br /><br />Congratulations to you! I hope you have a very blessed Easter weekend with your family.OhioFamOf4https://www.blogger.com/profile/03306437309657338988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18299306.post-65123268996820891672011-04-21T16:06:37.643-06:002011-04-21T16:06:37.643-06:00Praising God!

I am so thankful for my health and then I remember there are women my age and younger who have or who have died from breast cancer and I am grateful.

Obviously I didn't know what was going on, but I have thought of you and hoped you were doing well. I am so thankful for your good news! I know we all know women whose lives have been changed by breast cancer. They are a great reason to wear pink with pride (even if it's not our favorite color)!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06638623959806383338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18299306.post-57910934728241189982011-04-21T14:30:15.950-06:002011-04-21T14:30:15.950-06:00So thankful for your wonderful news!

I just wrote a reminder note to call in the morning for an appointment for my mammogram. I sent prayers of thanks up on your behalf. I am like you though when I see someone in the midst of cancer. My heart goes out to them - I can't imagine what they're going thru. We truly take good health for granted. <br /><br />Karen in MDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
