I've been thinking that I should get to bloggin'. (The purist in me wonders if I should be verbin' like that.) I'd been waiting for the nudge to get me started. Well, I got the nudge. Invasive ductal carcinoma. This is my story about my breast cancer.

Ross,
My love and prayers to you and your family. It is not going to be an easy journey but I am sure you will find it a blessed one. I am sure we are about the same age, 24 here, and I got diagnosed with neuroendocrine carcinoma last october with a rather bleak diagnosis. I am still here, in my eighth round of intensive chemo treatment and have not even lost my hair! I want you to know you have support out there. Check out a website called www.imtooyoungforthis.org for great resources for us young people. Also, if you get a moment, check out my blog at www.caringbridge.org/visit/markuswuollet.
More power to you and spread your love to all you know. We have but a short time here!
Kevyn,
I am so sorry about your diagnosis and upcoming surgery. I have watched one of my sisters and an aunt struggle with cancer over the past few years. There will be ups and downs. I found that their were also extremely meaningful times with my sister and my aunt that were sometimes funny and sometimes sad. I was just glad that I could be a support to both of these important women in my life. I will pray for you and your family that strength and peace become your mainstay.
much love!
Anne

Kevyn: I remember watching you on tv when I was home after having my son. I've followed you through your career and listen to you everyday.You are always so cheerful. As a breast cancer survivor of 7 years, there is light at the end of the tunnel. The first month is horrendous and I recommend taking an advocate with you to all your doctor's appointments because you might not hear what the the doctors say. Take an alternate pain medication other than morphine. I too had a masectomy and reconstruction but chose not to do chemo or radiation. I walked out of the hospital before my roommate who was on morphine was even out of bed after surgery. Even if you don't feel like it get up and move. Life looks brighter standing up. I feel great now. Take care of yourself and let your family take care of you. I'll think of you and say a prayer for you and your family when I cross the Mississippi River to and from work. Hurry back to the radio.
Kevyn,
After what I deemed as a "horrible day", I settled in the bath, along with the fm107 replay of your show and a rather large glass of wine. I listen to your show whenever I can and have come to love your humor on various topics and knew you could brighten my day. The replay was your announcement of your diagnosis. All at once, I knew my petty problems and gripes about work squabbles and traffic jams were nothing. I cried a little because it felt as if a dear friend of mine was telling me the news and because I realized I needed a reality check. I don't know what you are going through because I've never been there, but I want to let you know that my prayers are with you and your family. Even though I was sad, your show that day did brighten my day, as it usually does. Your words of hope and resolve to beat this are an inspiration.
I hope your recovery is speedy and that you will soon be on the air again!
Kerry
