- Gave birth to another beautiful boy, Colton, without having to deal with cancer.
- Recognized an unmet medical need in regards to breastfeeding and medications.
- Cheekbone tumor does not affect blood vessels or arteries.
- GlaxoSmithKline, my employer, submitted Votrient to the FDA for sarcoma on June 28th.
- I have received countless emails, cards, Facebook posts, phone calls, dinners and more from all the people who are supporting me and my family through this fight (This started at this point, but continues!).
- Was not hospitalized for a lung blood clot, which is not typical. Received outpatient treatment instead.
- Met a wonderful woman, Liza Longo, at Pennsylvania Hospital who is also going through the cancer experience. We are similar in many respects and are able to share and understand the issues in fighting cancer!
- Received numerous support from GlaxoSmithKline.
- Had a wonderful first chemotherapy treatment and had little side-effects.
- Blood tested wonderfully after 10 days from the first treatment, which completely amazed the doctor! No longer had to take antibiotics to protect myself from infection.
- Enjoying life, family, and friends!

Welcome to my blog! I want to share information and experiences that I am having while fighting cancer. Not only do I want my supporters to have updates from me, but I want to make this therapeutic for myself. I'm insistent on being positive during my journey to health, but there are obstacles and moments of sadness. I will be raw and extremely truthful; expect the good, bad, and ugly!
Feel free to comment on anything. Perhaps we will all learn new things, including me, while climbing up the positivity ladder to health!

Tracking Positivity!
I'm tracking all of the positive things that have occurred before, during, and after my official diagnosis of Ewing's Sarcoma. These are items that have enhanced my perspective on things and they are roughly in order of occurrence.
