For those that don't know me (probably most of you), I was diagnosed in January 2009 with DCIS, had a lumpectomy and 27 rad treatments. I lost my job right before the diagnosis but started a new job in June but that involved a move from NV to NM. Well, I haven't been here 90 days but they offered me a temporary (120 day) promotion and I took it. I'm head nurse now and am working 8-5 mon-fri. Quite a change from 12 hour nights. Just to encourage those of you still struggling with the day to day battle with the beast, there is an end.

    Hey Maureen
    Thanks for the encouragement...I work as a homecare nurse and am currently struggling as we speak with the side effects of taxol/herceptin. My legs are killing me. I just took 800mg of ibuprofen so I could get to sleep and hope it works.

    It is a struggle...who ever thought that I would wish for my 50 hour work weeks and all the medicare paperwork just to have everything the way it was...

    Its good to know that life will go on eventually.

    Take care

    Sounds like...
    It sounds like losing your job turned into a blessing with the new one. So glad to hear that good things can be hoped for ahead. It just seems like when your in the middle of treatment that it will go on and on forever, but it really doesn't. Thanks for reminding us the good things that are yet to come! ♥ Pammy

    Congratulations, Maureen, on your new life. What part of New Mexico are you in now? We lived in Ruidoso for about 10 years, and really loved the state. (Just got back from a two week vacation in Ruidoso, and enjoyed every minute we were there.) Life is good, and you have been blessed. Hugs,
