Any Texas Hill Country BC Warriors?

Hi All!

I was asked to do an interview about MBC for a company celebrating BC Awareness. I have update my blog with the link to the interview, along with a link to a song every BC patient should hear! It is exactly what we all go through. It's call Pink by Dolly Parton.

Check it out! Whoops! I Did It Again = My journey with metastatic breast cancer

Oh Vicki!!!

That is really just the news I needed, too! yay!!yay!!yay!!yay!!yay!!yay!!yay!!yay!!yay!!yay!!yay!!yay!!

Still kipping all my digits twisted like pretzels for your continued health improvement.

Makes my heart so happy!

If you haven't heard this, give it a listen. Exactly what we all go through! Also, my interview regarding my journey with breast cancer.

Hi everyone,

Sorry I didn't get cards out this year. Unfortunately, one of my very best friends, the person I considered my brother, passed away on the 2nd, and I just got back from California after his services and packing his apartment.

I hope you are all doing well, and taking good care of yourselves.

May this year end on a happy note, and next year bring you peace and love.

I want to also extend an invitation to anyone that needs help with their "getting your sh*t together" items, like basic wills, medical directives, decisions about services, information your loved ones need, etc. I've become an end of life doula, as this has always been a big thing for me, and I am happy to guide you through some basics for free. There are so many things you don't always think about, and not being prepared is torture for those you leave behind. This goes for anyone over the age of 18, not just those of us that have or are experiencing a serious illness. Each day is a gift. Allow your loved ones the gift of your thoughtful preparation. And allow yourself to have your last moments be what you want them to be like, as much as possible.

love you all-

jeni

Hello all,

Please keep Vicki and her family in your thoughts. She is moving away from us.

I will keep you informed as the family allows.

Love you, and take good care of yourselves.

Such sad news! Vicki and family are in my prayers. Thanks for keeping us informed.

Hello everyone,

Vicki's family has allowed me to convey their thanks for everyone's love and support of her, and to announce that she left her body at 1951cst on 2/25/22.

I was able to be her EOL doula, and her last 2 days were spent with her family surrounding her. I was privileged to be there with them, and help them with her care.

She loved her friends here, and all of the help and support she received.

I know they are having a family- only memorial, and am unsure of any formal announcements or tributes, but will post them if there are any.

If you would like to send a card or anything to family, I am happy to give you my address to send it to, and will be taking things over as they may come in.

She was surely one of my favorite people. Funny, boisterous, smart, talented, and kind. One of a kind, indeed.

I will miss my friend, and admire her tenacity and zest for life for as long as I live.

Please think of her family as they grieve, and take care of yourself as you do, too.

Stay strong, sisters.

Jeni

Thank you for being their for Vicki and her family I know it must have been so difficult for you but gave them great comfort. I am still in a bit of a shock - she was my ILC “sister” and was so incredibly loving, supportive & always optimistic. It is truly a very sad day. 😢💔 candy

JWoo - my sympathy for Vicki's transition and my condolences for her family. AND FOR YOU!!

Thank you for sharing & for agreeing to take care of any BCO notices. I don't post often here, but I do watch regularly since I am in Texas and Houston never got a group together. I always thought I'd get to drive out & meet you all. ( or y'all). She was a lovely ladey.

Jeni, thank you for your caring, and for keeping us informed. You have been a blessing to her family.

Holli- so good to hear from you I've been wondering how you have been. Please catch us up?

Minustwo, thank you, and good to hear from you here. Hopefully soon we can get together, and maybe we can meet you closer to Houston.

Hope everyone is doing okay and enjoying this spring-ish weather we are having. I hope it sticks around for a while!

Candy- please let us know you are okay as Ian makes it's way across Florida.

Sending you all love.

Hey all! I'm doing okay. Struggled with heart,lung, and bone issues in 2021 (all post treatment related)... but everything is "stable" now. Getting chest scans every 3 to 6 months depending. Next ones in December.

Praying for everyone in Florida.

Jen- do you have my personal info/email? I'd love to share if you do not.

Hi ladies…..

Sure miss being able to meet up with you ladies. All is well with us. We did not sustain a lot of damage from hurricane as we are 10 miles inland from downtown naples & Gulf.
Think of you all often. Came across these photos- 1st meet up in Salado just days after my diagnosis. I will always remember your kindness & reassurance that I would get through it all.
love you ladies, Candy

Have y'all meet up recently? Just wanted to pop on. My recent visit to MDANDERSON this week turned up a couple of surprises. I'll find out more on Monday ( because apparently Fridays don't count as "real" work days anymore)... but it looks like I have some biopsies in my very near
