About Lillet

Lillet: Female

About Me:: I was in an Ocean City, NJ bookstore June 17th when I picked up a copy of Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips. I was waiting for test results to determine if I had cancer, so I was afraid if I bought the book it would "jinx" me. On July 7th I had a needle biopsy, July 14th my breast surgeon told me I had invasive ductal carcinoma. I immediately went to Amazon.com and ordered the book! And so the roller coaster ride begins.....
I am the mother of a 15 year old girl and a 17 year old boy. We live in a quaint small town across the river from Philadelphia, where I work.
I have always been interested in how food intake affects our bodies. There was so much conflicting information out there that I decided to study the science of nutrition and became a dietitian. Later I went to culinary school and became a chef.
I am so glad I noticed Kris Carr's book that day in Ocean City, otherwise I may never have discovered this site and the wealth of information and fearless women I have found here.

Birthday? (not required, but you might get presents!): March 7th

Where do you live? (city, state, country): Haddon Heights, NJ USA

Your Zip Code?: 08035

Relationship Status:: Married

Favorite Quote:: "Very little is needed to make a happy life, it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking" unknown

Favorite Book:: don't have a favorite, but right now I am reading "The Secret" (a gift from someone)

What's your personal mission statement?: To regain my health

discrimination in the workplace

Thanks for the tip about the web site. I will check it out. The sad thing is that my boss knows what she is doing is illegal, but she has such anger issues she can't help herself. She reacts, makes... Read More »

Thanks Shmary. Being demoted and having my job description completely voided by this idiot should raise a red flag with the EEOC if it has to go that far. I am hoping to reason with her on monday i... Read More »

Thanks Genie. It is unbelievable how many wack jobs hold high positions in major corporations and get away with this stuff. HR turns a blind eye due to the high level of schmoozing the executives h... Read More »

At 9:37am on September 18th, 2008, Firefly said…: So both your kids are artists in training! How cool! Would love to meet up after work, although I don't get done til 5PM -can you hang out that long? I just sent Sherri a private message with transportation info-just accept my friend request and I can write you and send telephone numbers etc. I did check out the megabus but the times on Sunday morning were not good. I'm thinking train from Hamilton Station (we could car pool together) which is $20 RT or of course bus from Mt Laurel which is $57 RT.
Amtrak is over $100. Talk soon! janet

At 7:48pm on September 15th, 2008, Firefly said…: Hi again! Both Sherry and I have RSVPed for the meet-up! How about you? Let me know if you would like to travel all together...Road Trip!! Well probabably bus or train, lol! Keep in touch!

At 3:06pm on September 12th, 2008, Firefly said…: Hi Lillet! So nice to hear from you. I would love to meet up for lunch! I work at the University of the Arts-my office is on the corner of Broad and Pine-which might make it a little bit of a far walk up and back-with no time to squeeze in the actual eating and talking! Although your view sounds amazing! Do you take the speedline in to work? If so maybe we could meet somewhere around there when you get off work and I'll take a late coffee break...In the meantime hope you are feeling good and enjoying life. I keep meaning to look up the Megabus you mentioned...are you going up to do yoga and lunch or just lunch? talk soon.xo janet

At 9:57am on September 12th, 2008, Sherry said…: Hi Lillet!! Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner...glad to hear that treatment is going well for you so far! And HUP, well - I owe my life to them, so I believe you are in the right place :) I would love to get together with you...and Janet, well she is just such a doll - we have been trying to hook up again, but we all know how crazy life with kids keeps you on your toes and very busy. Still trying to decide if I want to go to NYC - definitely leaning towards it. Do you think you are up for the trip? We really should talk - if you want, we can exchange numbers on pm - too much to chat about so let me know. xoxo

Surgery was really easy for me , I had a DIEP Flap for my reconstruction that is where they take you belly fat and make a new breast so you get a tummy tuck out of it . I really had no problems had really no pain, just felt like I did a whole lot of sit ups, no breast pain at all. I went off the pain meds the same night as my surgery they where making me feel sick. My doc said he could of let me go home from ICU I was only in the hospital 2 1/2 days most are in for 5 , I think because I ad 2 c sections that made it alot easier for me . I am here if I can help you in any way.

i'm well thank you - how are you doing? once a week is tough - i did it too for 12 weeks. it's hard to have to go in so often, but now that i've been cut loose and only go see the oncologist every 8 weeks i'm actually relieved to be getting a check up!
we are still looking at schools - now alex wants to do a road trip up the california coast to oregon and washington. he's really torn about going to an art school or going to a good 4 year with an art program. i'm hoping he'll just apply to all of them and have lots to choose from. this whole application/portfolio thing is a lot of work!! how's it going with your son?
i would love to join everyone in nyc, it's just not possible for me to travel that far when the kids have so much going on. i had been toying with the idea of going to the retreat in kripalu, but it's the same weekend of the sat's! hopefully there will be something in los angeles one of these days. . .
i'm thinking of you as you go through chemo and surgery - please don't hesitate to ask any questions about the surgery - i've had both a lumpectomy, then a bilateral mastectomy and i'd be happy to share my experiences with you.
best,
marla
