About Me:
Diagnosed with papillary thyroid canser spring 2008. I have had 2 surgeries to dissect lymph nodes and remove a portion of my thyroid. Now I have to deal with the remaining tumour, the bugger. I had RAI in September to eradicate this major pain in my neck.

I am a single mom with a fabulous son, a very supportive mother (more like my 86 year old girlfriend, she passed away Oct. 17, 2008) & my posse of wonderful family and friends. I love to garden, watch movies, read bios & murder mysteries & do botanical illustrations & water colours. I support our local food bank as much as I can. In the past my mother & I held with afghan & appies parties. Now I am learning how to properly feed myself to kick cancer's ass.

Another Loss

One of my close friends here in Prince, one of the Canasta Nasties, passed away this morning after her journey with lung canser. Sherry was diagnosed after I had my news. We spent time together in Vancouver as well when she had her surgery to remove a canser tumor in her brain a few days before I was to start my radiated iodine treatment. She was in great spirits then and again when I visited her after she returned home from her radiation treatment the next month. We last saw each other October… Continue

Thanks-giving up in Canada TOO for me!!!

I saw my oncologist this morning... The current swelling in my neck is generalized swelling as a result of the radiated iodine treatment and is typical. It is not the tumor increasing in size. My ct scan showed generalized swelling and no new lymph nodes. My T level is 8 and it needs to get down to 2 but that will come with time. My thyroid dose is bang on for me. I will need 2 more blood tests next year (Feb and May) and then HOPEFULLY one final body scan in September following 2 thyrogen injec… Continue

Foods That Fight Canser lesson session

The end of this month I will be hosting a lunch time session at work for interested staff members. Many folks have asked me for more information about eating healthy. And I was told by many co-workers when I returned to work last month that I really look great. I suspect much of this has been due to my new choices for eating. So I am planning to share the word on veggies, juicing, and the anti canser eating recommendations I have researched. This is exciting stuff. I have asked those 20 plus fo… Continue

Great Lady Joins Eternal Allstar Baseball Team

Janie Rose Adamick, my mother ,(86 and a half) passed away last night. She has been my rock of gibraltor over my canser journey this year. Whenever I hit a rough patch, she was there to root for me and give me a reason to get up in the morning. (Someone had to make her coffee!) She took charge of the phone - no mean feat when you are deaf in one ear -- to field phone calls while I slept; made sure I ate 3 square meals a day and joined me on my lifestyle journey to eat foods that fight canser. S… Continue

I am so sorry for your losses and hardships, Jane. How difficult a year you have had. You're very, very strong. Words fail at times like these. My sincere condolences.

Your son sounds amazing as do you, those are books I really want to get my hands on. I just find it so hard right now, so much going in my life - inner and outer - at times I don't know whether I'm coming or going. So much change, huge shifts, and another procedure to get ready for on Tuesday.

Thank you for your friendship. I very much would love to talk more. Your knowledge is clearly extensive and most intriguing. I love chocolate. Loved, oh God, my opiate fried egg of a brain, Like Water for Chocolate, I think. Read that years ago and really loved it. I can't even remember the name of the woman who wrote it. She's so good. Going to send out a short note later tonight to all my new friends that I'll be away for a couple of days.

Thanking you again and wishing you love and healing...Paul

Hi Jane! Thank you for the congrats last week. I was quite out of sorts adjusting to coming back home from Chile! How are you doing? I saw the memorial to your mom - it must be a hole in you life. How about treatments and such?
Love and hugs to you

Hi Jane --

Thanks for the congrats! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Between the election and a broken down computer, I've been way behind on my communications!

Best, ALZ

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved mum, she sounded like a fantastic person and I only wish I had gotten to know her (: May she rest in peace and show the people up there how to have fun and be happy! You will always be connected to her in this world and the next and the ones after, I believe in that. Thanks for the kind and supportive words you replied on my discussion. Know that you’ll always have a friend in me *big hugs* XoXo Fo

You made me cry...what a loving living legacy...and so the spirit continues. She gave you roots...and wings. If all only knew the power that lies in the heritage of love...and the gift of paying it forward. I know Mom is proud of you and if I can be bold...so am I..you have now moved to an addtional candle..here's the meaning and I will keep it burning for a while for you with your name on it. I have connected with your heart my sister. We share a common heritage and path. Here's the meaning of your addt'l candle.

Rose

Compassion for self and others, higher mystical powers, humor, Love, romance, opening the heart, forgiveness, compassion, healing, joy, creativity, endurance, strength, stability and security.

You are facing so much. Isn't it funny that no matter how "old" we are, we become as children once more. So I picked prayerfully, a color to cover you, shield you as you continue in the path through grieving and rebirth. All areas seemed to be represented. My altar is full of loving prayers to Creator for you. Blessed new beginnings, xo, Bren

got your message, I will be praying hard for you during that time. A time of sadness yet joy..bittersweet. Let me know how you are. Seven brides, the Unsinkable Molly Brown...forget Calgon, movies take me away, and the Mr. Limpet...don knotts. Jimmie Stewart, hot bod even in black and white...muahs, good memories and good dreams my sister. Talk to me as soon as you can, I worry about you. xoxoxox...to infinity and beyond..B

Hi love, you were an inspiration..and in first honors to our lost parents I have l have lit a virtual memorial flame in Rivendell in their honor, look near the bottom of my vision board. It represents my real ones. You and your moms names were inscribed on a red candle, for love and truth and it burns in her honor and for your tribute of love, I "see" her in you. I am looking around for one I like better, but wanted to share this with you. Love you friend, b

Your turn love...muahs
