Chemo brain, Tamoxifen brain and mommy brain times 3!

I am finding that I have less and less space in my brain.

 Today at work I was trying to come up with the word to describe when you brown meat on all sides and then set it aside to later add it back into soup. I still can't think of what the word is but I guess I'll just have to live with it. Having 3 kids, 4 rounds of chemo and taking Tamoxifen. My brain feels like someone whitewashed it. Like painted but watered down.

 I made a decision the other day to give up Stella & Dot to focus on writing. I have had these stories in my mind for 20 years and now that I have survived Breast Cancer it's time to start putting my thoughts and experiences together in some organized fashion. I remember when I was first diagnosed one of the nurses told me to write everything down. I wish I had done a better job and now I vow to go back and get it down. Doing the Stand Up 2 Cancer PSA was a moment too that told me this is important, you can be there for others going thru what you did. It's time to "Tell My Story" before suddenly it's not just the word for browning meat that I can't remember.

The Laundry won't fold it's self.

This is a continuation of my last post in that it talks about embracing your community. My first visit with my "Team" at UCLA was like running a marathon. We arrived at the hospital at 7 AM to see my surgical oncologist. I had researched her in advance and knew she was the Director of the Revlon Breast Center and she was a "world-renouned surgical oncologist"  words I made sure to use when telling my parents I had breast cancer hoping to ease their worry. I also met with my reconstructive surgeon who would turn out to be a great person and not just an amazing surgeon. I remember sitting in the room after he left thinking "He doesn't have to be my best friend, he just has to do a good job." The first visit with him I felt like a deer in the head lights and apparently my left headlight was a lot bigger than my right because he asked me "Has your left breast always been that much bigger than the left, or is the tumor?" Me: "Um... it's b

Embrace your community. Even Batman knew he needed the Justice League, you don't have to Move this Mountain on your own.

You look at photos of before the mountain was even there. 3 years ago today I had a beautiful 8 week old baby girl. She was our most wonderful surprise. We had to try for a long time with each of our older girls but this one was an amazing gift we weren't expecting. Our "Bonus Baby" as we started to call her. I look at this photo and I can feel the feelings I was having at this time. I was overwhelmed by suddenly being a #momofthree of course but in these moments when it was just me and her things were sweet and simple. Shortly after this is when the random pains begun in my left breast. I just thought it was an inflamed milk duct so I worked thru the little electric shocks I would get here and there. Being a 3rd time mom doesn't make you an expert by any means. It's different every time. The one thing that is different is that you have even less time to worry about yourself and some little pain that just comes and goes with no rhyme or reason. Eventually when t

Today I got to take over Stand Up 2 Cancers Instagram Story page. It was really great getting to tell my story and partner with not only Stand Up 2 Cancer but with Beautycounter as well. They are working together this month to raise money for Stand Up 2 Cancer. I am so excited to be able to tell my story and add another experience to my story. I hope someone gets to see it and feel inspired because I really believe that Hope Moves Mountains. You can donate to SU2C by going to my www.CrowdRise.com/tonyapeat page. You can also order Beautycounter products thru my web site and select my "Social On A Mission" and a % of the sales will be donated to Stand Up 2 Cancer.
