To family & friends-
I spoke with Lois last night and she had her last Chemo treatment yesterday! Yeah! Her spirits are good and in Lois fashion is coming to the pageant. Nothing holds her back. Radiation is next but she has some time off in between. Susan G Komen for a cure is a great website that I was able to learn a lot from. For those that don't know, Lois found her tumor before her doctor. Self exam is key. www.komen.org

A change in the size or shape of the breast.
A lump or thickening in the breast, the area surrounding the breast or the underarm.
A warm sensation in the breast.
A change in the look or feel of the nipple.
A nipple turned inward or sunken into the breast.
The shape of the nipple becomes irregular.
A rash on the nipple or areola.
Nipple tenderness, increased sensitivity or pain.
Nipple discharge.
Blood or fluid other than breast milk secreted from the nipple.
A change in the look or feel of the skin on the breast, nipple or areola.
Dimpling of the skin on the breast (appears like the skin on an orange).
The appearance of irritated, red, scaly, or swollen skin on the breast, nipple, or areola.
Breast pain.
Although breast pain is usually associated with benign breast disease rather than breast cancer, it can be a symptom of either condition.
Lois Lane, you are an inspiration to me. I love you and so proud to be your sister!
Andy joins me tonight at the hotel. I can't wait for my family to arrive! I have Halo with me. My furry baby! She is excited to see Daddy also.
Off to work out!
Love to all!
