I’m so blessed to have so many friends and family to support me through this kick-butt, take-names conquest. Just nine months from the day we lost my dear womb-mate, Tracy Frank, I was diagnosed with a third recurrence of breast cancer. And I have no doubt that we, together, will all become gladiators in the war to completely disable this disease.

Prepare to experience many things: celebrating all of the small and big triumphs, learning more than you may want to learn, giving back to others less-fortunate who are battling cancer, and how to just think happy thoughts and be grateful every day.
Please subscribe to this blog and feel free to forward it so I don’t need to keep everybody posted individually.
Most importantly, don’t believe you are ever an imposition. Just call, write, e-mail, comment here, and know that I will read and appreciate every drop. I may not respond but that means nothing.
It takes a strong band of family and friends to muscle our way through this and you are officially enlisted!
Love and hugs from my family and I,

Hair is overrated anyway, Dana! I chopped all of mine off a few weeks ago. Jack, my youngest, and a pile of his friends will be participating in Relay for Life in Issaquah. I’ll have them dedicate a few laps to you and to Tracy. Now, go kick some cancer cells’ butts.

So funny, Marylove. And you and your family can also walk with our team in Bellevue, if desired! June 10 6pm to 9pm!
Hugs, Dana

Dana you are so beautiful! I was looking at your blog again and am struck that hair has nothing to do with your looks. Susan Davis and I want to come and visit – just let us know when and we’ll be there. Sending love and great thoughts.
