CLEAN MAMMO & SUICIDE PREVENTION FUNDRAISER!

CLEAR MAMMO, LET'S CELEBRATE!
Last Friday I had a bilateral diagnostic mammogram, and everything looks fine. I found out that they count your recovery time from the date of diagnosis, so I'm about 2 1/2 years "out". It's really hard to believe the radiologist when he says everything looks fine. I think it's a common experience to expect the worst. I'm glad to be done with the mammo, now it's onto my yearly gyno. I have to make that call. Stressful.

THUMB UPDATE
My thumbs have improved quite a bit since I went off the Femara about six weeks ago. I can bend them both independently and they do not get stuck in trigger thumb. In the morning, when my hands are swollen it's still a problem, but they are light years better than they were. Now my wrists are getting worse with that DeQuervains Tenosynovitis situation. I'm still off the Femara, and have yet to start the forth and final estrogen suppressor choice, Aromasin.

YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE
I've just signed up with Out of the Darkness Overnights, to walk 18 miles in New York City on June 4 and 5, 2011, to raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. My fundraising goal is $3,000. If you'd like to contribute, please click here, on My Fundraising Page. Here is the Email I sent out:

Dear Friends and Family:

I've decided to walk 18 miles from June 4 to 5, 2011, as part of the New York City Out of the Darkness Walk to raise money for suicide prevention. I took part in the first walk in 2002, and walked 22 miles from Annondale, Virginia, to the Washington Monument, where I spoke at the closing ceremonies.

Please take a moment to read my "page" on the Out of the Darkness site, and consider making a financial contribution. Thank you.

Knowing me, I'll be organizing many fun fun-draising events over the next five months, so this is just my first appeal. But it's simple and easy, and will get me on my way toward the $3,000 goal I've set for myself. (In all honesty I wanted to set it at $5,000, but I'm trying to do things a little smaller as a New Year's goal.)

Thank you for taking the time to review my appeal. With your donation, you'll be sure to get a comp ticket to any event I host from now until June.

Blessings,
Sue

BLOG NEWS
It seems my frequency is dwindling here on Sue's Boob Blog. Maybe that's a good sign. Most likely my posts will be few and far between. I've been feeling well, though a bit lethargic and apathetic. Laying low, resting, pampering myself a bit, and waiting for spring. Last night I slipped on my front walk and slammed the back of my head into ice-covered cement. Felt like crying. Didn't. I'm still working on the SAVING LIVES TOUR, which will get into gear soon I hope. If anyone has connections in the mental health field, let me know. I hope to travel the United States, giving suicide prevention speeches and workshops. I just found out that they're using my book with teenagers at a state hospital. Amazing.

I wish you all a joyous new year full of perfect health, financial abundance, loving friends and family, and many dreams realized.

Love,
Sue
