I found a lump in my left breast while putting on my bra that snaps in the front.

Don, Mom and Jill

Here is a photo of my amazing Mother and Step Father Don. Not sure what I would of done with out you both. This is Christmas, just a few weeks after I finished my radiation. It was so nice to be home.

I almost didn’t make it home for Christmas. I had a itty-bitty puppy, all the kennels were booked and everyone I knew was heading out of town for the holidays. I mentioned to my mom that I might not be able to make it home and trying to find someone to watch Phyllis was stressing me out too much. She went to work for me and from Minnesota found a friend of a friends, that live in Boulder, Colorado and offered to watch my puppy. What an angel that guy turned out to be.

Love you two!
