Cancer in the news

There is something trending right now that hits pretty close to home. Melissa Ethridge spoke out against Angalina Jolie's decision to have a double mastectomy. She did not think that her decision was quote "brave".  I have a different opinion on that. I am a Cancer survivor as well and at the time I was terrified about the thought of a mastectomy. I was younger then most woman with the disease, only 38. And I was scared of being disfigured and my husband not being attracted to me if I lost my breasts. I refused the mastectomy but I had a rapid growing cancer so they had to do a lumpectomy, chemo, radiation and then 5 years of meds. It was long scary journey that took a terrible tole on my body. Now I think that the trauma that I was put through could have been diverted if I had listened to the Dr.s suggestions. I feel that Angelina's decision was brave. She knew her risks and who says that going through everything that I did would have cured her? It's a game of chance with Cancer. She was brave for her family. Because of her decision she will be here for them. Her mother died from the disease and now, she won't.  She won't have to take the chance that treatment will cure her. She won't have to go through the pain and sickness that me and so many others had to go through. If I would have been that brave 8 years ago my life would be completely different now. Grant it my battle has made me a stronger person, but my body is not so strong now. If god forbid my Cancer ever comes back, I'm going the mastectomy route. To me, choosing to live and not tour her yourself, that is bravery. I want to thank Angelina for bringing this disease to the forefront once again. We need a cure. 

I'm still working on another book but I really think I am going to make my next one a book about my battle with cancer.  The old me would have never wanted anyone to know all the gory details but now, I think I'm brave enough to talk about it. Please get your screenings, men and women. Think of the people you would leave behind were you gone.  Much love to all.....Sheila

Alive

  Annalisa never thought that she would be a widow at such a young age or that she could ever love again. And then she met Drew. The way they meet is crazy but not as crazy as who brings them together. They instantly have a heart pounding connection but Annalisa feels guilty for having feelings for another man. These two really can find love again after their horrifying losses but not without a life threatening accident and a terrifying kidnaping. Will Drew have his heart ripped out again, can he survive another love lost, or will their charismatic love have a long happy ending, and will the people from their pasts regret seeing the ones they love fall hopelessly in love with someone else?

This blog is an extention to my family blog but sometimes there are things that I want and need to say that are meant for their own blog. This is a chance for me to spill my guts and post my complaints and concerns. If you know me at all and have seen my facebook posts you know that I pretty much say what  feel.  I never have any intentions of hurting anyone but I do feel sometimes that things need to be said even if they hurt our feelings. They are my thoughts after all.

I do not like politics, not that I don't follow the news and political issues, I do, I just don't like what our country and it's government is coming to. Could  I do any better? I'm not saying that I could but I do know that what is there, doesn't seem to be working anymore. It just feels like they are all after the other guy. They worry to much that this law is no good because I Republican thought of it or this one sucks because a Democrate thought of it. I can't vote for that because I am a Republican, even if it is a good law. Why do we have to think that way? There is just to much fighting and power hungry people in politics. There are people that work hard but can not seem to get ahead in this world no matter what they do. Good people that try to teach their children family values and whats right from wrong but when the children see everything that is going on in our world, they don't understand. They feel like being a good hard working person gets you nowhere anymore. Sometimes I think I agree with them. Giving up and going with the crowd is the easy thing to do.

There are many sayings out there like God never gives you more then you can handle and everything happenes for a reason. I am a Cancer survivor and my youngest child was born ill and in and out ofthe hospital until he was 5. I was diagnosed with Hyshimoto Hypo Thyroid and Fibromyaliga, then at age five our son was diagnosed with a crippling hip disease an confined to a wheel chair until he was eight, then he started getting dibilitating migranes, then I was diagnosed with Cancer.....Jump to five years later and my health started failing once again to the point that I had to quit my career. Now that sounds like alot, and it is, but I am still here and I my children are still here. I don't complain to the world that they owe me for the hell I have gone through. I just try to keep my head up and be a good person. There are many days that I question God as to what exactly his plan was for me and my family to be put through so much but you know, there is always someone worse off then me. I don't blame our government for those problems, they didn't give it to me, but do they really even think about people like me that do suffer but try to be strong and get through this life the best that we can? Do they really have to cut education and the elderlys benifits and then give themselfs raises? Do they really need to be paid those high saleries for the rest of their lives after they are no longer in their office?  Our military fights for our freedom but they are often treated poorly after they come home from war wounded or their families are ignored after they have been killed.

I still feel that we have the best and most beautiful country in the world, and I would not want to live anywhere else, but will my children always feel this way?  Will my grandchildren? Something is going to happen and when it does will our govenment finally get the hint? I don't know if they will.

We as a country pull together so tightly after disasters or terrorist attacks. We are so good about that. That is what makes us the best country in the world, our people know how to love and care but our biggest problem is that those feelings fade to fast and are pushed to the back of our minds until the next time that we have to come together. Can't we just always do that? It's not human nature to throw people away, it's not human nature to rip people off or be cruel and unfeeling. The world has become this way because half are spoiled, part are lazy and the rest are just plain old pissed.

We as a family can not afford to vacation this summer. Gas is to high, food is to high, everything is to high. My husband works his ass off just to come home and eat cheap food and mow the grass and watch TV. He takes such great care of our family and we all love him so very much but you know it's people like him that keep our country going but if he were killed tomorrow, no one would care. The government would keep going and life would continue for everyone else.

I'm not a bitter person, really I'm not. I'm confused, and scared as to where we will all be a year from now, or 10 years from now. It's sad, it's so very sad what our future will probably be.
