April - Duane's contract assignment is transitioned to a full time position with full benefits ( ie. we have health insurance again!)
May - diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. Thank God we found it so early (because mammogram place called to remind me I missed my appointment last year) and this year I could go because we had insurance !
July- I had a lumpectomy on my right breast. They got all the cancer, no lymph nodes infected.
However, it was what they called a triple negative cancer that was quickly multiplying so chemo and radiation is necessary.
August / December - took 5 months of weekly chemo. Did very well. Very few side effects -- except I did loose all my hair! My God was so good he provided good friends and family who went with me to EVERY session so I had plenty of moral support.
January through February 2013 - I underwent 33 daily radiation treatments. Did have some rather bad skin burns that were painful but thank God they healed quickly and I am done with all my treatments!
