The darling dentist

After my tooth chipped I asked Mom #2 to help with finding a place to get my tooth fixed. She referred me to the darling dentist in the back of the woods. The dentist was nice caring with a smile of gold. She came to help me with her delicate hands to help fix my tooth. She made me feel at ease the entire time. As she finished fixing my tooth, she turns to me with her beautiful white smile to say free of charge. My heart opened with pure joy. I asked to get my teeth clean because I really needed them clean and I wanted to pay for something. As my appointment came alone for my cleaning, she walks up again to tell me how much she admired me and that the cleaning was also free of charge. I started crying in the middle of the waiting room. I really didn't know what to do or say at the time. I'm so grateful for EVERYTHING that she has done for me along with her team. I'm truly blessed to have people in my life who can help me. I can't say thank you enough for everything that I've gotten due to this disease. I hope when I have the chance to do something for someone else I will pass it forward. I can give my all to someone and I see that others are willing to do the same for me.

Tomorrow I will put up the pictures of all the sarcoma awareness final day!! Thank you so much for all your help and participation. Love you all!!

ATTENTION LAST DAY of sarcoma awareness month

PLEASE PLEASE wear yellow tomorrow for sarcoma awareness month!! Take pictures and send them to me!! I want to make the last post of yellow an amazing one :-)

Thank you all!! I love you all so much for taking the time during the month to promote awareness and by wearing yellow!!

Small things that make big differences

I'm so excited that my oldest younger brother is here in the Midwest! I hope to give him a much needed break from his everyday life. I would also like to help him see how great it would be for him to move up here to get his M.S. in Engineering. It would be a great look for him.

Although the added benefits with him being here, I can only smile and look at how much just having him here makes my days better. He makes me laugh and at the small bit of just giving me great advice face to face. It really makes my days better and easier here already. HAHA I know I know I'm being a bit selfish. Anyway, I hope to get him all the pizza he wants this week and I hope I get a chance to visit the taste of Chicago and do a little shopping. ;-)

A tribute to Odis Brown

I hope Momma Ressa is okay with me doing this but here it goes...

A VERY SPECIAL kind hearted, funny, giving man that brought joy and laughter into a room, even in his final days. This man is extremely special to someone who is very special to me. Her name is Ressa aka Momma Ressa and Odis Brown is the man who could light up her face with a single joke. Odis suffered from lung cancer which then metasized to his brain. Odis was diagnosed and only given 2 years to live. As he loved his life with a toe tag given by his doctor, he still made the best of EVERY SINGLE DAY!! With a smile here and a joke there. My favorite joke of his was when, Patrick, Momma Ressa, Odis and I were at Dixie Kitchen talking about CPR. Momma Ressa said that you can crack someones rib cage when performing CPR. I laughed in a nervous way like that's not true. Momma Ressa says to me, "It's true, I've done it before." In both shock and disbelief both Patrick and I said no u haven't. Odis looks at us both and says "have you seen her arms?", pointing at Momma Ressa. As she turns in shock she laughs and punches him, which he says see my arm is broken now. Haha!! It was great. Plus there was always the joke that when it was time to order food, that he couldn't afford to feed Patrick because he ate too much.

The jokes along with the stories of shooting snakes and being a markersman makes the memory of him so strong and fond in my mind. Quiet honestly, I'm not as funny as he was but I tried to show people the lighter side of my diagnosis. I wanted more people to laugh rather than cry. And some of that attitude came from him. Thank you so much Odis for the joy you brought to us all. I still eat hot sauce on everything ;-)

Miss ya!!

June is still sarcoma awareness month...

Everyone should be aware that June is Sarcoma Awareness Month!! Please remember to wear yellow and tell someone about sarcomas. Here is an interesting sarcoma:

Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a systemic disease which can present with cutaneous lesions with or without internal involvement. Four subtypes have been described: Classic KS, affecting middle aged men of Mediterranean and Jewish descent, African endemic KS, KS in iatrogenically immunosuppressed patients, and AIDS-related KS. The erythematous to violaceous cutaneous lesions seen in KS have several morphologies: macular, patch, plaque, nodular, and exophytic.

Only 6% of homosexual men are aware that KS is caused by a virus different from HIV[2]. Thus, there is little community effort to prevent KSHV infection. Similarly, no systematic screening of organ donations is in place.

In AIDS patients, Kaposi's sarcoma is considered an opportunistic infection, a disease that is able to gain a foothold in the body because the immune system has been weakened. With the rise of HIV/AIDS in Africa, where KSHV is widespread, KS has become the most frequently reported cancer in some countries.
(information provided by Wikipedia)

Many people don't know about these sarcomas but I hope that you all learned something new about these sarcomas. Separated the word to those who will listen.

Please remember to wear yellow for people like me!!

Relay for life Walk

Hello All!! I'm so sorry for the late posting but I would like to let you all know that its a great thing that I haven't been posting!! I have been busy living a busy "normal" life like a normal graduate student. :-)

Anyway, here is what has happened in the past 24 hours. I went to the Lafayette/ Tippecanoe County Relay for Life survivor's walk. The walk is an annual celebration created by the American Cancer Society (ACS) for funding for cancer research and cancer patients. It happens all over the United States all year round!! The walk occurs for 12 hours straight from about 7pm-7am, where some people stay on the track the entire night but most people start a team and people walk in shifts. It is a great way to see that "cancer never sleeps." I use to do these walks when I was a student in high school for my grandma and my grandpa, then I started to do the walks here at Purdue to keep the tradition alive. So this year's participation was a little bittersweet because I did it for myself, my grandma, my grandpa, my dad, and my sunshine mom, Theretha. It is a great way to exercise for one day at least ;-)

So I started the walk looking for my oncology group, then I went on to realize that my neurosurgeon had pledged to run the entire night for me!! As his assistant walks up to me to tell me that he was there for me, I began to cry! It was all of tears of joy because he didn't know if I would be here or not. So as he rounded the curve, I give him this really big hug with tears in my eyes. He allowed me to hug him!! Believe it or not, he started to cry too!! It was a beautiful moment that I wouldn't change for the world!! My chemo mom was there in her lovely pink with her beautiful children. We walked around the track together for the survivor walk. She also bought me a tribute bag for those who have survived cancer. I also had the chance to see the beautiful smiling faces of my cancer care center employees. They were bright eyed and all smiles as we walked by as survivors. I felt so great to have them all there!!  It was a great time maybe the best time that I have had in a LONG TIME since I was diagnosed.

As the walk came to an end, I went over to the track again to walk with my neurosurgeon. We walk for about 2 miles and we talked about everything!! It was great! I had a chance to get to know him a lot better. I can honestly say that I have a friend in him now. :-) *cue Toy Story theme song*

I THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT TO THE WALK and if you would like to help someone like me or would like to do something nice that only involves you walking. PLEASE, PLEASE do Relay for Life in your local town!!

Purdue Cancer Support Group...

Good news people... I'm really excited that I had a chance to sit down with a let's say... A big wig at Purdue who makes a lot of decisions with fundraising. She made a lot of effort to look into making a great strides to starting a group for young survivors here at Purdue. Many don't know but the amount of young adults with cancer has increased in the last few years, if we can get some sort of funding to start a group with scholarships and grants for those in either remission or those in the middle of treatment. We will also make great strides to form a support and safe haven for those who have questions about their friends, family, and education. I'm really excited to start this group at Purdue. I hope to encourage those who are afraid to talk about their disease will talk about it. I really hope to make a difference on campus. For those of you who would like to support us it would be great!! We need fundraising ideas and bodies to help do physical labor and get the word out. For those who know someone who was diagnosed at a young age and would like to get involved please feel free to have them contact me!!

I'm so elated to make someone's life a little easier. Making the world a better place one person at a time. I may have just found my calling. Thank you so much God for these abilities.

Always remember to wear YELLOW and support the sarcoma awareness month. Send your pictures of yellow attire my wonderful readers!! :-)

Happy Father's Day!!!

Today has been a great day!! I went out to the suburbs of Chicago where my father lives to spend the day with my family. We started the day with breakfast, we had waffles and bacon, which my brother, Evan, will only eat. My sister and I spent the entire day locked at the hip. Wherever I went she went too. My brother is getting really big and is... how do you say a "typical boy." He finds ways to hit and torment my sister with all his being on his earth. Its kinda of funny because it looks like what me and my older younger brother were like at that age. Anyway, we rode bikes, we went to the store, we took a nap, we ate dinner and we had a great time in general. I'm really glad that I went. For those of you that don't know, I haven't seen my sister and brother since November because of the chemo. So this was a triumphant day for me to say the least. Here are a few pictures from the day. Special shout out to my friend Patrick... The sang the SpongeBob Square Pants Theme Song for a good 5 minutes when I mentioned your name. Had also, Evan asked for you a couple of times.
Happy Birthday Jeri Diann!!
It was a fashion show

Every time I go to complain

I know many of you have asked me over and over again, "How are you feeling?" and I have responded "I can't complain." The truth is I really have no reason to complain about a single thing in my life. I can't ask for one more thing I need or anything that I wish was different. I think about every child in St. Jude's hospital and Riely's hospital who have NEVER been to Disney world or never been on a plane or those teenaged who have never been to prom. I have done them all and I see myself as truly blessed beyond belief because I have had those moments. I'm stronger mentally then I would have EVER been without this situation. I would never change this life or this experience in my life!! I wish more people could see the beauty in front of them in their lives. It's so much worse than we all could imagine and I really wish you all could remember that. Thus life here that God has planned for us. The beauty in seeing the small victories in just a single day of tasks or just going to give someone something, a smile or even a card. Please people, if you learn anything at all from me I hope you learn that life is WAY too short to focus on the "not-haves." There is SOOOO much that you do have!!

Love you all more than words can explain. ^_^

So I chipped a tooth today...

Haha I really chipped a tooth today. It doesn't hurt but it did chip due to a carrot. So I called a few dentists in the area and they were all closed for some odd reason. So I called my doctor to let her know what was going on. Many don't know this but the zomata treatment makes your teeth weaker for some reason. So I wasn't surprised when the tooth chipped. It's one of my morals so no one can see it but my filling is completely showing. It doesn't hurt but it is a little uncomfortable. Dr. "Hugs a lot" told me that I should just tell the dentist that about my treatments. Then she also told me about what Dr. Shorty told her. She told me that he suggests that we wait until 6 months scans before moving forward to more chemo or even anymore radiation treatments on my liver! So hearing that news has made me realize that the tooth is just a little bump in the road. No big deal. Because all I could think of is making sure I realize how amazing it is to have no more new cancer in my body. I'm so blessed for that. Anyway Dr. "Hugs a lot" also told me told me that since I was always tired that I should consider the fact that I was dehydrated. So she told me to drunk a glass of pickle juice and/ or eat a large fry from McDonald's... HAHA I never thought I heard a doctor say those words to me but it was definitely a first for me.

Like always, wear something yellow and educate someone about sarcomas!! Love you all.

3 Month scans

Its so truly amazing to see how blue the sky is and how green the leaves and grass are after you receive good news!! A child's laugh is just a little bit sweeter when your doctor walks in to tell you I have some good news for you Denise. The smile on the face of a cancer patient's mouth when she realizes the fight was worth every bit of sacrifice that occurred up until this point. The single tear down the cheek of a smiling face to know that it was worth it all. To know that the fight is over for now is a beautiful thing in itself but ever better when the day matches. I'm so extremely happy to know that the lesions on my kidney are stable and there is no regrow in my spine. The amount of joy it brings to me, is truly undescriable. I wish everyone could feel this joy that God has given to me. When I thought it was all over, God shows me more of his blessings by giving me a check for $400 to pay off my bills. Granted not all of them but 4 is a great start. I can honestly say that I hope my tears of joy can radiant through all of you today or anyway. I'm so extremely happy and blessed with what God has done for me. Next step, getting the fund to help others started!!

With All my love and respect to all my readers!! Remember YELLOW is the new black... Wear it with pride.

As the anxiety sets....

I would like to let you all know that I have had a really long week already because I have had the results of my scans on my mind. I'm sure that nothing has changed and that there is only good news. The only thing that I can think of right now is the fact that this particular cancer tends to come back in the same place that it was removed. My stomach has been in knots and I haven't been feeling well at all. I really would like to move on and find a way to live my life without having to feel this way every few months or so. I'm so lucky to have a life that has little to no problems in it. I'm really lucky to have all the things in my life like those who know me very well my favorite statement is "I can't complain," which so extremely true. I would like to find a good medium between everything in my life.

Anyway, I will see you all here tomorrow so that I can update you on the good news. I have a lot to get done today. I need to finish my research proposal for my summer research project and I would like to get up in the morning to take a quick run. :-)

Like always, we all look GREAT in YELLOW!! Love you all...

Zomata treatments

Today, I had my monthly treatment of zomata. It is a treatment that allows my bones to get the extra ingredients to become stronger. Most people that receive this treatment are 3 times my age and the nurses at the hospital make sure to let me know. Haha!! Anyway, I have to get these treatments until Septemeber, then they will see what we can about the crushed vertebrae. I guess that's why I was in pain yesterday. The treatment is an IV transfusion that is given over 20 minutes. Now back to the running and exercising more intensely. Time to get into marathon shape.

Also thanks guys for continuing to wear yellow!! Sarcoma awareness month is ALL of June. We ALL look good in yellow.

If I had one wish...

If I had one wish, I would ask for the pain to go away. It's truly hard to live a normal life when in constant pain. My back is killing me. I really wish I could tale a magic pill that would give me the strength back in my back. My bones ache and my left side has a constant sharp pain. I just want the pain to go away so I can be normal. I really hate looking in the mirror and seeing me hunched over and knowing it's all because I'm in pain.

However in reality, I have to do what is best for me in this situation. I can't feel like I'm on cloud 9 but it was really nice to see a young lady smile for 20th birthday away from home. I can't be overwhelmingly happy but I can make someone else happy with just a few t-shirts. It was nice to see her smile with all her friends and enjoy her birthday away. I really wish that I could make more people happy on a larger scale. Oh well until then. One smile at a time.
:-) Until I make big money like Oprah, then I will see a lot more smiles. Lol.

Officially Sarcoma Awareness Week!!!

HELLO ALL MY WONDERFUL FOLLOWERS AND READERS!!

Today markers the first day of sarcoma awareness week. If you have not had the chance to wear yellow yet, please take the time to wear yellow this week!! It would mean a great deal for those of us diagnosed with this disease. For those who need some facts to educate those in your office or place of business, here you go:
  • About 10, 520 new soft tissue sarcomas will be diagnosed (5,680 cases in males and 4,840 cases in females).
  • 3,920 Americans (2,020 males and 1,900 females) are expected to die of soft tissue sarcomas.
  • The only way to prevent some soft tissue sarcomas is to avoid exposure to risk factors whenever possible. Most sarcomas, however, develop in people with no known risk factors, so there is no way known at this time to prevent most cases. And for people receiving radiation therapy, there is usually little choice.

Please help spread the word about the human tribe website!! The funds will go to help the fund that I am starting here at Purdue:

As we go on...

I can honestly say with all that has gone on in my life, I realize the true beauty in life. Today was a beautiful day by all standards, a cool breeze on a sunny 75 degree day. Not too hot and not too cold. A day where everyone could be happy with a nice long walk. I took a little run around my neighborhood and had a moment of clarity. It's beautiful to know how special the world can be when we look past the differences and the hardships to see how truly amazing we all are. I can see how special everyone is for who they are. With everyone in this world, we have a lot to offer the world. Find the thing that makes you smile and also makes someone else smile... It's gonna make the world a better place. It will make God happy. :-)

Love you all!! Let's all remember to wear yellow!! We all look good. :-)

My June Scans: Day 2

So today was my second day of scans, I had to get a PET scan and a CT scan. The PET scan takes FOREVER!! You have to sit in this dark from for an hour while an IV pumps fluids through you. Then you have to get a full body scan, which takes long for me due to the fact that I am long. LOL but shortly there after, I have to go to the CT scan where you drink 2 16 oz cups of "contrast", which I think is just water HAHA. Then you have to sit for an hour in order for the "contrast" to work in your body. After that you get placed on a bed with a big scanner for about 15 minutes. So for those who have never had any of these scans, here you go!!

How amazing it is

I think it's truly a blessing when God gives me a chance to see how truly blessed I am. For almost 2 years now, I have been going down to the local homeless shelter to feed people less fortunate then myself. Now many that know me, know that I really have a soft heart for helping students/ young adults with learning and understanding the joys of STEM majors. However, feeding the homeless has really helped me see a different side of life. Even after everything that has happened with me, at least I have a great group of people around me that care. I had the opportunity to talk to a young man that is extremely intelligent and had a lot to offer. The only thing he didn't have was a roof over his head. As I looked at him and listened to his story, it dawned upon me. LIFE IS MUCH HARDER THAN CANCER!! I don't have children, I've been on an airplane, I've been to Disney world, I've ran a half-marathon, I have a HUGE group of family and friends that love me with all their hearts. I have NOTHING to feel misfortunate about. I wish I could help more people in this world because just a meal twice a month isn't enough! Giving $10/ month to the American cross isn't enough, starting a scholarship fund for young cancer survivors at Purdue isn't enough! Giving someone in undergraduate school a moment to see the beauty in numbers and equations isn't enough! I've got to find away to give more. And I hope you all try as well.

Love thy neighbor

My June Scans Day 1

Today, I had to get scans of my spine. Nothing new just had to get a check on my tumor on my spine. We hope that nothing has changed. I would like to show you some pictures about my experience in the MRI machine. For those who have never been in a MRI machine, its just a big metal base machine that is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize detailed internal structures. MRI makes use of the property of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body.
I like being there at the MRI place. The people are really nice. A comment that was made to me was "Hello Denise, we missed you. You look A LOT better than you did before." Oh well, I plan to see them tomorrow for my PET and CT scans. Then on to the results on Thursday (Thor's Day) with Dr. "Hugs a lot."

Human Tribe Project

Hello All My readers and followers,

Here is a website called the Human Tribe Project, it is a way for anyone in the world that needs financial assistance related to cancer expenses to get help. The Human Tribe Project gives everyone that buys a charm related to the person involved , in which for each $20 charm, $15 will be given to the cancer patients and the $5 will go to the company. This can help me with little things like medical expenses that I have. Also, if you would like to help someone else that needs help there are plenty of different people ranging from newborns to older mature adults. If you can't buy a charm to help me or someone like me out, please forward this information to someone who you think would be willing to help.

The hardest thing to swallow

It's really hard to see when those who love you are scared and afraid react to things when it's hard. I'm really happy to see that those who are afraid at least make the first steps to show remorse. I'm really happy to know those in my life who are willing to give up the strong outer core to grow within. I really appreciate those who are willing to open the door when it's sealed shut with adversity and fear. I'm blessed to see those grow both emotionally and mentally through this process. I say thank you and for being strong enough to apologize.

On another note, I'm getting really nervous that I haven't started my menstrual cycle. My doctor told me that it would start a month after treatment ended but it hasn't happened yet. I'm really nervous that this will put me in a negative position later. I would really like to have children with someone special. However, if things don't change I may not be able to have that opportunity. I'm really optimistic about God being there to work things out, but there are is a bit of fear inside of me that it won't change. I will see my doctor next week, hopefully she will have an answer for me. :-)

Anyway!! Remember to wear yellow!! We all look amazing in yellow, please send pictures! :-D

Sarcoma awareness month Day 6

Here are the different types of angiosarcomas. Which is the umbrella for my sarcoma. The information given below is from law firm website.

Types of Angiosarcoma

*Hemangiosarcoma is a blood-fed sarcoma; that is, blood vessels grow directly into the tumor and it is typically filled with blood. A frequent cause of death is the rupturing of this tumor, causing the victim to rapidly bleed to death. Any malignant condition that affects the blood is extremely dangerous, for it is quite easy for the cancerous cells to “mestastize,” or spread cancer to other, healthy systems. Because angiosarcoma affects blood vessels, this type of cancer often proves to be aggressive, difficult to treat, and recurs often.

*Lymphangiosarcoma is an angiosarcoma in which the tumor cells originate from the endothelial cells of lymphatic vessels. The lymph system is responsible for the distribution of antibodies and disease-fighting agents throughout the body. Any time a cancer affects a system that is responsible for distributing chemicals throughout the body, such as blood or lymph, it can spread the mutated cancer cells throughout the body also.
Angiosarcomas may occur in any organ of the body, but are more frequently found in skin and soft tissue. They can originate in the liver, breast, spleen, bone or heart. Cutaneous angiosarcoma is the most common form of angiosarcoma. This disease primarily is located on the head and neck of elderly persons.

In the spirit of National Survivor's Day

Hello All My readers and Followers!!

This past weekend was the weekend to support and show some love for the people in your life that have survived cancer.

Please tell me your stories about the people in your life that you know who are cancer survivors!! I would love to hear the good, the bad, and the not so pretty ones.

I will start with the person I would like to pay a HUGE tribute to is my "chemo mom," Janice. I really strong caring woman that was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2010. She has been a great help to me and to the people in my life. Thank you Janice!!

I would also like to give a standing tribute and salute to my "Sunshine mom," Theretha for also being a breast cancer survivor. She has been a great help to me and my family. With her huge smile and infectious laugh, she has brought an entirely warm and comfortable atmosphere that everyone enjoys. Thank you Theretha!!
