Part of that is advocating for things my oncologist has not been strong in pushing to correct in recent yrs. It has finally occured to me, that I have to be the one to push for my complete care to be cared for. So, that has been my quest. To finally fix things that I have accepted as standard to ignore as part of my cancer treatment. That means taking care of this weird lump that grew on my port as well as finally seeing that all that can be done about my lungs is being done.

I lost my eyebrows to cancer treatment. Over 6 plus years of multiple courses and types of chemo's have prevented my brow hair from growing back. Thanks to minoxydl, I have hair on my head and tho sparse, My lashes have returned. I have told myself to be grateful for what I have. Yet there has been this little part of me that feels less feminine without brows. Less expressive, less myself. Yes, I do draw them on, but that is such a ordeal. I know, I know, First world problems, right. Well, no brows is just another insult to my scarred, breastless body. I made a call a week ago to Chicago microblading, and spoke with a lovely woman named Tahm. She asked what I needed this done, and I shared a bit of my cancer background and told her about being browless. She shared the procedure process with me and then went over cost and care. I told her that with all the medical bills I just didn't think I could swing it now, but said If I were able to scrape up the cost I would be in touch. The very next day my phone rang, and it was Tahm calling on behalf of Havy, the microblading artist offering me the gift of microbladding. I was blown away. I didn't need to do anything in return, just get medical clearance to have it done, and allow a photo for the website. Here is the review I wrote for Havy and her assistant Tahm. It says how much their gift means to mean.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Today I had the pleasure of meeting Havy and her assistant Tahm. I have an unusual reason for wanting to have my brows done, I have metastatic breast cancer, treatment is lifelong. All of the different types of chemo treatments have left my eye brows non existent. I was pretty nervous having been through so many surgeries and painful procedures. Havy put me totally at ease. She was super precise in measuring out my brows. She is very gentle and spoke softly, asking often if I was in any pain. I am blown away by how symmetrical my brows are. I can't pencil them in as perfectly as she did. They look great. These ladies are very kind and gracious. I am deeply touched and so so thankful to them both. Havy is an amazing artist. For me, a woman loosing a breast and eyebrows leaves an unfeminine feeling, this procedure gave that part back to me they look so realistic. Well, she literally changed how I perceive myself. To say I am grateful would be an understatement, I highly recommend Chicago Microblading and Havy.</span><br />

I am so so pleased with how they turned out. They look just like eyebrows with little hair strokes. My own eyebrows where never this symmetrical, and uniform. In a million years I could never brow pencil them on like this. I am so looking forward to feeling more "normal" and not having to draw brows on every single day!! What an incredible blessing this is for me. If you are thinking of having this done, do your research, ask your oncologist for referrals, and check out yelp reviews. Let me know in the comments below if you are thinking of having this done, or if you have had it done, and what you think about how it turned out. </div>

It has sure been a while since I have written a post, or filmed a Youtube video. I believe the last time I uploaded was in May during a visit to the Chicago museum of art. That was one of the Most lovely times I have enjoyed with my whole family. It was an amazing time, My daughter graduated from Uni. at Loyola in the morning, my son was here with his future wife visiting for the occasion. So after the graduation we set forth and took on the city of Chicago, going to the Museum, walking in the park, enjoying the best food the city had to offer. It was a blast. An incredible memory and one of the few items I have on my bucket list. Many people have ideas about travel or sky diving or even some thing simple like Disney. <br />
Those have never been my bucket items. From the moment I found out I had mets bc, I knew my bucket list would only have a few items. Enduring ones non the less. <br />
I wanted to see my daughter graduate from University.<br />
I want to see my son marry Caitlin.<br />
I want to be here to see their children born and grow.<br />
I want to see my daughter settled as well, although marriage isn't in the near future, I want to be here to see it if she chooses to marry.<br />
I want to see her children as well.<br />
I want to see my husband thrive in his career and be comfortable in his retirement.<br />
I want to see my dogs live a full and happy life (they are 5 yrs and 8 months old- so that gives me at least 16 or 17 years)<br />
I want to move back to Tn, because no state I have been to has been so suited to me as Tn. I LOVE it there. Nashville is the life goal.<br />
I also want to travel, and hike, and see concerts, and watch movies, and dance, and sing, and Live. <br />
<br />
Like so many of my metaviver sisters, I would just like to live out a natural life. As long as I can possibly live. So, what do I think of bucket lists? I encourage them. There are as many types of bucket lists as there are women and men living with this disease. What do you think of bucket lists? Share yours in the comments down below. I would love to hear the dreams you have.<br />

Spring is in the air....supposedly! Well today is the first official calendar day of spring. I have seen Some signs of it. Outside there are green shoots of various bulb plants sprouting from the earth, and I have spotted a robin or two. Which I hear tell, means spring is just around the corner. Another sign of spring for me at least, is the sudden desire to deep clean, shed things unused and reevaluate life. I have found myself becoming more organized. Especially in the fridge and the pantry. But there are more personal and deeper spring transitions occurring in my life. We added Gracie recently which has shifted the balance of things somewhat. Adding a whole new dimension, and some extra work to our family. I have also found myself weeding out time suckers. I am trying to be a bit more conscious in how I am living. Today I shed about 50 sites I had email subscriptions to. This will save me time with my email. Also I got rid of a bunch of youtube subscriptions that weren't adding value. You know the ones, shopping hauls, beauty videos and various news sources. They were all just causing my head to be full of crap. It felt so awesome to shed some of these things. I also have been avoiding facebook a bit in the past few days. It hasn't hurt a bit to not be checking in throughout the day. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying that this is how EVERYbody should spring clean. I am just sharing that I feel pretty positive about the things I have been adding and taking away from my life as spring prepares to come. After living almost 6 full yrs knowing that I have terminal cancer, I feel that I want more of a calm and peaceful life, with candle, books, music, good food, cuddles from pups and not least of all great family and friends. It doesn't do it for me with FB or youtube or email any longer. It needs to be more personal, and more peaceful. So, that has been my spring forward experience so far. What's yours? Tell me in the comments.<br />
Love you guys,<br />

Wow, there are so so so many milestones happening in my life right now. If you haven't been following along on Youtube recently, you may not know about Gracie. She is a cute little chocolate and tan smooth coat dachshund that Mo and I have added to our fur baby family. <br />

Here is a photo of Sadie all cuddled up with Gracie. They are so sweet. I love them both so much, and I have no regrets getting pups while living with cancer. In fact I recommend it. It is a very healthy thing to do. </div>

I also am about to hit the 6 year mark on March 28th, of living with metastatic breast cancer. This is fantastic. I was initially told to expect 1-3 yrs as a prognosis. I have doubled my time here on earth, from what science has expected from me. I intend to have a HUGE celebration. I'm not sure what I will do to celebrate, but it has to be larger than life. Like, jump from a plane, I dunno. Just BIG. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, In June I will celebrate two years of being on Ibrance. The newest of the metastatic breast cancer treatments. I have averaged about 2 yrs on the previous two treatments I was on. Chemotherapy tends to work in such a way, that over time the cancer will figure out how to beat it. So, no matter what you are on or how long you are on it, the one thing you can count on is it will become ineffective over time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, today I had an appointment for labs and a check up with my oncologist. For the first time in over two years, my tumor markers are at the bottom of the range that is considered normal!!!! I am so happy. This doesn't mean I get to stop taking chemo or that I am cured. What it means is that the chemo is working and working very well. YAY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is all for me folks. I just really wanted to update you on those exciting reasons to celebrate. If you have any ideas you want to suggest on how I can whoop it up for my 6 yr metsaversary, leave them in the comments below. Hey, also let me know how you are finding this blog. Through FB, Twitter, google plus or Blogger, or Lesliescancerconfessions.com. It would really help me out to know how you found me.</div>

Hello friends,<br />
Gosh I hope you all are well. I hear there is a nasty virus sweeping the nation the Noro virus I believe it is called. At any rate, douse yourselves in antibac and stay healthy. Now that we are through to 2017, I truly hope it is a much better year. With all the politics aside, I thought I would share something we can easily all agree on. Puppies are cute! This past month, we have added a family member. Official name is Lady Grace Bowlus, but she is simply Gracie to us. Sometimes I call her slinky dog, cause, well that is pretty self explainatory. She is a slinky, wiggly doxi pup. Her personality is quite different from Oscar and Sadie. The are all pretty independent, but Gracie is seriously independent. She is pretty quiet, and doesn't go crazy barking at the mail carrier when the other dogs do, she is pretty playful, and will pop the tags off of any toy, pillow, or tagged item. She just LOVES to chew tags. We are training her differently than we did the older doxis. She has a play pen with a doggie door. Inside the pen we keep a pee pad tray for her to go on when it is too damned cold to go out side (as a smooth coat, she doesn't have much hair to keep her warm) She also goes outside with the other doggies. I take them all every 2 hours whither they need to go or not. Usually one will go, so it is worth it. We have had very few on the carpet accidents because of this. Right now she is too small to fit even the smallest doggie sweater and just walks right out of them. We all are really happy we got her. I just can tell that the older pups are going to be great friends with her too. <br />
That is all from here. thanks for stopping by, stay warm.<br />

2016 has been a wild ride. We have been through a crazy political circus, terrorism, celebrity deaths, advances in cancer research and finally a more importantly, there has been a new awareness that SGK is more of a fund raising slush fund than a arm to funding research. Through the past year I have had illness, and health. One of the best parts of my year has been getting to know all of YOU. So many of you have reached out through social media. It gives me such joy to hear your stories, and see how you are LIVING with mets. I just want to grab you all up into a big group hug. Perhaps in the new year we could arrange a meta-thriver meet up. That would be lovely. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and enjoy an amazing New Year! <br />
hugs to you all,<br />
