I am off to Montana tomorrow to celebrate the holidays with the Helwick clan. There will be lots of food, Christmas morning mimosas....my favorite, and, hopefully, snow.
Wishing you and yours the very best holiday season!

HAIR REPORT
THREE WEEKS OUT
Greetings! This is the first of many biweekly hair reports. Now that chemo is finally over, my hair should start growing back. At three weeks, nothing has happened (note: I did not lose all my hair. The "peachfuzz" that you see never came out).
In other news, I am scheduled for a bilateral mastectemy with reconstruction on January 5th. Happy New Year!

THE SEASON OF GIVING
If you're in mood for holiday giving, please consider the Young Survival Coalition. I don't know what I would have done without their community of young survivors and wealth of information relating to treatment, surgery, etc.
From an email that I received from YSC:
Remember the YSC in Your Year End Giving
Look at me. I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'M FINE! But somewhere in my body, there are these tiny little cells trying to kill me"
These words were spoken by my friend Tracy, a four year breast cancer survivor, who was diagnosed at the age of 32 after finding out that the clogged milk duct she found after breast feeding her son was really breast cancer. One year later, when Tracy thought she was on a path to help other young women beat the disease, she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer to her lymph nodes and then her brain.
But, you see, Tracy is a fighter. She has to be, for her five-year old son and for her husband, for her family and for the other young women who go through what she does daily. Her goal: to dance at her son's wedding.
By remembering the YSC this holiday season and sending your gift today, the YSC will help empower more young women through their breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. So that young women like Tracy will see their children grow up and dance at their weddings.
Please send your gift to the YSC today. Mail your check to: Young Survival Coalition, 155 6th Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10014; call the office at 1-877-YSC-1011; or make your donation on line at https://www.youngsurvival.org//index.cfm?fuse=donations.form
May you and those around you have a wonderful holiday and season.
