LIFE WITH KARLA

Welcome to life with Karla. I was initially diagnosed with Breast Cancer 2007. Treated with a lumpectomy, Radiation and Chemotherapy. My July 2009 mammogram showed new Cancer. I'm recovering now from a bilateral mastectomy with breast reconstruction at the same time.. Some days are better than others but I must say that my recovery has been very good, no complications !!!! I give God all the GLORY for that.

my cancer survival tips!!..ARIMIDEX...LIMBREL BUTTERMILK

I'm now six months post chemotherapy and radiation!!!
My hair has grow back and I can almost sleep thru the night without waking up wonder and worrying. Cancer brings a lot of guilt with it!! as well as fear and the sense of loss. It makes you take a long look at your life to see if you really measure up to your potential!!


"BUTTERMILK IS MY FRIEND"
for the next 5 years I get to take this wonderful drug called "ARIMIDEX" its saving my life but trying to kill me in the process!!!! This medication causes osteoarthritis IN my knees, hips, back, and feet. and it also causes muscle aches all over my body.... like the flu feels!!! yeah, cant you tell I LOVE IT.

SO to treat the side effects of Arimidex I now GET to take LINBREL!!!! this is a wonderful drug also, but it causes upset stomach , ulcers and GI BLEED!!!
IT TOOK ONLY 2 PILLS TO TELL THAT MY STOMACH COULDN'T HANDEL IT!!! SO MY MOTHER SUGGESTED DRINKING A SMALL GLASS OF BUTTERMILK WITH MY MEDS!! OMG IT WORKS!!!!!! NOW I CAN TAKE MY VERY EXPENSIVE MEDS THAT I NEED, TAKE ANOTHER FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS AND A LITTLE BUTTERMILK MAKES IT ALL POSSIBLE:) MOMS ALWAYS KNOWS BEST!!

 

HERE I AM WITH NO HAIR!!!HAD FUN WEARING FUN HATS!!!AND COOl SHADES
