Finding Words That Ring True

Things of magnitude settle over you with excruciating slowness. ~Sue Monk Kidd I’ve got a husband and an ex husband and a daughter and a son and a dog and a hive of honey bees and they are all significant to me. I’ve got dear friends, Cassandra and Lisa and Mary and Barbara and Martha […]

Making a Permanent Difference After Breast Cancer

The news of cancer is always frightening, no one wants to hear it, but once I did, my life was changed forever. My journey with cancer is not much different from other survivors, starting in 2012 where I initially had a misdiagnosis. Eventually, after running more tests I was finally confirmed with a diagnosis of […]

How Can I Help? Giving & Receving Kindness & Caring If You or Someone You Love Has Cancer

When we hear the word “cancer” it stops us in our tracks and are often left wondering what to say or do. How Can I Help? is a beautiful and touching book of ideas to encourage your loved one as they navigate uncertain times with a touch of beauty, a bit of humor, and perhaps a slice […]

Environmental Toxins: The Elephant in the Room

Doctors report shocking increase in cases of toxic exposure. Here’s why and how to keep these nasty culprits from wrecking your health. As author Chris Kresser writes, “Toxins from our environment are ubiquitous and almost impossible to avoid. But, if you are taking steps to limit your exposure, should you be worried about the low […]

I Just Want to Feel Happy Again

“You’re here really early,” was my greeting when I arrived at 8:15 am to do one of my all day workshops for cancer patients. “Well, the workshop is from 9-4 so I’m getting set up,” I replied. “But we have the workshop scheduled from 10 to noon.” She sounded confused. “And we have almost twenty […]

Team Tony Supports Sarasota Area Cancer Patients

I never knew how hard it was to get post-mastectomy supplies until my mom needed them. She’s been trying for the past 3-4 years. Her insurance will even pay for four bras a year and a new prosthesis every two years. The problem is that those vendors that do carry what she needs do not […]

Nutrition strategies to help patients recover after surgery

Recovering from cancer surgery can be challenging, especially if you are unable stay nourished and strong. Many people experience a loss of appetite, and side effects such as pain and nausea can limit their ability and desire to eat. Jason Stevens, MA, RD, CSO, LD, a clinical oncology dietitian, says working with a dietitian before and after a […]

If I Can Do Cancer I Can Do Anything – the Empowering Aspects of Cancer

Huh?? Cancer as empowering? On that dark day when “you have cancer” came out of my doctor’s mouth, I felt anything but empowered. I didn’t think I could handle the surgeries and chemo, physically or mentally. Wasn’t sure I even wanted to try. I didn’t feel empowered while I was going through treatment. But when […]

Knitted Knockers

A Knitted Knocker (KK) is a soft, hand-knitted breast prosthetic. Knitted Knockers provide a temporary solution while healing after a mastectomy, lumpectomy or during reconstruction. They are light weight, adjustable and machine washable. They do not require a special bra. KK’s are very popular in Florida because they are cool, comfortable and ideal for swimming […]

Battling Chemotherapy-related Nausea the Natural Way

One of the most common side effects of chemotherapy is nausea. It’s debilitating, unpleasant, and the worst part is that it may last for days on end. To treat the nausea, some may look to the prenatal world, where nausea is especially common for women in their first trimester and sometimes beyond. A number of […]

The Scariest Word

For many of us, “cancer” is probably the scariest word in the English language, especially if it comes at the conclusion of a pathology report with your name on it. “But that can’t be, Doctor,” I said, assured there must be a mistake. (denial) “But I keep myself in excellent health.” (rationalization) “Maybe a second […]

IBC Network Update

Just over eight years ago, I was told “We are sorry, but it is most likely too late.” This came after four months of hearing, “There is nothing seriously wrong.” What a jump. A mind-stretching leap from “Not to worry” to “Oh my, you have an out-of-control cancer that most physicians have never heard of, and […]

Start Fighting Pretty

No one wants to hear the words, “You have cancer.” As a 26 year old, I was living my “Sex and the City” life in Manhattan: dating, working in advertising, shopping with my girlfriends, and even buying some expensive shoes (that I could barely afford!). Pretty normal for a woman that age. What doesn’t sound […]

Cancer’s Like a Hurricane

(Common Emotional Stages of Cancer) I hope you enjoy this excerpt from my What’s Next For My Life? Companion Journal for Cancer Patients. Finding out I had breast cancer changed me irrevocably, forcing me into uncharted waters. I remember thinking I was the only one who felt like this, and being so afraid that it […]

It’s OK to Talk About Cancer

It’s OK to tell people you have cancer. Cancer sucks. No one likes talking about it because it brings up difficult emotions like fear, pain, tragedy, hurt, shock. Frankly, it is a nightmare. There is good chance that as you read these words, you have cancer or know someone who has cancer. And you are scared. […]

I’m Ready to Share My Breast Cancer Story

It is not without some anxiety that after so many years I am finally relating my journey with cancer. It was the best and by far the worst year of my life, and truthfully I don’t know how I survived 2006. I feel some of this is best explained in a cliff notes version, so […]

Following breast cancer surgery, a woman may go home with one or more drains coming from the incision site on her chest or under her arm. Care instructions should be given prior to leaving the hospital on how often to observe and empty the drainage container. The purpose of the drain is to keep fluid […]

New Technology for Breast Self-Exam

When it comes to breast health, we women often feel disconnected and dependent on others in a way that leaves us feeling very disempowered. That is about to change. We can now take control of our breast health in a safe and personal way, with Eclipse. Technology is revolutionizing breast health. The Eclipse device provides […]

Breast Reconstruction, a Work in Progress

As much as I like to think of the breast reconstructive process as the “light at the end of the tunnel,” I am inevitably met with a look of astonishment when I describe the typical timeline. Breast reconstruction is almost never a one-step process. There are so many factors involved with mastectomy and reconstruction so […]

I Am That Mom

Parents gather daily and chat as they wait to pick up their children at school. There I overhear the following conversation. Mom 1 says, “Did you hear that awful news about that mom that has four young kids and just found out she has breast cancer?” Mom 2 replies “No way, I know her. She […]
