Flash forward . . . a year later.

It’s hard to believe that it has been more than a year since I posted to this blog. A lot has happened in that time.

To begin with, shortly after that last blog post, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Happily, it was in the early stages (Stage II) and I am now through two surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatments. I took a break from classes Spring and Summer 2009 and now am back at VCU, albeit part time and with short, gray hair.

Although still feeling the effects of “chemo brain” (it is very difficult to keep things organized in my mind), I’m plugging along. They tell me this can last for a year or two following treatment and I’ll use that excuse for as long as I can.

My thanks to Dr. Terry Carter for her patience. My thanks to my classmates who have checked in on me from time to time. I hope we can reconnect soon.
