Me? A courageous blogger?

I am so excited, I could split my stitches! (I promise, I won’t.) My new blog friend, Jen from Jenster’s Musings, has nominated me for the “Courageous Blogger Award”.
Here it is:


Jen received it from another blogger, and she decided to pass it on to me, and to our blog friends Sherry from ABreast In the World, and Jill from Reconstruct This.

In case you can’t tell from their blog names, these women are breast cancer survivors like me. Jen, too. Somehow, we all found each other’s blogs and quickly discovered that we have had some similar experiences with our breast cancers. Some of us have had mastectomies, some reconstruction, some oopharectomies. Most important….and this is what drew me to their sites….we all share the same “I can do this” attitude that helped us get through treatment and recovery.

I am so pleased that my new friend thinks I am a courageous blogger! Jen is a very courageous person herself. You should visit her site to read her story. I’ve added links to my favorite breast cancer sites in the sidebar of my blog. Jen’s is there, plus Sherry’s and Jill’s. There is also Princess Hedgie’s blog, and a blog by a survivor named Jayne (who seems to be my cancer twin, at least from what I’ve read that she’s been through)!

These blogs are all great reads. These women are wonderful writers, very knowledgeable about the cancer world, and the best "bloggy friends" a breast cancer survivor could wish for!
