Freddie's Health Updates: July 2009

Our granddaughter, Charlee Star Vincent, was born on Monday, July 20th at 11:12 p.m. after 19 hours of labor for Amber. Charlee was 8.1 pounds at birth and 21 inches long. Isn't she beautiful! We have been spending as much time as possible with her since she was born. Our daughter Amber is doing great! What a blessing in this crazy past year. One year ago today, Tuesday July 29, 2008, my cat Stella helped me detect my breast cancer. I can't believe it has been a year. I am in the midst of 5 doctor visits in the next two weeks for my three month check ups to make sure I am still

cancer free and remain that way!

I hope all my friends and family can continue to help me fight the battle against breast cancer. I have a Team, Freddies Friends, again this year for the Race for the Cure. See the link below to join my team. http://www.komendenver.org/site/TR/Race/General?px=1488364&pg=personal&fr_id=1090

I hope you are all having a wonderful Summer!

Love Freddie

Where do the months go? I can't believe it has been 11 months since I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer! Since my last post the end of February, I have been getting back my health and celebrating life! I went to Cabo San Lucas (see the picture outside our hotel room!) with my sister, brother-in-law and four other great friends the end of May to celebrate life (my new motto), 10 years of marriage to Keith, Keith's 51st birthday and my sister's 50th birthday. I have not laughed that hard in years and it was so needed!!! My cancer support group of friends I went through chemo and radiation with, and their spouses, met at my house on Friday, June 26th for food, fun, laughs and support. We will be getting together monthly and welcome anyone who has, or is, going through cancer to join us for ongoing support. One of our support group goals is to go back to the Rocky Mountain Cancer Center (RMCC) at least every two months, if not more, to help support the new patients by making them laugh and help them bond with those that are going through treatment at the same time. I have made lifelong friends with my friends who were there with me! I plan on having a team for the Susan G. Komen Race October 4th and will be sending out my team link soon. Until then, here are some fun pictures from the last couple months.
