Bowling is Fun!

Well as some of you know, I have started bowling again. I joined a Monday Night Handicap League in November and started practicing a little more often. Well, all the time and effort has paid off. I just bowled in the Greater Tampa Womens City Tournament and am leading the Singles and All Events (both Scratch and Handicap). I shot the following scores: Team Event - 629, Singles Event - 834 and Doubles Event - 707....for an All Events Total of 2170. Apparently I was the first woman to shoot an 800 series an any event of in the history of the Tampa City Tournaments. This is too cool...bowling is fun again and winning never gets old.

I can attribute some of my success to the Arbonne Smart Nutritional Hybrids Vitamins I have been taking since December 2006. The energy level has given me the stamina to train and bowl longer format events.

If anyone is interested in trying the Vitamin Pack, click on my website at http://www.lucysandelin.myarbonne.com.

Email or call me if you have any questions.

Talk to you again soon.

2007 is Starting on a Good Note

Well, it certainly has been a long while since my last posting. I guess that old saying is pertinent in this case, "No News Is Good News".

All of my previous doctors' appointments and tests have shown no return of cancer cells. I have "graduated" from a 3-month visit to a 4-month visit cycle with my gynecologist and oncologist.

I have also gotten back into the great sport of bowling. I had put it on the backburner for over 2 years and decided in September 2006 to get back in shape and have fun again playing this game. Joined one league and doing some practice as well. Need to get some new equipment as my bowling balls are a little outdated technology-wise, but they are still managing to hit the pocket and striking.

A thank-you goes out to Lori Tessmar at www.TurboGrips.com for helping me get stocked up on my fingergrips and wrist device.

I've also been putting more time into my coaching business at www.WorldCupBowling.com. My weekends are pretty busy helping others get excited about this great sport.

I have also signed up with Arbonne, so if anyone needs Arbonne products or would like to know more about this industry, feel free to send me an email.

Thanks for listening and allowing me to enter your life through my blog.

Take care all!

Another Good Check-up

It was time for another 3 month check-up with my oncologist and he said all my bloodwork looked good. But since we hadn't had a PET Scan since last year, he gave me a prescription to get this test before our next visit in July.

I will keep positive thoughts that this test will not show any active cancer cells.

Thanks for all your prayers.

What A Moving Event!

Well I participated in my first Relay for Life event on March 11th. I had no idea how moving it would be for me. I'm only an 8 month survivor and getting an opportunity to meet other cancer survivors was very therapeutic and motivating for me.

Chatting with other Ovarian Cancer survivors was good for all of us to find out we experienced some of the same issues with chemotherapy and survived it with either a new hairdo or hair color; different attitute towards "time and money" and the reminder to never take one single day for granted.

Thanks to all my friends and family for donating over $200.00 to my friend Gloria Longin's Relay for Life Campaign. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated by the American Cancer Society.

And to top off the day, I won a drawing that was sponsored by the Northwest Tampa Optimist Club - A 4-day, 3-night weekend in Orlando with 2 tickets to DisneyWorld. Life is good!

Relay for Life Event

Hi Friends,
Last year around this time, I wasn't able to particpate in the local Relay for Life event due to the fact that it was on a "Chemo" day. But this year is a whole different story.
I was asked by one of the High School Students that I used to work at to particpate in the Town and Country Relay for Life Survivors Lap. So on March 11th I will proudly wear the ACS Survivor Banner and pledge my support to the fight against Cancer.

If you want to support this cause, you can donate your time or money to your local ACS or support my friend, Gloria's Team. Here is a photo of Gloria:



Here is the link to send your donation to our Alonso High School Team:

Thanks in advance for your help and keep in touch.
Love to all!

Another Scare....

This past Tuesday was the longest day! I thought I felt a small lump on my breast in the morning. By 9 am, I had visions of going through this whole process again...surgery, chemo, hair loss, fatigue, aching bones. By 10 am, I had a 1:30 appointment with my GYN Oncologist. Our next scheduled appointment was April, but I know I couldn't wait - mentally or physically. He examined me and said he DID NOT feel a mass, but prescribed a mammogram and sonogram. I drove directly to the location of my last mammogram and pleaded for a walk-in appointment. It was 3 pm and they would fit me in at 4:30. I said, "I'll wait".

The mammogram was brutal. They did 4 COMPRESSIONS of each breast. I never thought they could get that flat - LOL. They then said they were going to proceed with the sonogram, just to be sure. The technician that did the sonogram was the same tech that did my trans-vaginal sonogram last year. When I told her about my fallopian tube cancer, she was shocked. She said that you can't SEE inside the fallopian tube on the sonograms. I said my surgeon was shocked as well when she went to remove the fallopain tube. I think she took a little extra time to make sure all was ok. I certainly appreciated that on this "longest day".

My mammogram and sonogram DID NOT show any abnormalities, so it was a false alarm. But I will stay vigilant in order to try and stay "ahead of any future cancers".

Hope all is well and please keep in touch.
