Happy Spring time to my Victory (Vic-TREE) Support Group
Spring is my favorite time of year!!! I'm so happy that it's here!!!
A Tree Reflection:
Among the well over 55 books I have read since my diagnosis on 12-22-08,(most of you know I am a voracious reader),O.K. so I have some extra time on my hands.) I am struck by how frequently in life we are tested by adversity. If we allow ourselves to use it as a lesson and a path forward, we can emerge from our pain on the other side, (can't wait to get there), stronger and more alive than before.
One of my favorite stories tells of a butterfly's cocoon. Someone sees the movement of the butterfly pressing against the wall of the cocoon, and they think they'll help it along and just cut a little hole in the cocoon so the butterfly can come on out with ease. But the butterfly dies soon after. There's a reason why it's beating its wings against the wall of the cocoon--to make it stronger. That's the way I like to think about the trials and tribulations we go through. They're meant to make us stonger.
With discipline, determination and stamina, I hope this change in my life makes me stronger , kinder and more connected to the world around me.
As I wrote the word stronger, I could hear some of you calling me (as you have in the past), Wonder Woman, Superwomen, A Rock Star, The Rock in the storm, and my Nicky Noodle's shared poem about, "The strongest TREES in the forest will withstand the harshest winds." The winds are blowing once again. My roots are standing tall and firm.
Thank you for your continued Love, Care and Support.
Thanks to you my home is filled with Daffodils and Daisies, Cards and Letters, Hope for a better day!
I remain, Positive, Hopeful, and Crazy!!

Today is a Good Day! I'm Feeling Good today. It's Rainy/snowy outside but I'm making my own sunshine! I am sooooo very excited today! As I write to you, my brother-in-law Stanley's sister Adele "The Artist", is drawing my "TREE OF HOPE" in my new pink bathroom. She had asked my sister Marie what she could do for me. (Warning: Be careful what you Ask) I had envisioned a "TREE OF HOPE" drawn on the biggest wall with leaves of inspirational messages like peace, hope, love, light... It is more beautiful than I could ever have imagined, and she's just getting started. She has a passion for her painting, and it shows. She's knee deep in paint and in her own zone. What a special gift of her time and talents. I am so appreciative of the love being sent my way. I am so lucky to have such wonderful people in my life.
Speaking of which: Thank you for understanding that a Chemo patient is not supposed to hug, kiss, shake hands, etc. due to the germ factor. (possible low white blood count etc.) Just when you need attention the most... Thank you for your creative ways to show me love. (Kissing me on my scarf and head (Cailyn's idea), elbowing, bumming.... Who loves hugging more than me??? I miss it so, but I have to be careful. Thanks for understanding.
Reflection: I have an appt. with the plastic surgeon at Mass.General Hospital next Tues. So I've been contemplating some things. Why?? do you never hear of anyone having BUM-Cancer. I mean you hear about Mastectomy - loss of a breast. But what about - a little loss of your bottom. Come on ladies, you know what I'm talking about. I wouldn't mind at all if the doctor said, "Theresa, we found a few suspicious spots on your hips and thighs, we have to do a BUM-ectomy!! Yes!!! Now you're talking. A little less in the rear, a little less on the treadmill.
I remain Positive, Hopeful and Crazy about my New "Tree ofHope"
CEO Tree, Theresa, SFP.S.
P.S. Remember to ask to see my "Tree of Hope" when you come to visit. You'll be glad you did. Who knew my bathroom would look like something from the Museum of Fine Art??

A Tree Reflection
For my ever-growing Victory (Vic-TREE) Team of support!
Friday 2-27-09 1:00 a.m. Help!...
Going BALDLY where I've never been before...
Breast Cancer: My Character-Building experience.
From the diagnosis on, I have been surrounded by the love and support of friends and family. A special thank you to my cousin Jeff who was brave enough to call me tonight at midnight when I sent out my (as my son Alex might suggest) "desperate plea for attention". Glen has always said I have an attention deficit disorder. Luckily my dog Rocky has the same disorder and loves attention too! He is there for me 24/7. Your love and support has been so strong I believe I will feel this reverberation inside of me for always. Like the silence you hear when the music you are listening to (Blaque Lyte if you're lucky) stops playing, it will echo and stay a part of me for ever. I am propelled forward by HOPE, FAITH, and LOVE and a deep primal mothering determination to be here for my children and grandchildren.
As I said, I do have my moments, I'm only human (Are you singing the tune from the 80's in your head or just me? "I'm only human, of flesh and blood are made" (musicalnotes)). O.K, it's the drugs! But what I have realized after allowing myself to let go (on occasion)- the world looks cleaner and brighter after a good soul-cleansing cry. You should try it sometime. It's a bit less commital than the bald thing and just as cathartic. Go for it!!!! So many of you have sweetly said, if you're up late just call me. Know, that I would and could never do that-Sorry. However, I will on occasion send out my desperate pleas for love and attention for e-mails and I look forward to the next brave soul who is also up and willing to call me at 1:00, 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning! (Ourphone is shut off in our bedroom, you only hear the ringer and messages downstairs if that helps you)!

Anne and Scott, ( and others from the Vic-Tree Team)
I love rainbows! They are one of my favorite things! Another favorite is Glen making me a Valentine's breakfast in Bed. Buttermilk pancakes, coffee milk,(I don't do caffeine, for obvious reasons) and a beautiful pink rose. Between hearing from my surgeon (whom I do love, just didn't enjoy the details of my future surgery) at Mass.General on Thursday, and Glen coming home laid off fromwork once again, yesterday was a blue day.
However, such are the vicissitudes of life.
I'm determined to get all the other colors of the rainbow back, it's way more fun than just blue. (O.K., soeveryone knows I'm human now)!!! Glen and I picked from a heart-shaped valentine box of notes that I got a few years back. We each picked one this morning for the fun of it. He picked his first and read it out loud, we spent the next 5 minutes laughing hysterically. Thank goodness I picked a guy who not only can cook, but has a great sense of humor.
The card read: "I'll wash your hair today"!
Now that's funny!
Thanks for your uplifting and beautiful e-mail.

O.K., it's official, I have way too much time on my hands!!
Please consider downloading--- on your ipod or itunes on your computer this particular song. It helps breast cancer research and is awe inspiring for anyone needing inspiration and motivation.
Song: Just Stand UP! By Beyonce, Mary J and more.
Also, Just for fun, and no money, one fun song I listen to during Chemo is Bell Biv Devoe's song: "That Girl isPoison". It's quite appropriate as the Chemo Cocktail(Poison) is running thru my veins.
I have quite an ecletic, diverse choice of songs. I can go from Amazing Grace to My Son Brent's Songs he wrote, to Blaque Lyte and then to Bell Biv Devoe.
Now you know.......

Monday Feb. 9th, 2009 - After My 2nd Chemo
Weeeeeellllll, The Sat. and Sunday after Chemo weren't the best. But again, I managed to press forward with Grace, for the most part. You know you are feeling the worst FATIGUE and nausea in the world when you spend a whole day in bed without even caring about showering. Yuck!!!
I slept a great deal. I'm trying to listen to my body, even though I don't always like what it seems to be saying. The sun was shining today (Monday), the weather was beautiful as you know---SOOOOOO Mandy and I went out on our very first outing. You remember Mandy--- (my newwig)! They say that we would never worry about what other people are thinking of us, if we realized just how little they were actually thinking of us. At first I felt self-concious until I realized no one really seemed to care.
Funny Story-- Once I returned home, my sister called to say, "Tree, did I just see you out driving???", to which I replied, "Yes, Mandy and I went for our first drive together,", to which she responded, "WHO???" DUH??? She said, "Really Tree, when I saw you, I forgot al labout the whole ---bald head wig--- thing, I just saw YOU! That's Cool!!!!
Many sweet and kind people who have had wives, sisters, mothers go thru their own B.C. journey are now sharing their wigs and head covers with me. How grateful am I? The guys at the Chemo palace do call me "Thefashionista" so I can't let them down can I???? Would you expect anyting different from me??? Really!!!
Thank you for your continued love, care, support, Food, Flowers, cards, letters, e-mails, phone calls, angels, gifts of love and more.

Monday Feb. 9th, 2009 - After My 2nd Chemo
Weeeeeellllll, The Sat. and Sunday after Chemo weren't the best. But again, I managed to press forward with Grace, for the most part. You know you are feeling the worst FATIGUE and nausea in the world when you spend a whole day in bed without even caring about showering. Yuck!!!
I slept a great deal. I'm trying to listen to my body, even though I don't always like what it seems to be saying. The sun was shining today (Monday), the weather was beautiful as you know---SOOOOOO Mandy and I went out on our very first outing. You remember Mandy--- (my newwig)! They say that we would never worry about what other people are thinking of us, if we realized just how little they were actually thinking of us. At first I felt self-concious until I realized no one really seemed to care.

Haven't I said enough???
A Tree Addition - 2-5-08
Some of you were sweetly asking what I did with my hair. Ahhh, you know me all too well. Do I look like the type of person to trash something that another creature on earth could use? Absolutely not..... Of course I'm saving it. I had a mop of thick hair. It may have been short, but I filled a large size bowl in not ime. My plan is to build a bird's nest(maybe two or three)in the Spring time, my favorite time of year. I was married in the Spring, had all three of my babies in the Spring. Will be married to Glen 30 yrs. on May 18th. Yikes!!! How do we do it?? We laugh alot, ask the people around us. It's our favorite thing to do. (Well,one of our favorite things to do)! Tee hee. I plan to build and place the bird's nest of my hair, in a TREE outside my kitchen window, where I can happily watch a Mother bird care for her young.
I was inspired by a picture of my sister and I one Christmas just a few years back. Perhaps we were 8 and 10 yrs. old. The hair dresser did a Betty Boufaunt hairdo, we looked like we had bird's nest in our hair (Just likeMamma)! We loved it, didn't we look cool Marie?? And they added sparkles to our hair no less. We've been sparkling ever since. (And when we received a sparkled colored print robe for Christmas from our grandparents, we wore them the rest of Christmas day with all our cousins, aunts and uncles.) That only added to the sparkle thing! No, I'm not the only insane crazy cancer patient out there. I actually heard of other patients doing similar things with their hair and thought it was a great idea.
And that's your addition for the day!
Off to Chemo, wish me peace, tranquility and 5 hrs. of good reading and music listening.
Warmly, Tree
P.S. - I'm so thrilled I don't have to wash and style my hair today. No bedhead hair-- And..... no hat hair. YES!
Love, ME, Tree

The Tree Reflection/Report
For my Vic-TREE Support TEAM
Thurs. Feb. 5, 2009 (O.K. I know it's late, I have Chemo tomorrow, I'm on the hyper pill.)
You could say I'm having a NO HAIR DAY! Before all that (no hair) happened, I went to spend some quality time with my adorable, happy, smiley, handsome, intelligent, talented (You get the idea)GRANDson Alex Jr. He makes my heart sing. After spending time with him and talking to Alyssa's belly (Our baby grandaughter is due any day now. I was so elated I could have burst and/orshaved my head! It happened -- I didn't burst! Glen thinks I should audition for the new soap opera,"The Bald and The Beautiful". I think I could audition for The Bold and The Bald. After many BAD HAIR days and Bad Haircuts over the years, Glen would always smile and say, "YOU always look beautiful." To which I replied, someday I'm going to shave my head and see what you say then." Who knew..... After watching Demi Moore's movie, G.I. Jane, I thought wow, she shaved her head, how brave. Although, she did do it for a role. Wait a minute..... So did I.
Now playing,S tarring the Crazy, fun, silly, supportive, positive and empowering lady with Cancer. Only in theaters for a short time. Get your tickets now! The sequel, playing much longer is entitled, One Crazy Womens Happy Healing Journey. How she proved that you can get thru anything with a hopeful heart, positive attitude, prayer and love and support from a sensational group of friends and family.
I thought it might take me a day or two to get used to my new hairless head. I didn't know I would be happily, laughing and smiling trying on my scarfs and Mandy (my new wig). She's actually sort of cute. She reminds me of me coming home from the hair dresser. You know ladies, when we think, why can't it always look this good. Well, it can!!
I remain, Happy, Hopeful, Positive, and crazy.

What Cancer Cannot Do:
Cancer is so limited.
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot destroy peace.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot suppress memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot invade the soul.
It cannot steal eternal life.
It cannot conquer the spirit.
"The human spirit is greater than any Challenge."
I remain positive, hopeful, spirited and crazy! Thank you all for your continued support. I greatly appreciate your cards, letters, e-mails, gifts of love, food for my soul, flowers, prayers, mass cards, drives to my appts. and chemo, visits and more.

My Sue Fig, and more of my Vic-tree team!
For you and Cheryl too!
This Sunday, Feb. 1st some of the Vic-TREE team is headed to the Charles Street A.M.E. church, 551 Warren Street,Roxbury, MA 02121 11:00 am. service. For an experience that will remain in your heart forever! I last went in Sept. of 2004, and haven't stopped talking about it.
When I went to Lesley University, one of our professors, Marjorie Jones, an incredibly kind and caring individual, is also a minister at this church. She had us go to her church as part of our Cultural diversity class. I loved it!! They really know how to "Praise the Lord", it's quite an experience, that I've always wanted to share with others. My (Alleluia) personality was born into a(sit and keep still) catholic body. Not going to change at this point, but love to be diverse on occasion. I picture Cheryl really getting into it!! Must wear a HAT and Sunday best. Just Like when we were kids at Easter time. They dress for the Lord. It's sweet. Please make my day and say you'll join us. We're leaving from my house around 9:30 am. or meet us there!
I love you,
Theresa
Please let me know! Or surprise me!!!! or both!!! Trust me, I'll still be Surprised!!!!!!

TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY! Alleluia!!!!
Perhaps even a Great day! After my 1st Chemo. I had a full week of debilitatingside effects. But I handled them with Grace- (for themost part)! Yesterday was Wig Day! ("Wig Wars" - Private joke for Sheila Ducharme, my sister-friend and cousin and cancersurvivor, Vic-Tree Wig coordinator and helper in mypurchase). When Sheila said, "That one makes you look younger." The decision was made. All wigs have names. My wigs nameis "Mandy", but I affectionately refer to her as my BarryManilow wig. Get it?? It doesn't look like him(Pleeeze), he wrote the song "Mandy", for those of youyoung enough to remember. (Yes, I said young)!
My sister-secretary Marie, was kind enough to help me with a few errands today. She had a cold so she wore amedical mask. Funny, Funny, Funny. We got our overdoseof "Laughter" today. For those of you who may not be aware--- during Chemo, your immunities and white blood counts are low. They informed me that I can't HUG or Kiss people (That's not easy for me). Heck, I hugged the delivery person when she brought me flowers the other day. Supposedly when people have colds or other medical issuesthey should wash their hands and wear a mask around me. I asked the doctor, "Shouldn't I wear a mask," she said, "No, they should." I think it's her way of helping us find somecontrol in an uncontrollable situation.
Funny story. While trying to find a parking space today, we saw a primo parking spot up close at the sametime that another person saw it and drove along toward it. We were shocked when he gestured for us to take it. Then we realized with much laughter, that he saw her medical mask. (He felt sorry for her). Who needs a "Cancer on Board Sign". FYI: You may want to keep some masks handyand tucked under your seat in the car for future use. You never know when you might need one!!!
Thank you for your continued kindness, love, care and concern. Thank you for your visits, e-mails, cards, gifts, flowers, food, "Soups for the Soul" and other kind sentiments that all warm my heart. You never cease toAMAZE me!
Quote for the Day: "If you act better than you feel,eventually you'll feel better".
