"On this sheet Dear Lord
I write a prayer.
Better leave it blank
and let the silence speak
love is deep inside
and not in a made-up sense."

At some time in our lives we a get a wake-up call. It gives us a shake and a slap which reawakens our senses. My dear wife Judith will survive the breast cancer but I find myself holding simple items of hers like these earrings and thinking "What if ......"
I Almost Lost You
Music and Lyrics by Rosie Gaines, Frances Jules, & LaToya Gaines
I had a dream woke up in a cold sweat
scared me so much I'll never forget
I opened my eyes thank God you were still there
lost in my dream searching the sky
felt so alone I started to cry
I opened my eyes you're still asleep
I asked the lord you-n-my soul to keep
floating together up in the sky
if this is a dream then I'm wondering why
I had a dream I almost lost you
I had a dream I almost lost you
I had a dream I almost lost you
Every year, the month of October takes on shades of pink to remind us that prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer save lives. The symbolic gesture was born from social mobilization and continues as a collective call.
On October 19th, World Breast Cancer Day is celebrated, a date that reinforces the global commitment to women's lives. Far from being just a milestone on the calendar, it reminds us that research and information save lives, access transforms, and care needs to be constant. It is a reminder that confronting breast cancer requires continuity, structure, and empathy at every stage of the journey.
Every year in October, the "Dr. Arnaldo Cancer Institute," a philanthropic hospital, holds an event in a public square that offers free information, guidance, and mammograms to anyone who wants them.

the doctors always refer to the radiation treatments as the easy part of the cancer treatment... i guess nothing is easy about cancer... after 28 treatments over 5.5 weeks... the radiation did its job as you can see by the nasty red burn... the good news is that v finished the radiation treatments on tuesday... so the cancer has officially had its butt kicked... YAY!! all that's left is cosmetic reconstruction... v&i meet with her plastic surgeon in a few weeks... he'll assess the radiation damage and determine when he can complete the reconstruction... it will likely be this fall...
we plan to do a little celebrating this weekend... (and if you look closely... v's hair is making a nice comeback!!)

I am happy to report that Eeyore's gloomy cloud is lifting...the mood I was in last week seems to be lifting :) I have been blessed by family and friends who have once again helped me in so many ways. Tom and Friends have helped with errands and grocery shopping, driving Katie to and from school, driving Anthony from school, meals, and listening to me vent. The kids have also been great sports about helping with cooking, laundry, trash, putting away groceries, etc. Thank you ALL! (And, Auntie Ann will be here later today - I'll thank her in advance!)

It is a terrifying statistic that one in nine women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives. It's breast cancer awareness month this month. If you get a chance please look at this page - www.cancerresearchuk.org/breastcancer/ and show your support
You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

Grandeur: 1. The Quality of Being Magnificent or Splendid or Grand
Today is the day I have come full circle. Today is the day one year ago that
I completed chemotherapy. And how has that time been spent? Gracefully I say. Life has traveled through undulations of grandeur, dodging the deep pockets of all that has been handed to me on a golden platter: chemical recovery, emotional fallout, a compromised immune system, hot flashes, growing out my hair, and finally the surgery of reconstructing my female self. It has not been easy, and still today, it is not easy.
My daily dose of Tamoxifen is my reminder of survival. With every swallow I
think of where I have been and where I am going. I see the complexity of survival as being such an important issue. How do we, the many out there, make sense of our survivorship without feeling like we are lucky for being just where we are: walking the earth and not buried beneath the ground. You know what—I worked hard. I worked hard to be where I am. I lived connected to needles and tubes and bright pink chemicals for months so that I could be here today. I worked hard in my undertow for reality. It was the most real and difficult journey. And you were there with me.
Grace. That is what I call surviving. Grace. Can it be any more poetic than that?
It is beautiful and painful and bitter. It is the wind beneath my fingers moving slightly and magnificently. It is what gives me faith that I am the spirit of all my being. So thank you for being a part of my path. Thank you for the support and all that you continue to say and do to move me as my friend(s). It is the grandeur of my life that makes knowing you the meaning behind all that has come before, and all that will come after.
This will be my last entry on the Survivor Blog. I am finished. And I am complete, at least I feel I am. Now it’s time to be in health and in love and in gratitude. To be at another level. It’s time to move. Move. The wind beneath.

PROTECT YOURSELF OR YOUR FAMILY.
My Mom is a Breast Cancer survivor, I was about 11 when she got sick and that was really hard time for me and my family. She was strong enough to get true her illness without showing us that something was wrong, back then I didn't understand how much willpower and strength it took, but now I do and in my opinion that was very heroic.

Thank You Mom

In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I have decided to share my very personal and recent diagnosis. I encourage you to share this with friends and family on how important mammograms are for any woman 18 years old and up. Let's change the mind set of "no lump, it's all good" we need to educate and inform women of all ages.

Because my art is my therapy and helps me to deal with my emotions, I have created this piece in honor of my very dear old friend who has been fighting breast cancer and sadly cancer will not let go of her. She is being called home, free from pain and able to shine her beautiful light down on us.

Our long time friend died today and will be missed! She has been suffering from breast cancer and the vet came and put her down in our home.

This portrait photo, recently discovered anew in a photo archive, was surely taken by our father. He loved photography as a hobby.
No post-processing program for him to clone anything out, add anything in and I am claiming the tiniest share in this work by scanning in the original b&w print, cloning out the back of the chair and adding a simple frame to the photo.

This picture is an homage to all those women who are in these moments feeling the hardship of chemotherapies. For those who are seeing how their skin darkens because of the radiotherapies’ burns. For those whose hair is falling little by little, for those who are mothers and turn to see their children, thinking that maybe soon they won’t see them again. For those who think that life is over, just because they have lost one of her breasts or both. For those who face these hard moments by themeselves. For those whose partners have abandoned them, just because they don’t fullfill the requirements o a perfect body. For those who see their sisters, their mothers, their sisters, their nieces or any other family member or friend struggling with all their strenght to win the battle against this disease.
It’s been 10 years this month since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This year I post for the first time a picture of me showing my body, after going through 6 operations.
Many times people have left comments about my physique, words that I thank infinitely. Those photos are and will be an acknowledgement to all those women who have gone through this disease.
A woman does not stop being a woman just because she has a different “body”. My life is and has been wonderful. This month, medication for this disease has been stopped for me, and once again, a new life begins.
This picture is dedicated to my daughter, for her courage, for her love and her smiles, for being by my side every second, and for being the greatest motivation for me to fight an all-out war. For her tears, for her dreams and her smiles, THANK YOU, ALEJANDRA.
For my mom, who with all the pain on her heart, and her saddened eyes sae her daughter coming in and out of the operating room. For her, for healing my wounds, for helping me get dressed, for helping me to move, and for beinf always there by my side, fighting for me to eat, for me not to lose my smile, not to loose may battle. THANKS MOTHER.
To my doctors, who in the end didn’t even charge me, because I did not have the Money to pay them, To my friends who helped me with every peso they could afford for me to keep fighting to stay alive.
But most of all to God, because he never went away from me, and always gave strenght to push on.
To all of you, who have taken the time to read all this, for following me in this gallery, and most of all for your friendship.
Nath

P.S. I need to give you all a huge apology. This photo does not accept comments. I’m leaving the “notes” box open, in case you wish to leave a message to all the women that are today or have been in the past cancer patients.

Esta foto es un homenaje para aquellas mujeres que en estos momentos siente los embates de las quimioterapias. Para aquellas que ven como su piel se oscurece por las quemaduras de las radioterapias. Para aquellas que su cabello está cayendo poco a poco, para aquellas que son madres y voltean a ver a sus hijos pensando que quizá muy pronto no volverá a verlos. Para aquellas que piensan que la vida se ha acabado solo porque tienen un seno o quizá no tienen ninguno. Para aquellas quienes enfrentan solas estos momentos tan difíciles. Para aquellas a quienes su pareja las ha abandonado “solo” porque ya no cumple con los requisitos de un cuerpo perfecto. Para aquellas que ven a sus hijas, sus madres, hermanas, sobrinas o cualquier familiar o amiga luchando con todas sus fuerzas para ganarle la batalla a esta enfermedad.
Este mes se cumplen diez años que me detectaron cáncer de mama. Este años por primera vez hago publica una fotografía mía mostrando mi cuerpo después de haber pasado por 6 operaciones
Muchas veces han dejado comentarios respecto a mi aspecto físico, palabras que agradezco infinitamente. Dichas fotos son y serán un reconocimiento a todas aquellas mujeres que han pasado por esta enfermedad.
Una mujer no deja de ser mujer solo por tener un cuerpo “diferente”. Mi vida es y ha sido maravillosa. Este mes, me han retirado los medicamentos para esta enfermedad y comienza una vez más, una nueva vida.
Esta foto está dedicada a mi hija, por su valentía y fuerza, por su cariño y sus sonrisas, por estar a mi lado cada segundo y por ser el motivo más grande para que yo luchara a brazo partido. Por sus lágrimas, por sus sueños por sus sonrisas. GRACIAS ALEJANDRA
Para mi mamá, quien con todo el dolor de su corazón y sus ojos tristes vio como su hija entraba y salía de quirófano. Para ella, por curar mis heridas, por ayudarme a vestir, a moverme y estar siempre ahí sentada a mi lado luchando por que comiera, porque no perdiera la sonrisa, porque no perdiera la batalla. GRACIAS MADRE.
A mis doctores que al final ya no me cobraban porque yo ya no tenía para pagarle. A mis amigos que cooperaron con cada peso que podían para que yo siguiera luchando por seguir en esta vida.
Pero sobre todo a Dios, porque nunca se alejó de mí y siempre me dio fuerza para seguir.
A ustedes, que se han tomado la molestia de leer todo esto, por seguirme en esta galería y sobre todo por su amistad.
-La realidad es aquella que tu mente ve-
Nath
P.D. Les pido una disculpa muy grande. Esta foto no acepta comentarios. Dejo activado la casilla de “notas” por si desean dejar un mensaje a todas las mujeres que hoy son o han sido pacientes de cáncer.
Gracias
