With the paper completed I feel accomplished. I am still not a fan of writing but I do feel like I did accomplish something with all that I have been doing these past weeks. I do not believe my ideas of writing changed. The other topics I would like to research next time is Ovarian cancer and the effects it has on the person and their family.

I never had someone post a comment to my blog so I really cannot tell you how I feel about it. I am not sure on wither I will continue to blog when this course is over with. I might continue they say that it’s good to journal your thoughts and this year has been a hell of a year with tons of emotions.

Its been a busy week with Carl getting ready to go to JRTC. I miss him already but glad his gone, he was starting to hover this past week. I am more than capable to do the things to keep the house running and do the man jobs for 3 weeks.
The Ah Ha factor when working on my project was when I was trying out the different formats of prewriting techniques. I found that I was more comfortable with incorporating many of techniques than just one of them. One of the things I found shocking in my research was how many women a year are diagnosed with breast cancer and that I am not alone when it comes to my body image after everything being done to prevent it from reoccurring.

A late post

One thing that is an academic challenge is my memory. Days are running into each other recovering so I forget what day it is. It’s not like I am meaning to but when you’re on as much medication as I am it’s hard to concentrate or stay awake. I weaned myself off the meds so now I have a clearer mind and trying to take notes to remind me of things I have to complete. I even have set my phone to remind me of things due. I am going to attempt this but I am going to get week ahead of myself so I stay in top of things and only have to worry about the discussion post to my classmates.

It has been a very stressful 6 weeks for me. With 2 surgeries and school it was very hard to balance my time and energy. It’s sad to say that school came 3rd on my priorities. But thank goodness these past 2 weeks I was able to catch up and complete my final project for one class and working on the second one this week. Just so I can get everything caught up before I see the doctor on Friday. Hopefully it’s good news and not what we are thinking it is. I hate having to worry about the cancer popping up in another part of my body. I have fought so hard to survive these past months and watch a grandmother pass away and sisters go through surgery because of that stupid gene we have. What are the odds of 4 girls in one family having breast cancer all within 12 months? Crazy huh.
