Wait...I have five more minutes!


"Welcome to Amanda's five minutes. Thanks for spending this time with me as we go through a series of treatments and surgeries to kick the butt of Breast Cancer...why 5 minutes? I always need five more minutes to clarify a conversation, to make my point, to drive to an appointment, to grocery shop. I live in that 5 minutes close call on being almost too late but almost always on time! Now, every next five minutes is the survival of my life. This is about a transformation of priorities, a journey of God meeting me in the middle, laughing as I go, and learning how to relax and get well. I just got a knock at the door, guess what my response was...Five more minutes!"

14 years!!!

Today is 14 years since I was first diagnosed with breast cancer.  I am doing well. For the last 9 years, I have been in doctors office getting treatments every 3 weeks, CT scan every 12 weeks, seeing doctor every 6 weeks. I am doing well on this medicine. It’s my understanding that the meds are no longer infusions like I get. They are shots now. Times have changed but we are not changing my regimen for now. 

I am blessed beyond measure. Grateful for my medical team and to God. Love my family and friends and I appreciate so much love and support over the last 14 years. It’s incredible.
