Palbociclib: Pfizer Breast Cancer Drug Approved
Pfizer Breast Cancer Drug Approved Though I’m sure that you already know this, I thought that I would share the BIG NEWS in the FBC (f-bomb breast cancer) world: the Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to Palbociclib (Ibrance) for use in combination with the drug letrozole (Femara) for the treatment of postmenopausal women with… Continue reading Palbociclib: Pfizer Breast Cancer Drug Approved
Mastectomy vs. Lumpectomy
Recently, I came across a fantastic article about choosing between having a mastectomy versus a lumpectomy for early FBC. Making any one of the seemingly bagillion decisions that have to be made after hearing the words, “You have cancer” can be overwhelming, confusing and twinkie-eating inducing. Just kidding on that last part. Sort of.… Continue reading Mastectomy vs. Lumpectomy

Coming home has definitely… Continue reading Weekend Inspiration
Eleven Days by Lea Carpenter
Bookworm: Eleven Days by Lea Carpenter Thanks to the recommendation of a bibliophile friend, I have just finished Lea Carpenter’s book, Eleven Days. Wow. It’s a great one! The book opens with a middle-class, hard working single mom, named Sara who “is no longer sure what she fills her days with” because her only son,… Continue reading Eleven Days by Lea Carpenter
Bookworm: My Last Supper
This Christmas, one of my dear friends gave me an absolutely wonderful and delightful book, My Last Supper. In the book, (the photographer and creator) Melanie Dunea asks famous chefs what their last meals would be. No, it’s not macabre (for the record, I love using that word!). Rather, it’s quite inspiring and amazingly beautiful.… Continue reading Bookworm: My Last Supper
Bookworm
The other day, I was going through Sweetly Six’s bookshelves and came across this book, Radiation Sonnets. WTF is THIS doing HERE, I wondered… Well, as with all things, I presumed that I was supposed to see this (book) when I was supposed to see it. I don’t remember buying this book, which means that… Continue reading Bookworm
