If I would just believe that I can master technology and the computer then I would not have panicked on Sunday when I tried to broadcast at
www.blogtalkradio.com/auntemmy. In a nutshell the shows, have to scheduled and had actually ended on 10-31-10! After trying to figure out what was wrong, I, all by myself figured out how to schedule the show for that afternoon. So sorry for the faithful listeners who missed me at 4:30pm. We did the show at 5p.m. and Sonia was on the Air.
As you know Sonia is the eldest of the 3 sisters and was diagnosed with breast cancer almost 10 years ago. She shared some of the effects that chemotherapy had on her- such as bone pain, but it was not severe enough to require medication and the doctor had forewarned her. She worked throughout the treatment, though at times the fatigue was tremendous, but her company allowed her to work for a 6 hour day instead of an 8 hour day and that was helpful. She spoke about the changes to her finger and toe nails and the numbness, especially in her fingers from the chemotherapy. She even lost the nail in her great toe. Sonia shared the need to talk- this is really a wonderful comment, coming from someone who at best does not share her feelings. A story about a women she met, befriended and listened to:. This lady had the changes in the breast which happens sometimes after a lumpectomy. She had not allowed her husband to see her breast. Eventually she did and at her discharge, she let Sonia a peach rose to say thanks for helping her get to that point where she could undress in front of her husband. Surviving is exciting and filled with activity, but the fact that the disease can recur is never forgotten. It especially becomes concerning when the time to have the mammogram, the scans, the blood tests roll around. What a relief when all is well. Really sorry you missed this excellent show, but we will do it again. Remember on November 21, 2010 at 4;30pm on Conversations with Aunt Emmy at
www.blogtalkradio.com/auntemmy , Dr Tihesha Wilson, Surgical Oncologist will be on as featured a guest
