Getting back out there!

After what seems like a very long time, Chris and I started back on our running schedule last night! Our evening runs are 4 miles. It was not easy nor did it look pretty ( nothing like the marathon runners we were just 4 months ago:) . But after Surgery, 25 more radiation treatments and several new medications we are so thrilled and thankful to be back out there once again! News of what is next for the two of us coming soon.... it will be exciting!

"Like all humans, you carry within you awesome survival mechanisms. All you need is the knowledge to trigger them. Once triggered, they will provide you with all the energy and health that you need to better survive. Take advantage of your innate power. Nourish yourself properly, live better, and live longer". - Ori Hofmekler

According to Eric Winer, MD, chief scientific advisor to Susan G Komen for the Cure®, the treatment of metastatic breast cancer has evolved dramatically over the past 10 years, and will evolve even more in the next decade. "I look forward to a time when metastatic breast cancer will be entirely manageable with well tolerated therapy. It may be quite some time before we can cure metastatic disease, but women with metastatic breast cancer can expect to live far longer and far better in the years ahead than in the past. "
