Even the French are Talking Peas

Loicseesmic Loic Lemeur, charming Frenchman who started the innovative video-conversation tool Seesmic sent me a link tonight, telling me to look at his blog. 

Not content with added frozen Peas to his avatar on twitter the background on this edition of his video blog is now chock full of petit-pois.

I can't wait for Friday to see what the Pea Fund think-tank and tag team has planned for us as they kick start some fund raising while I take a little nap in the O.R. to start the process of kicking my own cancer.

But I'm just sayin' . . .if Loic starts speaking French to the women of the internet we may need those frozen peas to keep the temperatures down.

About My Cancer

  • Invasive Lobular Carcinoma
    My form of breast cancer is less common than others. In fact only about 6 to 8% of cases of breast cancer are the invasive form that is based in the lobules, not in the milk ducts.

    Invasive, sometimes called Infiltrating, is a scary word. In most cases this form of breast cancer has been present for 8–10 years when detected by a mammogram or physical exam.

    In my case there was clearly an area that felt thickened or dense on December 6, 2007. A mammogram the next afternoon was not able to detect it but it clearly appeared on ultrasound and was confirmed by multiple biopsies the same day.

    During those 8 to 10 years the cancer took to become apparent to me, there has been plenty of opportunity for those invasive cells to get out of the breast and spread to the rest of the body.

    It is after all, by definition, an invasive form of cancer.

    Each year about 190 thousand women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the US and about 40 thousand women will die of the disease. The larger the mass is when discovered the more risk. Mine had tentacled almost 5cm into the surrounding tissue and two other areas in the breast were discovered as well.

    My chances of living another 10 years without cancer in another area are about 40%. The likelihood of one of my other underlying health conditions doing the job before that is 20%. it took a few months to get used to that idea.

    Now though my attitude is that at least I know what I'm facing. It's just not what I expected. Life changes in an instant.
