Hi everyone. I haven't posted in a while since I was so busy wrapping up my spring class schedule. I was planning to take June off, but as it turns out, I'll be taking the next 6 months off. This week, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Next week, I'll start chemotherapy. I'm not going to use this blog for updates, but started a new site at CaringBridge, which is specifically for that purpose. You can read lots more info on what's going on, and stay up to date as my family and I will be posting frequent updates. Here's the site: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/moniquegriffith
Thanks so much for your support and prayers, and I hope to be doing more fun and creative posts here on this blog soon!!

Hi Monique,
I just got home from my 25th class reunion. I found out that one of my classmates had been diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago. It really hit home how we are all susceptible no matter what. She overcame and survived. I am praying that you will too!
Oh my gosh! HUGS and Prayers sweetie!

I was wondering what was going on! Will be praying!
i am so sorry to hear about this, i was checking in on the site to see whats new and i just figured you were on vacation. My prayers are with you and your family.
check out webnd.com not m but n. It provides a product called protocel that works with your body to break down cancer. just maybe for your own knowledge and its an alternative to chemo.
love you and praying for you.
I a so sorry to hear the news. My positive thoughts are headed your way!
Stay strong; you will be in my prayers
Praying for strength and courage so you can "fight like a girl." Also, here is a quote I found not long ago and gave to a friend who is fighting cancer: "Hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier. Author: Unknown"
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Our prayers are definitely with you.
I am so sorry. You will be in my thoughts. Stay strong and positive and I am hoping for the best for you!
you and your family are in my prayers! Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I am praying for you and your family as you begin this journey. I think you'll look great in a pink mohawk, by the way.
Monique - I really know what you are going thru - I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 - as you can see, I am a survivor! AND, I have no doubt that you will join the ranks of "survivor" very soon. Hang in there with the chemo and I will be thinking about you and you and your family will be in my prayers - this is quite a journey we are on, isn't it?

A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. There's no doubt that that you should publish more about this subject matter, it might not be a taboo matter but generally folks don't speak about such issues.
To the next! Cheers!!
