Thursday, January 13, 2011
Welcome to my newly designed blog! Hope you like it! And today just happens to be the very last day of my treatment for Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Over the past 7 months, I have gone through chemo, double mastectomy and twice-daily radiation. It's hard to believe that I am reaching the treatment "finish line" today, and can finally move on with my life and what I love to do - design with my Cricut!
Here is a video that my friend Stephanie made to celebrate this day! Thanks, Steph!
Keep checking back. We have so much in store for you on this blog! And don't forget the live UStream video HERE on Friday night at 6pm PST (9pm EST). There will be lots of prizes, and at least one of them will be chosen from the comments you leave on this blog post.

What a FABULOUS slide show! Stephanie outdid herself (and made me tear up too.) I've followed your journey all along and am glad it's coming to an end. What a beautiful way to celebrate!
Paul also did a TERRIFIC job on the blog.
Way to go Monique! You are a ROCK!
Congrats on completing your treatment.. All the best to you in the year ahead.
What a beautiful and moving tribute slide show! While I've seen most of these photos over the past 7 months, it still amazes me to see that you had a beautiful smile on your face throughout your entire journey. Your daughter, as well as the rest of us, is so lucky to have you as a role model for what a strong determined woman is.
I look forward to visiting this blog frequently, to continue to be inspired by your amazing designs, which will hopefully inspire me to kick my scrapbooking skills up a notch.
And now...I'm on my way to my annual mammogram :).
You should have seen the look on my 14 year old daughter's face when I explained what that was and how it's done!
Wow. What a way to start my morning with tears running down my face. What an amazing tribute and what an amazing woman you are Monique. The smile on my face couldn't be any bigger right now while watching your video. Inspiring. Inspiring. Inspiring. That is what you are! God bless!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. You are a strong woman and sometimes holding on to each other's strengths is necessary to find the inspiration to keep going forward. Today I feel as if your strength has uplifted me and helped me put some things into perspective. May you be blessed!
That was a beautiful slide show. It brought tears and smiles to me and left a piece of my heart feeling like I know you, just by following you. I wish all the best! You've beat this. Congrats!

What a truly inspiring video! Tears just ran down my face to see how courageous you have been! Your friend did a great job on your video and I love your new blog. BTW, I'm a cancer survivor myself - so glad we're beating it!
You are such an inspiration Monique! The new blog looks great, I can't wait to see what you are doing.
Hugs,
Beth
So happy you are reaching the end of this journey. I remember my last treatment was meant with mixed feelings, while I was so happy it was over, I was scared to know that nothing else was being done, that now I had to walk this journey alone. Instead of this negative feeling I joined the Canadian Cancer Society and became a peer counselor, that was truly rewarding, and I stopped feeling I was walking alone.
Well done, cherish this day.
Wow - love the new title - quite a change from the old one. Looking forward to the always wonderful, awesome creations you and the gals come up with.
Maureen
Monique, You finished well!! I read your blog almost everyday over the last 7 months. It turned out to be a great help and comfort to me, when we discovered that my husband had cancer and he too would be going through treatment and surgery. It gave me insights that I might not have had without your blog. Thank you, Grammy GG--your Oregon friend ;0
Monique, I've followed your journey daily. You are one incredible woman, I don't know if I could be that strong. I pray that you can now get on with your life and be healthy.
I won't be able to make the live u-stream, I have to go out of town. Bummer!
The video wouldn't work for me, I'll come back later to check it out. Shari (cricutrookie)
Steph did a great job on the video! Love seeing you back!
Congrats on finishing the radiation. Now you can begin another chapter in your wonderful life. LIVE, LOVE & LAUGH !!!!!!Been there done that and you really should celebrate. I'm a 14 years survivor and I celebrate every day. I know you will also. Glad to be the first to comment. Looking forward to the live broadcast tonight.
That was a truley insiring video, I am so happy for you!!
This video has touched me in a way I can't describe. I have followed you on your Pink Journey and have prayed for you every step of the way! You are such a strong woman! You have become an inspiration to others! You should be proud of that. It's horrible that you had to go through all that you've gone through, but in turn, you've motivated women to get checked and possibly helped save many lives because of that! That is such a great thing! All I have left to say now is....You go Girl! Keep up the wonderful work! You are a blessing to all that know you and know of your journey! God bless!
Awesome video - what a treasure you and your friends are!!
Blessings,
Nancy M
CONGRATS!! I have been praying for you! I LOVE the video! You always look so happy! You must be so inspiring to those around you. I wish I could afford a ticket to CA. I'd love to join you in your next walk!

I am so happy for you Monique, Great video brought me to tears. My Husband and rock is currently fighting Malignant Teratoma,A form of testicle cancer. He has had 3 surgeries so far the last being removal of a wedge in his lung, so far so good next body scan will be a big one for us as we are thinking positive that it will be gone. The only cure is removal they said so chemo would only slow it down from our understanding and radiation was not an option.I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Hope to tune in for u-stream if I can remember,

Love the new blog, looking forward to seeing some AMAZING creations from you in 2011!
OMG, Monique. What a great new blog you have - so cool and reminiscent of Tim Holtz,your favorite guy (besides Jared of course!LOL) I was in tears looking at the slide show Stephanie made.

By the time you read this you probably will have done your last radiation treatment! Woo Hoo!!!!!! I've been following your Caring Bridge and blog and have been praying for you for so long - God must have heard all our prayers - there's no way we could do without your infectious optimism and bright outlook!!!

Congrats on finishing treatment. I am from the Cricut boards and have followed your CaringBridge page. You are an amazing strong woman and I am so proud of how upbeat you stayed. The slideshow was so touching as you always had a smile and were surrounded by so many caring people. I hope we can find a cure for this nasty disease and I hope the first day of the rest of your life was great!
I'm so glad that your treatment is coming to an end! I can only imagine what it's been like for you. Congrats!
You are a true inspiration! God Bless You! The blog looks great!
CONGRATULATIONS! You did it girlfriend!! I'm so SOOOOOOOOO very proud of you. You only whined a couple times. lol
You have to know that a big part of the success of your treatment has to do with the fact that you had the most positive attitude going into it. You didn't lose your faith and you had a lot of support along the way too. I'm so very happy with your success with kicking this bad ol' cancer in the bum and telling it where it can go!
Rock on sistah!
Beautiful tribute, beautiful new blog, and a beautiful smile. Good luck to you as you get on with your life. Can't wait to see what you have in store for your followers. Thanks for sharing your inspiration.--Ryansmaama

I'm so happy for you. I've known so many people fight this form of cancer and many others. It takes such courage, strength, family, friends and faith to get through. Many prayers are with you. I hope to be at your Ustream tomorrow, but for some reason I always seem to miss them at that time on Fri. Hope to catch it though. congratulations.

Yeah for you! I just passed my 1 year clear anniversary and I can understand some of the excitement you are feeling. I loved 2 things about the video. First it was from a friend. What an awesome group of friends you have which must come from you being such a good friend. Second, I think in every picture you were smiling. I don't how you did it through all the chemo and twice daily radiation, but AWESOME, AWESOME job.
Here's to your cancer free future.
Congrats, I too am a survivor and appreciate every free day from the disease. I'll keep you in my prayers to remain cancer free
Wow!!! Bless your heart....you have been through alot this past year!!! But you smiled in all your photos and you look awesome....what strength you have....No pain is wasted where Christ is concerned!!! Have courage through Him and know that he is always with you!!! You are a blessing to others when you share your testimony,how awesome!!! You have a beautiful family....God Bless you! Keep making your lovely creations and I look forward to seeing them!!!

You did it!! So happy for you. Faith, a smile and a positive attitude make all the difference don't they? you should be so prould of the way you carried yourself! I wish I had found your blog sooner ( I am a 35 year old diagnosed with breast cancer in July had a double mastectomy and finished up chemo in December :)and now have a clean bill of health too!)
All my best to you! Looking forward to see how you can inspire my scrapbooking with my new E!
alewis@longlines.com
So happy that you are through with your treatments. I went through this last year so I know some of what you've been through. Take care and I will be praying for you to remain cancer free.
Blessings to you and all others who are going through the trials of such a nasty disease. My grandmother as well as my sister both had breast cancer, and both survived it. I congratulate you on your long journey and cannot think of a a better way to celebrate than having a party. Unfortunately, I will not be able to join the live event (drats) as I am already committed to other things for tonight.
As a new Cricut user ( almost a week now), I enjoy events such as this. I have spent the last few weeks looking through blogs and other information to inspire me. And I have found that here, all the information on your blog has been very helpful and informative. You are such an inspiration to the rest of us. Gods speed in the rest of your life - you have beat the odds.
Is there a breast cancer awareness cartridge? I would love to have this to create cards of encouragement for friends i know going through the same thing.
Kimberly
Congratulations....major HUGS and HAPPY NEW YEAR AND NEW YOU....so glad to hear your good news..it gives me goose bumps. Way to go.

You are a TRULY amazing and inspiring woman! Love your new blog!!

Congrats Monique!!
LOVE LOVE the slide show!!! What a tear jerker!!!
Congrats, Monique, for the long journey. You are a great role model! You gave me strength to live day to day.
love this book - thanks for sharing - I' watching your ustream right now.
The slide show is so touching. I think it should go "viral" or whatever it's called---for more people to see it. I'm so amazed that you did all you did while going through the treatments, pain and suffering and add in the hand issue! It's as if you never said "I Can't". You have blessed so many by sharing your journey.
Great slideshow! Congrats on finishing your treatment! Best Wishes for the year ahead!
Beautiful slide show!! Your daughter has your wonderful smile! Love your blog! Lynn
Big congratulations on being at the end of treatment. What a relief for you.
What a wonderful video montage. It brought tears to my eyes. I am an ovarian cancer survivor. When I was diagnosed in 2000, the best long term scenario was 3 years. Then they (whoever that is) increased it to 5 years. It is now 2011 and I'm still here! God wasn't ready for me yet. Thank you for sharing your story.
Wow! I just watched the video, and being a new follower had no idea about the person behind the "pretty, cool stuff" I was admiring. I was sobbing, to be sure. (I lost my mother and MIL both to cancer.) Great job kicking cancer to the curb! Great slideshow. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Monique! In watching this video I realized that cancer never stopped you. You know that I have followed this journey with you. I thought in reading the many daily pages of your journal I had gotte the essence of you. I did not! In this video I saw a woman having fun, making friends,and very much on the go. Others with cancer stay home and allow themselves to be sick. You did not! If I didn't know better I would say cancer saw the blood of the lamb on your door and passed you by. You are incredible! Love ya!
