Jameson, Cameron, and Chase – June 2012
Sal and Cameron – July 2012
So, we received some more good news today! My brain MRI came back normal. I only have cancer in 2 breasts…..nowhere else in my body! Yay!!! I’m feeling pretty good after my chemotherapy treatment from yesterday and I received a shot of Neulasta this afternoon. All is going well. Thanks to our wonderful family – Mom/Nanie, Papa Sam, Gram Hil, Aunt Tina and Uncle Pat – I was able to take a pretty long nap this afternoon. I can’t tell you how much Sal and I appreciate knowing that our children are being cared for so well during this time. It’a allowed us to spend time together coping with what’s going on. It’s also made it possible for Sal to accompany me to each test and every doctor’s appointment. We love our family and friends so much.
Team Barb Walk/Race: The following is some information regarding how to register:
TEAM BARB Update: A HUGE thanks to Diane Blaum, Katie Farrell, Hank and Nicole Aftewicz, and Dave Nockley for all that they have done for this! You all are the best!!
The pink “Join Team” button is no longer on the Komen webpage.
I called the Komen NEPA office today, and apparently they need time to “prepare the team packets” so they are no longer allowing new people to join. We came up with the following process which will still allow people not yet registered to walk with us on Sep 8th:
· Register for the Race For The Cure as an Individual. You can register to walk or run.
Here is the link to register:
· If you would like a TEAM BARB t-shirt, email Kate Farrell at cbfarrell@gmail.com
· Email me too at dblaum@dbteksoftware.com and I will add you to this distribution list for future emails.
· If you email your friends and family for donations, or want to make a further donation yourself, you can donate directly to TEAM BARB via the team page. Here is the link to the team page:
http://nepa.info-komen.org/site/TR?pg=team&fr_id=2739&team_id=226170
The only thing you won’t have is your name listed in the team roster, but if you email me I will keep you in the loop.
Also, donations made directly to you won’t get added into our team total, but that certainly doesn’t matter. It still goes to Komen Race For The Cure.
You can still wear the team t-shirt and walk with us!
Feel free to email me with any questions.
And please forward this to anyone you know who had issues yesterday or today trying to join TEAM BARB.
Regards,
Diane Blaum
I think that’s it for today. We’re looking forward to spending some family time together this weekend! Hope to see you at the race next weekend!

Hello Barb, I am saddened to hear about your fight with breast cancer but am estatic to see that you too are so possitive. I am a classmate of Lindsay Pietrolpola and I was diagnosed with between Stage I and II breast cancer on July 27. I placed a blog on my facebook page just to make younger women like us aware that we too are affected by breast cancer. I will be logging onto your site in support for you and your families fight, feel free to contact me anytime. If you just need to vent to someone who is fighting a similiar fight, I will be happy to help. I would not be doing as well as I am if it were not for my family as well. They are my rocks. God Bless you and your beautiful family.
Chris.
