When Stacy emailed that someone by the same name as me had left a comment, I never expected it to be someone with the same first and last name! I too have typed my name into google before just to see what would come up....so, your not the only Melody Wasson with an ego! Ha! I have always believed that everyone who comes across my blog does not do so by accident. My blog was created to bring hope and inspiration to those affected by breast cancer. As you know, that includes those who have watched their loved ones fight the battle. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I just believe that a positive attitude has a lot to do with the outcome of certain circumstances in our lives. I had a choice to make after being diagnosed. I could be mad, bitter, and feel sorry for myself; or I could choose to know that having breast cancer at a young age would open doors for me that I could have never thought possible. Two years later, I am watching those doors creep open. May God bless your life abundantly! And...congrats to your mom on being a 35 year survivor! God is good! Blessings!

Typed in my name looking for some editorials I'd published years back and, BAM! I was completely moved to tears when I stumbled upon the story of your journey. Not only do we share the exact same name, my mother is a breast cancer survivor (35 years in remission. She's 80!). Since her original diagnosis when I was 14, I had prepared myself for the dreaded "inherited/genetic predisposition" diagnosis down the road. Turning 49 in September and still prepared. If indeed there is a God, may he grant me half the strength and fortitude you've mustered. You, my dear Wasson, are truly an inspiration and you have made this the most unwasted time I've ever spent "surfing the net". (Interestingly enough we were headed to the beach to actually surf but some thunder suggested that staying home would be more healing than any crummy day at the beach.) Keep on keepin' on sisterchild, Much Regards to you and yorn, M.J.Wasson Hello fellow Melody Wasson,

She had a clear mammogram in Nov. 09 and in March 2010 she noticed pain under her arm while working out. Your story gives me hope. My cousin got very sick from her 1st chemo treatment...but wasn't as bad w/ the 2nd. Hydrated well before it the 2nd time and went straight home to rest. Do you have any suggestion re: diet, etc. to help her through the chemo? I know this is very aggressive and I don't want to think about the possibility of her not beating this. She has a very positive attitude.... Any ideas would be appreciated. Carla Melody – my cousin was just diagnosed breast cancer – two types: triple neg. and her2.
