The stories of one woman's fight against breast cancer shared with the family, friends, and students she loves.

Betsy assures me that all will be well before my lumpectomy and lymph node removal surgery. I had to wait for four hours between the sentinal node injection and the surgery so the radioactive agents could make their way to the nodes. Gary, Betsy, and Lynne kept me company. (Katie was at class.)
Not long ago, I was simply a mild-mannered high school English teacher, totally disinterested in cyberspace; I left that realm to my students. However, on October 4, 2008, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Because I have such a wonderful, concerned support system—family, friends, and students—the idea of a blog was suggested to me by my Assistant Principal Melanie Sprouse. Actually, she was so enthusiastic about another teacher’s “Baby Blog,” she thought I needed something similar to share my experiences with those who care about me. Not only did she suggest the idea, but she actually created the blog spot for me! She and several of my colleagues aptly named my blog “The Tata Tales.”
