The people who support me keep me going

This is just a small post to thank everybody for their support of me. Without a wonderful husband who rubs my pains away, without my friend Liz who is running her second Cupid's Undie Run on behalf of me (and who also kept my husband company while I was in surgery last August), and if it weren't for my good doctors and my friends and of course my FAMILY who weren't there for me, I don't know what I would do. I am constantly grateful for your support- you listening to my whining, etc etc.

I see my new obgyn soon (the 18th) who will hopefully shed some light/insight on my ilio-inguinal pain and how I can deal with it.  I am positive this started slowly with the NF tumor near or on my genito-femoral nerve, and then got worse with surgery. I'll see. At least I have a new pain doctor who wants to help me through this too.

Anyway, if you were brought here from Liz's link on her donation page, feel free to ask me any questions! Take care, much love!

First Blog

Thus beginneth my first blog with Blogspot. I am interested to see who will actually read/follow this blog, especially once I get it up and running. While I will be writing about a lot of things, I will focus on my life with NF and my life as a stomach cancer survivor. I know I am not the only person in this country with NF or who has had stomach cancer, so I wanted to start this blog as an outlet in hopes to find other people out there who go through similar things. Stay tuned for more musings and rantings. I rant a LOT. A LOT.

Incredibly Thankful

Dear Everyone: Your response to my "confession" blog was, for lack of a better word, overwhelming. The stories you shared with me via your comments or in private... they mean more to me than I can describe. It was very hard to "come out" as someone with an eating disorder. Anyway. I'm working through it. And I'm so grateful to have so much support. So I want to dedicate my extremely, overly sappy Thanksgiving blog to all of you, my readers, my family and my friends. To my family/(including extended and John's family): Thank you for being you. I know we Higginses have gotten stronger with the loss of Jimmy. It still hurts. We all still hurt. But we are stronger together. I know we don't always get along, but we are always family. And especially to my siblings- you all  mean so much to me. I cherish you and each of you inspire me in different ways. Anyway, I always reflect back on the fun times we've had and I know we'll make fun memories...

My Stomach Cancer Survivor Confessions

November is Stomach Cancer Awareness month, so I thought I should write something about how I still deal with the effects--- 7 years later.  So, friends, here, on this blog, I am telling all of you for the first time (because I have recently been reflecting on it and only now owning up to this- I haven't even discussed with my therapist but I will)....I am almost certain I have a stomach cancer induced eating disorder. This will be VERY LONG so bear with me, and if you read it, I appreciate you! I have been working on this post for DAYS and I don't know how it's going to be perceived, so I am making myself very vulnerable to you right now. I can't really write about my self-diagnosed eating disorder without explaining again everything I endured when I was recovering from surgery. I know many of you remember my trials and tribulations of eating and all I went through, but many don't know because I have recently met you, so here is my story. I think ...
