Plastic Surgery Photo - People

My original diagnosis of breast cancer--IDC--in the left breast came in 2004; in January 2009 we found it in my spine. After major surgery I now wear a TLSO brace and use a walker while Marvin, my hero, applauds as I choreograph a new dance.

Hi There. I finially updated my photo with one that actually looks like me.I am 50 yrs old, an fine artist and a volunteer Bible Teacher. Yes, that's right...two carreers that make little to no money! I was selling quite a bit of my work until about a year ago, when the big financial problems started. I am originally from Michigan and have been living in the L.A. area since 1981. I have a cat...

I lost a kidney and have just recently found a path to take because a Doctor took the time to listen and realized I was not a hypochondriac or a big overly sensitive, stressed, depressed woman. (yes, lots of justified sarcasm). I was athletic, very lean and continued to stay fit by enjoying bike rides and playing recreational co-ed softball. However, when I started a family at 25, I had horrible...

I am a stay at home mom and my blog is dedicated to my 2 1/2 year old son, Joey who is blessed with a little extra chromosome called Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome and also to our little baby girl, Leah Rose, who is one year old.

I'm a healthy, vibrant and joyful person who owns a Pilates & Gyrotonic studio near the beach in Santa Cruz CA. Never having been sick in my life, I was shocked to find a lump in my right breast in June 2008 and was diagnosed with Stage 1 Grade 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. I had a lumpectomy in June 2008 and the aggressive cancer spread to lymph nodes requiring a second surgery in February...

I have had epilepsy almost my whole life. First from a high fever-febrile seizure. About a year later, came back hard...now back in the 70's fewer options, especially small town in MI. So Phenobarbital was the answer. My whole childhood had atypical absence seizures-felt them coming on. They took a brief turn in my teens (hormones) And with stress after I got married 1st time-they started to...

My Story I was taken to hospital mid December 2007 aged 45 due to having a grand mal seizure or fit. CT scan confirmed our fears of a brain tumour, 2.5 cm in the left parietal lobe. I had previously experienced a few discreet episodes of having difficulty talking and reading and the tumour was located in the part of my brain used for language. The tumour was on the surface of my brain so...

I was diagnosed with Lupus and overlapping Rheumatoid Arthritis in November 2008. Before this, I had been mis-diagnosed for about two years. First with bi-lateral carpal tunnel, then with the curve in my neck not being curved enough. I had hand surgery scheduled in July 2008 before my primary care physician suggested I cancel until more tests could be run.
