Hellooooo ~ I am a newbie BC Survivor. Dx 2/05 ~ Bilateral Mastectomies 3/05, 4 A/C, 4 Taxol, last chemo July 6th. I have joined Portland, Oregon's WASABI Team SOAR and have been paddling 5 weeks. Went to my very first race in Bellevue, Washington this weekend. What an experience. I encourage everybody to consider this. I almost declined and then was told by my hubby and other BC survivors ~ don't pass it up ~ don't want to have woulda, coulda, shoulda. So ~ Yes ~ I am a Dragon Boater now and love it!!! I plan to travel with the team racing so perhaps we will meet up one day. I will get next years schedule tomorrow ~ but I know I will be going to Florida August 2006 and hopefully to Austrailia summer 2007. I hear there is Singapore is in 2006 and Toronto too. I had a wonderful time this weekend. Only 2 months ago I was still in bed, unable to sit up for more than an hour during my chemo. I have been doing pilates for 3 weeks now, yesterday I was power walking, exercising and racing and winning not only the races but winning ME back ~ MY life! I am so excited! A fellow BC sister from the AOL boards linked me to this posting. I would love to receive emails from any other Dragon Boaters ~ Muuuuah ~ Love, Pond Thank you ~ (PondMermaid@AOL.com)
