Your layout took my breath away when I discovered it in the gallery today. Thank you for sharing this very personal story with us. My heart immediately went to you and I hope you are completely restored to health now. Even without your touching story, this LO is stunning. You did an amazing job and I hope it was therapeutic for you.
words can't even "touch" this layout-IT RAWKS! love the fabric notion touches and I never would've thought to use that CC paper in this way-I LOVE IT....and you are right, only You knwo when the time is right when it comes to scrapping the painful stuff..been there, done that
Unbelievably touching and inspiring lo. I feel so strongly for you. Hugs!!! I can't imagine how difficult a journey this must be for you and your family. I'll be sending positive thoughts your way.
This LO and your sharing it shows genuine strength and will. My heart and my prayers are with you for continued strength and healing. You are truly an inspiring and talented woman, powerfully impacting all of us here who are fortunate enough to cross your path. Thank you so much for sharing.
I had to say great job on the lo and fighting the biggest battle of a life time. It takes a strong person to get back to life. My husband has battled cancer for the third time this year so thank you for showing such a powerful page.
I haven't stopped and commented on layouts in a long time (so time consuming with a little one) but when I read this, I just had to say kuddos to you! I hope all goes well! Great layout, definitely added to my faves.
Beautiful page as are previous ones, marked as fav with me. Keep rolling with your work as you are really talented and hopefully it will keep your mind off your illness . My favourite artist in Australia came across scrapbooking by accident after losing a much wanted only child prior to it's birth, a nurse suggested she document her experience by scrabooking, she's now a leading speaker on the subject here now but has gone on to be an amazing scrapbook artist. You are already there talent wise but I can't help but compare, I hope all is well for you in recovery
Wow, what a powerful layout! So personal and beautiful and sad and brave. I am glad you are back to scrapping, hugs to you for your bravery during this battle. Don't ever give up!
I recently lost someone close to me to cancer. I applaud your courage and am stunned by your LO. Truly inspirational...thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Amazing Layout--I too am healing from the onslaught of cancer. Mine was breast cancer and your visit to the doc. resonates exactly. And also the period of time to step away from the things I love to do (scrapping) compares to me. I looked at your prior pages and am in Aw of your talent. Welcome back - you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
YOU ARE AMAZING, STRONG AND BRAVE WOMAN.!!! THE STORY IS AMAZING AND THE LO IS SUCH AN INSPIRATION FOR ME. THANKS FOR SHARING AND MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. HUGS ANGELA

For that last few years I've been a quiet, but consistent player on SBC. I disappeared off the radar entirely a couple of months ago when I found out I had cancer. Initially the exhaustion of surgery and treatment kept me out of my scrap room, then the depression of being sick all the time kept me away. Finally I decided this pity party had to end. This is my theraputic layout. TFL!! Journaling: "It's definitely cancer." Dr. Morrison continued on, outlining plans of treatment, but I could not hear him over the roaring in my ears. Cancer? I have cancer?! Then the word "surgery" finally broke through the fog. By the time I could focus on his words, he was out the door in a white-coat blur. The cancer was larger than expected. The surgeon gave me a lovely buzz cut from my ear to the top of my head. The incision was held together by 27 staples and countless sutures. Finally the entire ensemble was wrapped in a stylish guaze turban. While still awaiting further testing, I am hopeful that some swelling and bruising is the worst of what I will have to go through. Which is why 'Is that all you got?' seemed to me like the perfect title, as others I've loved have paid a much higher price. June 2008
