I’ve been on Xeloda for one month and I just found out from my doctor my tumor markers have come down 500 points. This is the first time in 6 months that my tumor markers haven’t gone up. I’m so psyched! That’s all of us really need – a little good news! Spring is here, […]

Things have been a bit dicey for the last couple of weeks. PET scan showed some progression in my body so my doctor wanted to change the meds. We had a bit of a difference of opinion with regard to what drug I was going to take. One is a rather new drug called Ixempra

The 2nd official tour stop at Colorado Crossroads was an amazing site. 81 fund raising teams and about 2/3 of the teams wore pink. The kids, coaches, and parents were awesome and we thank them for their efforts. To day the tour has produced over $92,000 inching little by little to our goal of $400,000.

With our season right around the corner, I wanted to get my section up and running. We travel all over the country and I would love to do whatever I can do to promote awareness and support of breast cancer and a cure. At all AVP events I have been selling pink and white volleyballs

I have played volleyball since the age of 10. Growing up in Manhattan Beach, Ca. that is what we did every free moment especially during the summer. I played at Mira Costa High School won CIF and State titles, then played at Cal Berkley and won an NCAA title at UCLA in 1990.
I have been playing professionally on the beach since 1991 and have competed in three olympic games in beach volleyball. the highlight of my career was winning the bronze medal in Athens 2004 with my then partner Elaine Youngs.
Ove the years, I have been touched in many ways by cancer. I lost my young cousin Mathew Johnson at the age of 14 to Leukemia. My mother lost her best friend, Lauri Bernau to Breast cancer. I lost my grandmother, Dolores Johnson to breast cancer too after she beat it once and it came back 30 years later. Most recently, I lost a great friend and one of my best friend’s mother, Lenore Arce to breast cancer. It affects so many of us and touches our lives, but I know how important it is that we all work together to find a cure. Awareness is a key in the battle against breast cancer. Early detection can really improve chances of beating this disease. Please join me and the rest of the volleyball community when we host events, to join together and support one another in this common goal. I know that I have to give back and since I started working to help find a cure with my sponsor Wilson, I have become more dedicated to doing more. Wilson makes an autograph version of a white/pink volleyball that they sell at AVP events where 100% of the proceeds goes to breast cancer research. I am proud to have a great sponsor like Wilson who understands the importance of this fight!

My husband and I have been members of Blue Cross/Blue Shield for over 40 years, most of those years healthy. For the most part Government Blue Cross/Care First has paid our medical bills albeit painfully slow. Doctors in some case wait 6-9 months to receive payment. Of late the insurance companies are pushing back in
