It is time for me to move on

Over the past two years, I have shared every moment of my breast cancer struggle. However, I think it is time I start sharing every aspect of my life. I am more than cancer. I have always been more than cancer and now I would like to start sharing those parts of my life with my family and friends who have so loyally followed my battle.

While The Detroit News has given me a chance to share my breast cancer experiences with you, I need to move to a new outlet that allows me to be a little more personal. It is time for me to move on.

I have honestly learned so much from readers over the past two years. I never felt alone because someone was always there to lift me up or give me more information or to make me stop and think about everything that was going on. This blog was truly a blessing for me and I can't thank you all enough.

My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 21. For all my loyal readers, I promise to update The Breast Monologues with my outcome. But as of Oct. 1, I won't be updating any longer. However, anyone who is interested is welcome to follow me at my new personal blog.

Thank you so much for following me and reading my story.

Moving On

Jodie-

Good Luck with your future beyond this disease. As a former Michigander, I was reading the News online one day, came across your blog and followed with you through the good and the bad. During the course of your postings I too was diagnosed but am thankfully nearing the end on my reconstruction too.

About this Weblog

Jodie Wilson was 26 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2007. Wilson, a page designer at The Detroit News, lives in Royal Oak with her husband, Bob, and their dog, Elle.
"I love anything that is just a little bit cheesy. I'm a hopeless romantic. I have faith. I love to sing in the car. I hate olives and turkey. I hate snow slush in the winter. I love short winters. I like to decorate my house. I have lived in Michigan my whole life. I love my family."
