It is surgery week! I will be having a double mastectomy this Wednesday morning, and I hope to come back to blogging soon! In the meantime, I will be taking a little break. I do have a few guest posts that I know you will enjoy while I heal.
I will be keeping my Caring Bridge site updated to let you know how it all goes. My prayer is –and can I ask for yours?— that all the tissue that is removed will be cancer free, or at least no measurable cancer areas, especially in the lymph nodes. We are praying that what has shown up on the MRI is scar tissue and not tumor. We will have test results back about 4- 5 days after surgery. If you are interested, please go to http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/amybowman/journal. for regular updates.
If you are a blogger and would like to guest post here at New Nostalgia,
~Please submit your post with attached photos to amysb963@gmail.com
~I will choose a couple to use the week of my surgery, and as needed the following weeks as I heal.
~I would like them to be on the subject of organizing, simplifying, or a healthy recipe.
~If I decide to use your submitted post, I will contact you and let you know when.
I want you all to know just how much you have blessed me by visiting me here at New Nostalgia. I feel so much love and support from you all!

Reading this post, now I know why.
