Tennis camp July 2015

Fun at Pebble Beach Tennis Club, Thanks Grandpa Bert.

Hi everyone, I am now in remission, my oncologist sees me every 6 mos. I have to get through next 5 years to be free from it returning. Everything on mammograms at this time looks clear. I have my reconstructive surgery and that has helped immensly build my self esteem. I so appreciate all of you for your support during my battle. It made a huge difference to me. Here is my family pic from Mother's Day. Lots of love from my daughter Lily. Reminder to enjoy every day truly live in the moment. I am a more humble person through this battle. God bless. Dawn

Dawn feeling good.

 Hi everyone,  I am coming around and getting back on my feet - reconstructive surgery done, just working on the final parts of the process for next 6 mos.  I am ever thankful for everyone's support always.  Talk soon. Dawn

Hi everyone, I have a positive outlook as I had my surgery last week. I am getting through the tough parts of the pain in this process. I am pleased with the results for sure. My outlook on life and renewed sense of who I am has been all positive outcome of this past 2 years. I am thankful now more then ever to have the friends I have surrounding me. My daughter Lily is a joy and brings light into my life. Chip and I have weathered some major storms and are doing better now then ever. I really can't say enough about my friends and family who all helped me stay sane through it all. God bless. I will keep in touch. Know that things are going well and I should be driving again next week before July 4th, hip hip horray. Hugs and lots of love. Dawn

Hi Everyone, Several calls and visits meant alot to me after my surgery, I am on bed rest and truthfully I am down hard. It is painful and the meds I am on make me unable to focus on work. Stay tuned, I will be in touch soon, just got back from 4 days at hospital. Talk soon Dawn

Hi everyone, it has been months since I have updated my blog. Lots of good progress going on as I heal from last years life changing event. I have been enjoying life, just got back from a work related trip that I tied in a weekend of relaxation and fun in San Diego along with the trip. That was a great time. Lily is growing ever so fast and already gearing up for first grade:) Time sure does fly. I am now on getting on with my life by having my reconstructive surgery June 11th, that will be a big undertaking as it is a year long process to rebuild myself. The first surgery is the hardest part so I am told. I am ready for this to be done and over with to put it all behind me in my rear view mirror. As I reflect back, I realize how many people stood by my side last year and I am thankful for each and every one of you my dear family and friends. Thank you for seeing me through the hard times. Chip, Lily and I are all doing remarkably well and again just appreciate the friendships that have developed some new and some old that we will always cherish. I am happy to enjoy such a beautiful place we call home, it is truly a gorgeous area to be living in. I also am blessed to do the kind of work that I find great rewards in and enjoy my work very much. I am grateful to be alive and well. Thank you, stay in touch. Loving life large, Dawn Aronson.

Dear Friends,

My journey with cancer has made me realize how important friendships and family are to keep them near and dear to your heart. Thank you so much for supporting me, tons of you have really reached out and contributed to helping me heal faster and with a great attitude because of the love I have felt from so many wonderful spirits.

I am off to the races, my energy is coming back, Feb. I finish my herceptin and then really just maintaining my hormone replacement therapy for the next 5 years to keep my cancer from returning.

I wish you all a Happy Holiday season. The best gift for me has been all of your love and support and I can't say enough about how much that has meant to me.

My business has been flourishing and I keep getting referrals and appreciate all the support of my partnerships and friendships developed from years of being in the business. It makes me so happy to be doing what I love and lucky I am for that.

Happy thoughts as I wish you and yours a Happy and properous 2012! God bless.

Hey everyone,

Long time to visit on here and update everyone.

Looking forward to celebrating with all of you to welcome 2012

Here is my wise one

Dawn Surgery tommorrow.

I am getting ramped up to have my ovaries taken out. They do it by laprascopy now so it is less invasive.

Thanks to all of my friends and family who have been through this walk all year with me, almost a year now Dec. 6th, so finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Loving thoughts to you all. My appreciation and gratitude remain as I am forever changed by everyone's outpouring over me during this past year.

See pics too. Love you. Dawn

Dawn surgery Nov. 3rd.

Hi Dear friends and family,

I am having surgery Nov. 3rd at CHOMP to get my ovaries taken out. A one day overnight and then I have a couple weeks to recover. I am glad to finally get this done. I am focusing on living life large and celebrating my recovery. Thanks for your support always.

Celebration.

Hi there everyone,

Celebrating at Disneyland was a nice time with family. So far a month has gone by and doing well. Next step is ovaries removed surgery and then a year of herceptin until Feb. 2012 and hormone replacement treatment as I have been joined into menopause.

I am off to the races again. Bye for now. God bless you all. Dawn

Dawn radiation conquest.

Hi everyone,

Yeah, I am done with this behind me on radiation mode another week until I will start feeling better and better each day. Hip Hip Horray.

Thank you to: Dr. Nancy Rubin my oncologist, words can't describe how much she has done for me in her expertise always with my best interest at heart. She is a friend for life!

Dr. Silk and Dr. Alexander will do my reconstructive surgery, so well on my way to the next step of this process.

I will have herceptin every 3 weeks and arimidex (for hormone replacement) a year or more on that.

My husband and daughter my biggest supporters deserve thanks as do all my many friends who showed up, family and friends have been instrumental in my recovery. You know who you are and I will reach out again individually since it is a long list.

As my client Mary rah rah cheerleader friend has been cheering, those little things are huge boosters to my day. My parents write me cards and send me e-mails weekly, that has been helpful for me to know they are there.

Happy thoughts to you all and thank you again and again. Dawn

The loves of my life. Things are looking up in my feeling close to the final stages of radiation and relaxing at home this weekend with my family.

Sure do feel blessed for all the people in my life who have made my journey with me.
So many that I will thank you all individually.

4 days left, yeah. Aug. 9th. Lily starts Kindergarten at Olson Elementary next Wed. It will be another 2 weeks for the radiation to subside as it continues treatment after the laser.

I am getting there. Thanks all for your support. Hugs and chat soon. Dawn
