Barbara's Story
I'm living in North Carolina right now. We have our house for sale ( it has been on the market for a year and a half). and have bought a house in Lebanon, Mo. and plan on moving back to Mo. once the house in NC. sells.
I have been with Avon Products for the past 39 years and am an Executive Unit Leader and have won cruises and a trip to Hawaii for my sales and recruiting.
My Husband retired from Roadway Express in 2007. We have been married for 39 years. We have one daughter, Kim, who will turn 30 in March of this year. She lives in Winston-Salem NC., about 9 miles from where we live. She graduated from UNCG and taught English in Paris in 2004. I was able to go to France and visit her while she was there. She is doing PHotography now.
Along with my Avon career, I have contracted 3 homes here. The last 2 I designed and contracted myself. They were our personal homes so I didn't have to be a licenced contractor.
Now if I could just get the last one sold we will be able to move back to MO where family is and live a simple life. I enjoy Scrappbooking and traveling....Expand for more
We have a motor coach and plan on traveling when we can get down to one house. THe house we have in Mo. has 10 acres and we already have had 5 calves there to raise that my husband's son looks after for us when we aren't there. We spend our time at both places...although most of the time we are in NC.
In 2007 I found out I had stage 4 Ovarian Cancer.. I had a very big surgery removing my Omentem, all female organs, appendix, gaul bladder, spleen, part of my liver and 2 sections of my colon. I was in intensive care 9 days and 3 weeks in the hospital. I received Chemo treatments and finished those in May of 2008. With GOD's grace and medical treatment I made it through all that. Have been well till recently my #'s began going up which is a sign of the presence of cancer... I have been getting scans regularly and nothing is showing up... So for now all is well... Would love to hear from classmates!!
Update 4/1/10 The cancer is back and I am starting Chemo treatments next week. Hopefully will get it taken care of with this next round of Chemo... will update later.
