Janet's Story

I have been meaning to update my profile for years, but never seem to find the time to do it. I have lived in a Minneapolis suburb for the last 38 years. Minnesota is so different from California. We have everything culturally here that there is in L.A., but it's just on a smaller scale. I love the season changes! For those of you who I saw at our 40 year class reunion, what most of you didn't know was that I was right in the middle of radiation treatments for breast cancer. Because I was the 3rd generation to have it in my family, they decided to give me a heavier dose of radiation. Because of this, I ended up with Leukemia (AML with a sub-type of APL) the following Spring and spent almost 4 weeks in the hospital and out on medical leave for 8 months. This was in 2010 which was a really rough year for my family as my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer just before I started my 3 round of remission treatment and also cronic renal failure - stage 3..

e (health wise), all is good as I have been in remission for 5 years (which is the "golden number" for AML) and have had no reoccurances of breast cancer. Unfortunately my husband passed away on June 9th last year. We would have been married 38 years on Sept. 2nd this year. Shortly after his passing, we lost my mother on Oct. 17th. My oldest "child" (she's almost 35) moved in with us just before she went through a nasty divorce. It's been a blessing to haver her here and help out with all of the house maintenance stuff. She and I actually were trimming the trees in the backyard last weekend. In any event, I work for one of the major banks here in Mpls (in I.T.) and am very active in non-profit fundraising for the Minnesota Animal Humane Society and Make A Wish - MN. I'd sure like to catch up with those who sang in Ensemble at Sierra. Anyone know whatever happened to Mr. Scandlon? Here's hoping you are all doing well and I would love to hear from you. Jan
