Cindy's Story

I left ML to go to school at CWU and became a Medical Technologist. Got married and had two wonderful children who are now adults. Kimi 22 just graduated from Purdue and Brenton 20 will be a Junior next year at Purdue. From CWU we went to Longmont, CO where I worked as a Med tech. We ended up moving back to the Tricities, WA and I went back to school to get an Ed degree. The back to Denver, Co to do some teaching and then we moved to South Bend, IN where I have been ever since. I got a job running a Medical Assistnat program at Davenport University and was there for 14 years. In that span of time, I managed to finish a MPA (Master's in Public affairs --- not what is sounds like --- it's in Health care Administration) and I also got a diploma in Massage Therapy and then went back and finished a Associate in Applied Science for Medical Assisting so I could contime to run the program. I did write and implement a Massage Therapy program for Davenport Univeristy. I got divorced when my son was a senior in high school... it was amicable, no lawyers... he just wanted to explore another life style. I switched jobs. I'm still in South Bend but now at Ivy Tech Community College overseeing 3 campuses and about 400 students again ...Expand for more
in medical assisting. I plan to implement a Massage program it IVY Tech as well. I got a little side tracked when I went in for my last femaile exam and they found a cyst on my ovary. Everyone thought it would be bengin but it wasn't. So I had surgery to remove all unwanted parts and am undergoing chemotherapy. They caught the cancer early (uterine stage 1B and ovarian stage 2B). My numbers for the tumor maker are improving at a phenomenal rate (before surgery 86.3, after surgery 24.5 and today (May22) just before #2 chemo treatment my result was 9.4!!! So I'm kicking the snot out of this cancer. I am in good spirits. The picture I posted is one taken two days ago after I cut off my long hair. Bummer! That's really been the only bad side...cutting my hair. I am feeling pretty good most of the time. This cancer may limit me for awhile but it will not define me and it certainly will not get the better of me. To be perfectly clear: THIS AIN'T GONNA KILL ME!!! I'm excited about life and living. Please do not send condolences.... although prayers and good wishes are always welcome. I hope to see many of you at the reunion.... I will be bald by then.... but I'll be saving lots of money on shampoo and hair care products!!
