I am back from a little Thanksgiving vacation to my son and daughter-in-law's house. We had a wonderful time with them. While I was there I had my measurements taken and a photo taken. Both were sent on to the Emerald Dream Team. I still can not believe that I am actually going. During the day I can go about my business but at night my head begins to swirl with all that I have read about that is in store for us. I will update this blog as I get more information. I am excited to be able to share this experience with everyone.
Meanwhile I must concentrate on the business at hand. I received my packet from the IBC Research Foundation. Once I concentrate long enough to complete this packet it will allow me to become part of the bio bank. This is (as I understand it) a bank of information/ tissue samples/ lab results etc. that is accessible to researchers who wish to study IBC. I believe that participating in this is one way in which I can make a difference. I know it won't be a simple process but nothing worthwhile is simple. I would like to encourage anyone who is reading this to consider looking into this. It is not just for women with IBC. The researchers need comparison information also. As i understand it this is a one of a kind bank. By making this information readily available to researchers it encourages research. www.ibcresearch.org

Hello Priscilla, I too am one of the "Lucky 12" to win the "Emerald Dream Experience". I still can't believe it myself. This is what we receive for all that we have gone thru. Watch out Las Vegas because 12 women are coming to conquer the town.....
