Hello,

I am known as "Lyricist Lady" "Poetry of Love N Lyrics" I am a "Lyricist" and I have a beautiful website that I put all of my original  and Copyrighted Poems on and I design my own pages as well. The address is

http://poetryoflovenlyrics.com     

I truly believe I live to write and I write to live. I write about real true love and life experiences that we all go through here while on our journey on earth into heaven. I have been writing since I was 12, now 59. I always wanted to publish my poems in a book, but it is a small fortune and I know nothing about "self publishing", so I bought a computer and I thought it was great, cause that is the only way I can share my poems with everyone VIA Internet. I also write about illnesses ,pain and suffering. Everyone can easily relate to what I write. Writing is "My Legacy of Love", it has been great therapy for me..........it helps me focus on something else besides my own poor fast declining health. I would love it if you would visit, you're bound to find something you easily relate to it. I would really appreciate it if you would sign my guestbook too ! 

I was only 25 and I had left breast cancer and I had to have a

"Halsted Radical"............that is what they called it back then.

I never had chemo or radiation, they did not believe in them back then in 1976.  In 1978 I had a "Silicone Implant" put in.............of coarse back then...........every doctor said that it was  safe to have the "Silicone" was completely safe and It would  last forever.  "Wrong".................It exploded into my left rib cage and landed me in a "Pain Treatment Facility " and hospital bedridden for over a year.

Then I was diagnosed with so many multiple diseases, that I didn't even know my own body anymore, I felt like I was in someonne else's body. I had it removed in the very early 90's, but there was only a"film of silicone" that was in the shell when they removed it and replaced it with a "Saline implant. I asked where the "silicone" went to and the "Pathologist told me that she was very sorry to have to tell me the "bad news", but the "silicone" had gone all through me!!!  and there was no way of getting it out of my body either. She was so right!!!  My health took it's turn for the worst. I discovered a "mass" in my "Right Breast", in 2002 and I had a "mammo" done, it came back "positive" for "Mets", so I had a "Biopsy" done and the "Pathologist's report came back as "a mass of hardened Silicone". We were all shocked, and my Pathologist had to send the report with the "slides" to the "FDA", and they in turn had to send the report and a copy to "DOW-CORNING". Plus I had this sticky substance coming out of the bottom of my foot, my abdomen............all "SILICONE", now I know you heard all of the lies that were told my scientist's that were hired by "DOW", how "silicone" does not stay in the body or migrates to other parts of the body, well I am living proof that "SILICONE DOES MIGRATE TO OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY", I don't know how much longer I have, cause it has taken it's toll on me, cause I also have "Silicone Poisioning".

Okay now in 2004, I started having "severe" pain in my bones, I kept complaining about it, crying with it to my family and to my doctors,but no one was listening to me, they blamed it on "SLE LUPUS" flares, Osteo, and anything else they could think of. So I was in the hospital, and they ran every scan on me that you could think of, including a "Bone Scan and a "PET/CT scan" every scan came back "positive for "BONE METS". The the "Radiologist" did a "needle biopsy" on my "Right Sacrum".........it came back "NEGATIVE" my doctors  who are a team of "SPECIALISTS" and I were astonished, we could not believe that every scan I had donewith "Computer Imaging Tomography" came back "Positive for BONE METS", but the "Needle biopsy" came back negative !! So my doctors told me that it had to be "HUMAN ERROR" that the "radiologist" had to be "OFF"........and I would need another "Bone Biopsy had to be done in a "Different Bone" in a "Different part of my body".............that got put on the "back burner" "so to speak" and never had it "REPEATED"................Since then, I have had severe Cellulitis in both legs, Just about every month, sometimes twice a month, plus in 2000, i had my first "D.V.T."  DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS" , from my right groin all the way down my leg and into my foot, that liked to have killed me. So anyway, I have been in the hospital Via 911 so many times it's crazy. Like last year, I had to be taken to the E.R. via 911.........and admitted.....9 times and 3 times in a Nursing home for "Severe Cellulitis" in both of my lower legs. I have "Chronic D.V.T(S) , "Chronic Severe Cellulitis", Stenosis, hardening of the "arteries", plus I have had a total of 36 major operations.

My Doctors Finally Listened to me and saw my painful tears.

Friday a week ago, I had a "Bone Scan" done............Results came back "POSITIVE FOR BONE METS", my Oncologist called me last Wednesday to give me the news. She told me I had a "Bone Scan" in 2007 and they compared the two and there really wasn't  anything to compare cause the "tracers" were high on the Bone Scan I had done Last Friday. There is no question about it.........I do have "Bone Cancer". My Oncologist thought the "Primary " site was "my breast", since I already had "Breast Cancer", however........I also had a mammo last Friday, the "Breast" is not the "Primary site", my mammo was "Negative", so the big question is.............Where is the "Primary Site"? Yesterday I had a "PET/CT SCAN", and why they gave me a CD .......I have no idea............I like the black and white images on special "Photo gloss paper"........Those I could see plain as day, but the CD..............I don't know how to read the CD..........Please if anyone out there can help me and tell me how to use the CD in my PC, I really would appreciate it.  Why switch to the CD........the other was cut and dried, like looking at a photo.  All I see on the CD is the"TRACER" that lit up in several areas and those are the areas that my Oncologist told me about the results on the "Bone Scan" that lit up. Please if anyone can help me, it would be a true blessing to and and for me. My Lord.............all I can think about is "Have I had this "Bone Cancer" since 204 when they  first diagnosed me........and if I have had it  since then, I don't feel good at all !! If so, it must be a very slow non agressive type "cell". See I never did have that other "Bone Biopsy, like I said...........it was put on "the back burner" and just "forgotten" about................to me that is devastating news. I hope to hear from yo soon!

Thanks and God Bless!
