Breast Cancer Support Groups MCCrea Golf Benefit for OCRF NOVANT Breast Center And Advanced Collaborative Care
On the Cover: Tending to her extensive collection of plants, Kathy Hickey has a lot of life to celebrate. Twenty years after beating breast cancer in 1991, she was blindsided by a diagnosis of a rare and dangerous form of sarcoma called Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor of the uterus that was caught by Dr. Wesley Hodgson of Fauquier Hospital. After surgery came nearly a year’s worth of chemotherapy treatments administered by Dr. Jey Maran, that brought her to the Novant Health Cancer Center at Lake Manassas & Virginia Cancer Associates as many as six times per week for many hours per visit. “I feel like I got to know everyone there pretty well. It could have been under better circumstances, but I really felt like the patients and staff were walking this journey together. They didn’t give up hope, and neither did I.” Now, having been finished with treatments for close to two years, Kathy is happily pursuing her favorite hobbies of gardening, knitting, and taking art classes with renewed passion as she says, “Every day is a gift.”
From the Editor: Okay, truth in advertising… The beautiful cover model of this month’s issue is a very special person to me. Kathy, my mom, has shown a strength and perseverance of spirit through life’s challenges that is a total inspiration in my life. Walking with her during her recent cancer journey taught us so much about our faith in God, our love for each other as a family (especially my Dad’s unfailing love, support and superior omlette making skills), and the importance of keeping a sense of humor. We also formed a deep appreciation for those who have dedicated their professional lives to the fight against cancer. Without their countless hours of study, collaboration and real dedication to the fight, we know that we would not be where we are today. In particular, I would like to thank the oncology nurses, patient support specialists, and staff of the Cancer Center. Your attentive, thoughtful, and cheerful care carried us all through some of the darkest days, and showed us that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you. Thank you for saving my mom.

THE GARDEN
Lady
Plant Hope by Lynne Galluzzo
Coming Full-Circle in Gardening and Recovery
W
hen the editors of Haymarket Lifestyle Magazine asked me to write an article for this special issue, they didn’t know that I am a cancer survivor. About eleven years ago I was treated for both cervical and breast cancer. They were diagnosed within a week of each other – not a great period of my life. But to be a cancer survivor means that you are tough, and gritty, and loaded with hope and optimism. In the garden, the most optimistic and hopeful thing you can do is plant bulbs. Taking a small brown nugget, putting it in the ground in October and expecting a delightful flower to show up in that space in May really is the epitome of optimism. The really neat thing is that if you plant the right bulbs in the right places you actually do get rewarded for your time and faith. Anemones have to be the very most optimistic of all the bulbs. An Anemone bulb looks like a dried up piece of poop. It is impossible to discern a top or bottom. Yet, every time I drop one of these into the dirt in the Fall it shows up in the Spring with a big, colorful face and pretty fringed foliage that doesn’t get floppy and annoying. I like to add an Anemone bulb in the same hole as a Daffodil because it saves time and space and because it is so much fun to create color pairings. Blue Anemones look great with yellow Daffodils. Red Anemones are fabulous with white or pink Daffodils. Add a few Hyacinths to this mix and the spring show is amazing. The neat thing about Hyacinths is they come in just about any color you can imagine. So you can have dark purple Hyacinths with the blue Anemones and yellow Daffodils or light blue Hyacinths with white Daffodils and blue Anemones. There are endless possibilities including the dramatic impact of all white bulbs in front of dark green Evergreens. The added bonus of these three types of bulbs (and rather essential around here) is that all three are deer resistant. No selfrespecting animal, no matter how hungry, would ever consider an Anemone bulb as food. And the Daffodils
and Hyacinths are non-edible members of the onion family. It is very easy to keep these bulbs happy and coming back strong every year. Unlike the poor Tulip that fizzles out after three years at the most, these bulbs multiply and get better every season. Plant them where they will get sun, even after the trees and shrubs leaf out. These bulbs do not thrive in shade. Plant them where they will not sit in water; as they will rot if soil conditions are soggy. Spring is the time to sprinkle on some low-nitrogen fertilizer when shoots are emerging. Leave the foliage for at least eight weeks after the bloom has faded. It is through the leaves that the bulb is getting and storing the energy for next year’s flowers. I cut my Daffodil foliage back by half when it gets floppy. This is much better than braiding or tying. I once planted 250 assorted Daffodil bulbs in the corner of a yard. Every Spring they come back bigger and better, and when the foliage is yellowed, they just mow over the whole area. I have survived cancer and I have planted thousands of bulbs. I will plant more bulbs this fall and I truly believe that they will be beautiful flowers in the Spring and that I will be here to see them.

History
Remembering ‘The Belle of the Battlefield’ Lucinda Dogan’s charity and compassion earned her a place in history By John T. Toler
M
LUCINDA LEWIS DOGAN 1817-1910
ost of the people from Prince William County who figured prominently in the Civil War are remembered for their actions on the battlefield. But there are others who never fired a gun or picked up a sword who are equally deserving of our respect – and remembrance. One such person is Lucinda Mitchell Lewis Dogan (1817-1910), who lived in a small house near the epicenter of both the First and Second Battles of Manassas. The kindness and compassion that she showed to the wounded and dying from both sides later earned her the title, “The Belle of the Battlefield.” Lucinda Lewis was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Lewis. She was born at Mt. Pone (later renamed Paradise Farm), the family homeplace that once stood on a rise near the intersection of present-day Ashton Avenue and Sudley Manor Drive in Manassas. Those who knew her in her youth recalled “...her dark, handsome features, erect carriage, directness of speech and
12
general poise and manner,” according to an article in the July 22, 1910 edition of the Manassas Journal. “At the same time, she made friends easily, and held them fast.” In addition to Lucinda, the Lewises had three more daughters: Mary, Bettie and Addie; and a son, Benjamin Franklin (Frank) Lewis. It is known that when Lucinda was 18 years old, her father called her outside to see Halley’s Comet as it flashed over Mt. Pone in November 1835. In 1842, Lucinda married William Henry Dogan Jr. (1795-1854), the son of W. Henry Dogan Sr. (1759-1823) and Mary Wheeler Dogan. Henry Dogan served in the 11th Virginia Regiment of Foot under Col. Dan Morgan and other commands during the Revolutionary War. He purchased the Peach Grove property, located northwest of the intersection of present-day U.S. 29 and Featherbed Lane, from “King” Carter descendant Mann Page III in 1787. The hamlet known as Groveton took its name from Peach Grove. Upon Henry’s death in 1823, the property passed to his wife Mary, and in the 1830s, became the property of William Henry Jr., at the time a widower with a young daughter, Mary Jane Dogan (1839-1891). After their marriage, William Henry and Lucinda lived in the stone house at Peach Grove Farm, then consisting of 586 acres. They successfully farmed the land, and had eight children while living at Peach Grove. In 1854, they sold a strip of land 80 feet wide and 4,245 feet long that ran through their property to the commissioners of the Manassas Gap Railroad. Excavation soon began for a new rail line, which was to link Gainesville with Alexandria by way of Sudley Mill. Tracks were never laid, and the earthworks that crossed the Dogan property would become legendary during the Second Battle of Manassas as the “Unfinished Railroad.” Sadly, William Henry Dogan died later in 1854. In his will, he gave Lucinda the main house at Peach Grove and 170 acres, and the rest of the property was to be divided into equal shares, and given to their seven surviving children. Until they reached majority, the children s’ properties were to be managed by their guardian, William L.B. Wheeler of Willow Green, who was married to Lucinda’s sister Addie. Lucinda continued to operate the farm, but in 1860, tragedy struck again when the main house at Peach Grove burned. Unable to rebuild, Lucinda moved her family to a 13-ft. by 19-ft. log cabin on the property that had been used Haymarket LifestyLe

by the farm help. Needing more room, Lucinda had another small outbuilding dragged to the site, and attached to the north side of the cabin. Living there at the time were Lucinda, then 43, and her children Ann M. (age 17), Catherine E. (16), William Henry III (14), John Frank (11), Medora (9), and Henrie Esther, known as “Jenny” (7). The Dogan family enjoyed only a brief respite in their meager accommodations before the outbreak of the Civil War. On the morning of July 18, 1861, Lucinda heard the opening shots of the First Battle of Manassas, with the skirmish at Blackburn’s Ford, and later witnessed the advance of Union troops under Gen. Ambrose Burnside as they came out of the woods at Sudley. Following is an account published in the Fairfax Herald in 1907 that describes what Lucinda Dogan witnessed, as the fighting shifted to Henry Hill: “Not long after this, the shooting began between the (Warrenton) pike and Sudley. We could hear the sharp cracking of muskets, and the loud report of the cannon, and could hear men shouting. Not long after, the men who marched toward Sudley came running back through the woods and over the fields, stopping to shoot now and then. More Confederates were coming from Manassas, and were forming on Buck Hill and the Matthews farm.” The Union advance was met by troops under Gen. Barnard Bee and Col. Francis Bartow, and the fierce fighting on Henry Hill was about to start. Mrs. Dogan continued, “The Yankees followed up on Henry Hill. The shooting got so furious now we couldn’t hear any single musket, and the firing of the cannon was so fast that only once-in-a-while we could pick out a single shot. The country down there was 14
now so covered with dust and smoke that we couldn’t see the men, and though they were shouting, we couldn’t distinguish the shouting from the shooting. Now and then we could see lines of men running across the Chinn place, as though they were running to get into the smoke and dust and shooting. It was an awful sight. “The shooting quieted down so we could hear single shots, and the dust in the Henry field got higher and thinner. We knew the Yankees were running, and about six o’clock, we drove over to the Henry place. My old friend, Mrs. Judith Henry was sick in bed, and had been killed that morning when a shell broke through the house and burst in her bedroom. “Dead horses were lying around everywhere, and the field was pretty well turned by shells and artillery wheels, and littered with muskets, bayonets, belts, caps, knapsacks and coats. Parties of Confederates were picking up dead men and burying them, but plenty of corpses were still lying around. We saw a great many wounded men, and many of them were begging for water.” Witnessing the suffering of the
wounded and dying was unbearable, and Lucinda quickly responded. “Mrs. Dogan had a wagon loaded with casks of water and provisions brought to the battlefield,” according to a story in the July 21, 1910 issue of the Manassas Democrat. “The wagon was drawn by an ox team driven by a colored man (later identified as Jim Redmond), and he had orders to distribute the food and water to any soldier in distress, no matter what uniform he wore.” Left behind after the Union withdrawal, three stragglers approached Lucinda’s house, asking for food. She ordered them to drop their arms, and they complied. She fed the men, and the next day turned them over to the Confederates controlling the area. “So it is probable that she captured the first prisoners-of-war in the first battle,” according to the Manassas Democrat. The region south of Centreville would remain under Confederate control until March 1862, when Rebel forces moved south to fight on another front. From that point on, the civilians living there, “...experienced the Haymarket Lifestyle

inhumanity that takes place when two invading armies occupy the same area at different times, including the taking and destruction of property,” wrote Don Johnson in Thirteen Months at Manassas/ Bull Run. It was recalled in the Manassas Journal that like her neighbors, Lucinda Dogan suffered during that time, but not willingly: “A crowd of Union troops were around her house, and her meat house was broken into. When Mrs. Dogan saw her last supply for her children going, she rushed in and ejected by force the one who was not moved by her appeals. His comrades laughed at his discomfiture, and the meat was saved.” Second Battle of Manassas As bad as things were in early 1862, they would get worse. During the early summer, her daughters Ann and Catherine died of typhoid fever, and in late August, the war returned to Groveton with a vengeance. This time, some of the most savage fighting would be along the Unfinished Railroad on her property. On the morning of Aug. 28, 1862, a Confederate officer from Gen. Jackson’s command came to her house, and insisted that Lucinda and her children depart for a safer area. The fighting that had started in Gainesville the day before would soon be at Groveton, and during the night, troops under Gen. Jackson had taken up a position along the Unfinished Railroad, just 400 yards from her house. Lucinda and her family headed toward Brownsville (later known as Folly Castle), the home of her sister Bettie and her husband, J. Thomas Leachman. At the time, Thomas Leachman was away, serving as a guide for Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. Before the Dogans reached Brownsville, a Union battery arrived at Groveton, took up a position near their house, and fired on Jackson’s troops, who were using the cuts and embankments as fortified breastworks. For the next three days, Lucinda and her four children and Bettie and her four huddled in the cellar as the 16
battle raged nearby. During the fighting, the kitchen of Lucinda’s house was damaged, and a shell went through the front door. Fortunately, it did not explode, but bounced through the house, scarring the floor and taking the leg off of a table. As they made their way home, the Dogans witnessed a scene of carnage more horrible than it was after the First
Virginia say that the most horrible sound that comes from a battlefield is the chorus of cries for water which comes from the wounded.” In her own words, Lucinda Dogan recounted what she saw, and did, on the battlefield: “Funeral parties of both armies were burying the dead, though they had not been long at this horrible work. The Confederates dug long, deep trenches and laid their men in the ground that way. The Union burial parties only shoveled mounds of dirt over the bodies where they lay, and two or three days after a heavy rain made the field hideous. “When the children and I got home, parties of men were collecting the wounded and putting them in rows here in the yard and wherever there was shade. Doctors were cutting off arms and legs, and the moaning was awful. They hadn’t brought in all of the wounded. There were hundreds scattered all around the farms. “The children and I took buckets of water out into the fields, and we worked that day and into the night, doing what we could for the poor fellows. Most on our farm were Yankees, but that didn’t make any difference to us after they got hurt. All of our bed sheeting and table linen went for bandages.”
Battle of Manassas. As she did before, Lucinda ministered to the casualties of both sides. “When the firing had ceased, Mrs. Dogan and her children and Jim Redmond walked among the dead and wounded, carrying buckets of water and ‘gourd’ dippers, giving drinks to the moaning soldiers, many of whom, of course, were dying,” according to the account in the 1907 Fairfax Herald. “All of the old folks in the battle region of
The task of dealing with the massive casualties fell to the victorious Confederates, and on Aug. 31, 1862, Gen. Robert E. Lee authorized the Union authorities to send medical personnel to remove their paroled wounded, and burial details to bury the dead. Union casualties were 1,716 killed, 8,215 wounded, and 3,893 captured or missing. Confederate losses were 1,305 killed and 7,048 wounded. By the spring of 1863, Confederate control of the region had diminished, and Union forces entered the area at will. After nearly two years in conflict Haymarket Lifestyle

and two major battles, the area between Haymarket and Centreville was devastated. “Farmlands became void of almost all timber; the farm fields were stripped of fencing rails, most of the farm animals had been stolen, and the fields were stripped of staple crops like wheat, corn, oats and hay,” wrote Don Johnson. During that time, there was another memorable incident involving the Dogan family. The morning after the March 9, 1863 raid at Fairfax Courthouse – where Capt. John S. Mosby captured Gen. Edwin Stoughton and members of his staff – Mosby and his Rangers met at the Dogan house, and had breakfast before moving on to Warrenton. Post-war life With the end of hostilities in April 1865, much would change in the South, but with four children to raise and a farm to run, Lucinda Dogan basically had to start over again from scratch. She stayed in close contact with her brother, J. Frank Lewis, who lived at Mt. Pone. Known by his friends as “Black Frank,” he represented Prince William County in the State Legislature. Assisted by Manassas attorney George C. Round, Lucinda filed a claim with the federal government for damages to her property in 1870, but it was denied. Ironically, eight years later she was called to testify before the special commission that ultimately absolved Union Gen. Fitz John Porter of the debacle at the Second Battle of Manassas, rightfully assigning the blame to the incompetent Gen. John Pope. In the years after the war, Lucinda’s step-daughter Mary Jane Dogan ran the store at Groveton, “...doing a brisk trade in relics from the Second Manassas Battle,” according to historian Eugene M. Scheel in Crossroads and Corners (1996). “She remained in business through the 1880s.” In 1880, Lucinda’s son William Henry Dogan III built a two-story farmhouse just west of her home at Groveton, where he lived with his wife Mary Ellen and their family. William was
supposed to inherit Lucinda’s property, but he died in 1899, eleven years before his mother. Sadly, Lucinda would outlive all but two of her children, J. Frank and Henrie Esther Dogan. Lucinda was the oldest member of the Sudley Methodist Church, and a charter member of the Groveton Memorial Society. Organized in April 1867, it later became the Bull Run Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She was present at the dedication of the UDC monument in August 1904. Confederate and Union veterans remembered Lucinda Dogan’s acts of mercy on the battlefield for many years alike, and in October 1906, she participated in a ceremony at three New York monuments on the battlefield. Members of the UDC served the New York veterans a luncheon at Lucinda’s house, which they noted “…had been pierced by their bullets during the fighting.” As noted in a Memorial Book published by the 14th Brooklyn Regiment after the dedication, “Old Mrs. Dogan, who was in the house during the battles of both First and Second Bull Run, now 89 years of age... displayed a wonderful memory of those terrible times. Mrs. Dogan’s presence added greatly to the occasion. No one was more interesting than Mrs. Dogan herself.” A photo of Lucinda at her home was included in the Memorial Book. On her return after the ceremonies, she told her children “…this has been one of the happiest days of my life.” Because of failing health, the following year was the last she would be able to participate in veterans’ reunions and other commemorative events, where she was often the central figure as “The Belle of the Battlefield.” The end came in late July 1910, while she was resting at Mt. Pone, where she had been born 93 years earlier. “During the last two weeks of her final illness, her mind wandered and she seemed to be weary of life, and sighed frequently, ‘I’m so tired. I want to go home,’” according to the Manassas Journal.
“One of her last conscious efforts was to join her daughter-in-law, Mrs. May Dogan who was ministering to her, in that hymn of the ages, ‘How Firm a Foundation.’ In this spirit of confidence and courage, she looked into the future, and went to her eternal home.” Lucinda’s funeral was held at her home in Groveton by Rev. Homer Welch, pastor of the Sudley Methodist Church. She was buried in the family cemetery north of the house. Dogan House is saved The property on which Lucinda’s house stood remained in the family until 1947, when William Henry Dogan V sold the house and the 4,914 square foot lot on which it stood to the Prince William County Chamber of Commerce. Committed to preserving the historic home, they stabilized the structure and removed the non-contributing two-room kitchen wing that had been added to the west side in 1881-82. At a special ceremony held there in late August 1949, the Chamber of Commerce conveyed the property to the National Park Service for inclusion in the Manassas Battlefield National Park. About 1,000 people attended the event, where Maj. Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd, commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, introduced the guest speaker, Virginia historian Dr. Douglas Southall Freeman. Restoration continued during the 1950s, but unfortunately, much of the interior trim was removed and lost. Additional work was done in preparation for the Civil War Centennial, 1961-65. In 1951, the Dogan heirs sold the rest of the property – including 87 acres of land, the family cemetery and the 1880 house – to Stonewall Memory Gardens Inc. A brick memorial topped with a metal plaque listing the names of the 15 persons known to be buried there was later erected on the site of the Dogan family cemetery.

BEING
Out of the Woods Navigating A New Path After the 5-Year Survival Mark by Christine Craddock A lot can happen in five years. If you are a healthy person, in those five years, you may get married, have children, change jobs, buy a house, or experience many other significant life events. For breast cancer patients, the years in between diagnosis and the fiveyear anniversary can seem like life is in limbo, like you are hanging in the space between. Read any study about cancer survival and it will list the percentage of people who will survive the five-year mark. So when survivors reach this milestone, is it an optimistic feeling? Or does it make them think about the millions of women who didn’t reach it. It all depends on their outlook. If you ask a few breast cancer survivors, they’d probably all give a different answer to this question. Eight-year cancer survivor Theresa Davenport says: “I really don’t think about it as much as I did in the beginning, but when I do, I think about how much stronger the experience has made me and how far I’ve come on my journey.” Janet Valdivia, a 5-year survivor, said: “Being a cancer survivor brings an interesting spectrum of emotions. Most of the time I feel empowered, as if I have cheated death and thus proven both my physical and mental strength and resilience. I live with a more balanced sense of life priorities, a perspective seemingly granted only to those who learn the
22
value of a moment in time through direct experience. Under the surface though, all of the time, if I’m being completely honest, is fear.” Francine Seidenstein Jackel, also diagnosed 5 years ago, said: “Reaching the five year mark has been significant but I have also realized that hormone positive breast cancers can return at any time…Thus one always feels the fear of it returning in the back of one’s mind. Cancer is so tricky!” These women sum up the biggest of all emotions after a cancer struggle FEAR. Even if they’ve done everything
they possibly can to increase their survival of this disease, they still have fear. After you go through any experience with cancer, you have lost the freedom that others are so blessed to live with that everything will be OK. Some survivors may even describe it as a loss of their normal selves. You move on but you are never the same. Living with the fact that you may be one symptom away from a metastatic diagnosis, which is not curable, is something that is hard to forget. A cancer diagnosis changes a person in ways that are hard to explain or understand. People who have survived the battle of their lives are not troubled by the small stuff in life. Their priorities change and what was important to them before seems small in comparison to their new worries. Survivors may have trouble relating to those who live their everyday normal lives without fear. Imagine how it would feel to listen to someone complain about the little, frustrating aspects of parenting when your biggest fear is that you won’t be there to see your children grow up. But because of these changes, survivors are given a wonderful gift of appreciation and immense gratitude for the little moments that may not seem important to the rest of the world. Marriages are strengthened. Families grow closer. Husbands become heros. Your children give you strength and keep you fighting. Time with family is precious.
Haymarket LifestyLe
Drama is a waste of time. Every day is important. Some days fear creeps in and it takes all your courage to fight it off. You may have a day when you don’t think about it and then something comes on the news or someone posts online about a loved one who died of breast cancer. Everyday life can trigger the fear to come back into the forefront and overwhelm you. It’s an exhausting battle. Cancer has a way of knocking you down so far that you wonder how you will get back up again. That’s why the support of family and friends becomes more important than ever before. If you know someone who unfortunately had to battle this disease, remember it’s not over at the end of treatment. Be sure to lend a kind and understanding ear if she ever wants to talk about it and know that there are no “right” things to say. Ask questions and really listen. Let her vent and try to be patient with her complaints. Celebrate milestones in her treatment plan. Don’t tell her horror stories about people who lost the battle. Tell her you are praying for her family and you are there when she needs you. And plan something around the five year anniversary to let her know that you care. As a survivor myself, I believe the five year mark is something to be celebrated. Five years to me brings a little less anxiety and worrying about
every ache and pain. It means I can stop taking tamoxifen - the drug that feels like a security blanket in protecting me from rogue cancer cells but also makes me feel like I’m 90 years old at the age of 37. It means life moves on. It makes me feel strong and courageous. It allows me to picture myself growing old with my husband. It inspires me to raise my son to have the best possible life I can provide. It opens up the possibility of more children. It means living with purpose, gratitude, and kindness. It’s the next chapter of life. I am still here for a reason.

Together
Surviving Cancer as a Couple by Esther Boykin I’m a pretty tough cookie. I work in a field where my job is to hold other people’s trauma and pain without judgment… and without crumbling under the weight of it. And I’m pretty good at it. But every now and then life hands me something that seems like more than even I can bear. My husband’s cancer diagnosis was one of those moments. It brought me to my knees and the journey from diagnosis to treatment is still a blur of overwhelming emotions. But through it all, I hung on to the small voice in my head that kept telling me, “Once he’s healthy again, you’ll be fine.” This promise of a return to normalcy kept me going through the fear and anxiety. It buoyed me when all I wanted to do was drive for hours and cry. It was the light at the end of the dark and difficult tunnel that is life with cancer. When I couldn’t figure out how to get him to talk to me about his feelings, I reassured myself that we would get to that when he was better. When I was drowning in my own stress and allowing my own health to suffer in an effort to take care of him and our kids and my clients, I would console myself with the idea that ‘after treatment’ I’d be able to take time for me again. Then treatment ended and life handed me another knee-buckling realization. He was cancer free and the side effects from radiation were mostly 24
nuisance issues that would resolve themselves rather than significant health issues. We were lucky. We were blessed. We were grateful…and I was a mess. The idea that the fear, anxiety, grief, and anger that had simmered below the surface for nearly a year would magically vanish was unrealistic and slightly delusional. What I had held on to as the light at the end of the tunnel was nothing more than a mirage- a hopeful, albeit probably necessary, delusion to get me through the overwhelming ups and downs of caring for him while treating cancer. Then suddenly we were on the other side and all the feelings that I had hoped would simply disappear lingered and grew. I will never know what it felt like for my husband to face cancer in his mid-thirties. I will never know what it was like for him to have to contemplate the possibility of not being around for our children’s first dance or high school graduation or weddings. What I do know about is the challenge of being the person who has to think about what it would mean to be left to pick up the pieces and find a way to go on. It is terrifying in a way I hadn’t known before. It was scary to even think about talking about it. And when I finally got the courage to speak the words out loud, I remembered that the person I want to confide in is
busy fighting for his life. He was busy resting and trying to follow treatment protocols. He was busy trying to figure out his own feelings about all of this and so I learned to stay quiet. All the while thinking that eventually we’d talk again. Then treatment ends and you realize you’ve both learned to just stay quiet. You continue to ignore the minor conflicts because how can you get mad about unwashed laundry or lack of date nights when you just faced a terminal illness. And you continue to live in your individual silos of fear and anxiety because neither of you wants to burden the other. At least that’s what it was like for me for the first year after treatment. And it was awful. This silent pact to keep our most difficult feelings to ourselves can grow just like a cancerous tumor in your relationship- insidiously destroying the good stuff as you begin to feel more and more alone in the aftermath of cancer treatment. But I finally realized that it doesn’t have to be that way. And it turns out that the solution was actually pretty simple. Start talking. Fight if you must but just start saying what’s really on your mind and in your heart. Open up and share your fears, frustrations, worries, and gratitude with one another. So often we feel we are protecting the people we love by keeping the hard stuff to ourselves. Haymarket LifestyLe

Tips for Managing Fear, Stress, & Anxiety Be still… make time to meditate, pray, do yoga, take a nap, or any combination of these. We are conditioned in our society to always be on and moving but our bodies and minds need time to rest each day. Stress and anxiety feed on the energy of having too much to do. Slowing down and giving yourself permission to just pause and reflect can be transformative to your daily stress. Play… the opposite of play is not work; its depression and anxiety! That’s right- play keeps us happy, healthy, and calm. One of the other benefits of play is that it naturally encourages you to focus on the moment, creating more mindfulness in your daily life. Learning to cultivate mindfulness is one way to increase your joy and reduce stress.
But I know from personal and professional experience, that intimacy and connection are built on the hard stuff. Fear and anxiety grows in the dark but when you can open up and share yourself with each other the light of your love will shrink those worries and help you find your way to the new normal of your life. Life after cancer is scary. In some ways it can be even scarier than life before. Now you know the potential outcomes and every few months you have a scan or blood work to remind you that cancer never stops being a possibility. But if you’re like my husband, and me you learn that the more honest you are about all of your feelings, the less overwhelming it becomes. It’s ok to fight about the dishes and laundry. Tell each other when you want more romance or fun or free time. And if you can find the courage to finally talk about the fears that you’ve held inside for so long, you’ll discover something amazing- a deeper and more meaningful love for one another. Live your life together and share the ups and downs as a team. It is in that shared experience that you will finally find the light at the end of your tunnel. At least that’s what happened for me.

Prioritize… you can’t stop the speed at which things in your life are hurled at you, but you can adjust how you respond. The best course of action is to slow down and become more deliberate in your actions. Rather than sitting down to make the ubiquitous “to do” list, make a “focus” list and an “ignore” list. The only way to manage it all is to decide not to do some of it. Socialize… people need people to connect with. Our ability to be resilient in the face of life’s obstacles and to find the joy in life’s gifts is directly related to our ability to connect with other people in meaningful ways. Having just one other person in your life with whom you can feel loved and valued just for being exactly who you are is one of the best ways to minimize anxiety and live a more joyful life. Cultivate gratitude every day… whether it’s your morning coffee or the health of a loved one, there is always something to be grateful for. Learning to practice gratitude is not about dismissing our frustration at minor life events; rather it is about balancing our natural disappointments and irritation with the acknowledgement that even in the midst of challenge, there are good things in our life. Accomplish something… so much of what we do in life is never-ending. Laundry, dishes, homework, carpool; you check them off your list in the morning and like some kind of cruel starfish they magically reappear back on the list before you get to bed at night. Finishing something, anything, is an empowering and motivating experience. Finish the book you started last summer, finish re-organizing the linen closet, or complete that project at the office. Find a way to have a moment, no matter how small, of victory over a task each week. Be compassionate… with yourself and with others. A gentle willingness to recognize suffering and find a way to relieve it can have a profound impact on your spirit. Remember that compassion, especially for self, can be small. Too often we beat ourselves up for all the ways we miss the mark but these so-called “failures” are simply part of being human. You are perfectly imperfect and that is often the most beautiful part of who you are. Haymarket LifestyLe

Cancer Support Groups Connect Inspirational places to find comfort, answers and encouragment.

eing newly diagnosed with cancer can be one of the scariest times of your life. Picture walking into a warm, cozy room and joining a group of women who have been where you are and have gone through what you are about to go through. At the Novant Health Cancer Center, women and families have a place to go to connect, ask questions, and be understood. Robin Hall-Phelps is the coordinator of the cancer support groups here and you’d have a hard time finding someone more passionate about their work. The program began in 2009, in partnership with the American Cancer Society, based on research by Bernie Siegel, known as the “father of support groups.” Siegel was an oncologist who began studying 12 women who were the only ones who showed up to his support meetings. He found that these women were better patients, more compliant with treatment and had an overall better quality of life and longevity while also fostering strong bonds and extreme support for each other. He wrote “Love, Medicine, Miracles” which Hall-Phelps says is known to be the most helpful book in the cancer journey. Cancer support groups are formed for a reason - for survivors and caregivers to find relatable, sympathetic comfort and inspiration. Women battling breast cancer can find solace and solidarity in the area’s local resources. Having a supportive group of women walking together in stride as patients suffering pains, heartaches and triumphs along the journey can be a buoy to the spirit during a uniquely trying time.
Novant Health Cancer Center at Lake Manassas
The support groups at Novant Health Cancer Center, held in the lobby, are focused on nutrition, relaxation, and support but more importantly, the connection between people. This connection Hall-Phelps describes as “the most beautiful thing you could ever see” is evident the way the survivors take newly diagnosed women and “wrap their beautiful arms around them.” The support received helps them survive the first year and gives them access to a wealth of information you can't find anywhere else. Patients and caregivers can take part in the American Center Society’s “I Can Cope” program to learn about nutrition and current research that are complementary to treatment regimes. The Caregivers Support Program offers a helping hand and a listening ear to those friends and family members juggling the new lifestyle of treatments and hospitals stays. The Women’s Cancer Support group offers camaraderie with other patients as well as guiding those fighting cancer in emotional coping strategies. A Cancer Survivorship group serves to encourage former patients in resuming their lives and facing the future after dealing with prolonged illness and uncertainty.The center also brings support to Kids and Teens of patients with programs that encourage emotional expression through art, writing, and activities to help them cope with a family member’s diagnosis. New groups and workshops are formed regularly with topics ranging from stress management and nutrition to navigating through insurance complications. For those facing diagnosis, the depth of resources at Novant should be a reassurance that they won’t be going it alone.

For those who haven’t heard of the Look Good, Feel Better program, you are missing out! For women going through any form of cancer, one of the hardest aspects is losing their hair. But it’s not really about the hair; it’s about how people see you differently and how you see yourself. By looking like a cancer patient, it’s almost like you become more of a patient which can be especially difficult for some people. The Look Good, Feel Better program is designed to help women still feel beautiful without hair and while undergoing treatment. Registration is free and attendees get access to trained cosmetologists who teach them how to deal with appearance-related side effects of treatment. Women learn how to feel beautiful again by applying makeup differently and using wigs, scarves, and hats to cover their newly bald head. The program is through the American Cancer Society and is held at Prince William Hospital. Go to lookgoodfeelbetter.org for more information and to register for the session closest to you. Prince William Hospital also holds Breast Cancer Support meetings for women, men, newly diagnosed patients, and families and also groups for patients with other forms of cancer, survivor rehab and wellness workshops, and caregiver classes.
Tigerlily Foundation
The Tigerlily Foundation, named after the flower that blossoms and grows in the Summer after losing its petals in the Fall, was founded by Maimah Karmo, a breast cancer survivor diagnosed at 32 years old. The Foundation seeks to support younger survivors - aged 15 through 40 - before, during, and after treatment. The Pink Boa 5K walk, held in Fairfax Corner, just ran for the third time in September to give families in our area an opportunity to raise money and awareness for the breast cancer cause. Go to tigerlilyfoundation.org to learn more and find out how to get involved. 28

FuNNy—But
Not So FuNNy—Real Estate Stories by Susan Jacobs
Thanks to Wes Stearns, Prince William Association of Realtors’ 2010 President the inspiration for this article. After I read his article, REAL ESTATE CAREER CAN BE FUN & DANGEROUS – TENANTS CAN BE TENACIOUS!!! I started thinking about some of the funny things that have happened in my 26 years in the real estate business. Do you remember the days when someone told you they had money in the bank and you could believe them? Well, I remember the client who was a minister. He was buying a house with all cash. The day of settlement he had to excuse himself from the settlement table 3 times. He said he needed to go pray. After waiting at great length, the agent went to see if he was okay. He proceeded to tell her that “He was praying for God to deliver the money and was sure it would be here any minute”. Another time, we were on our way back from a house tour, and the agent driving was a “Chatty Kathy”. She was talking so much about the details of the house that when she backed out of the long driveway she backed right over the culvert. She had one tire in the air and was still chatting away.
Needless to say she wasn’t doing any more house tours that day. How would you like to be the sign installer who unknowingly put the “For Sale” sign on the wrong house? Imagine getting a call from an irate husband asking, “what the H… are you doing?! Come get this sign down, NOW!” This actually happened, and when the sign installer called the agent who requested the installation, they realized that she had listed her home address rather than that of her listing. Whoops! Back in the day before everyone had cell phones, I had clients who insisted on following me to look at houses. I gave them a copy of the listings so that they had directions to each, and the order in which we were planning to tour them. I drove slowly enough, and tried to make sure not to lose sight of them. As traffic got heavy, we got separated. “Okay, they have directions, but where are they?” I thought. After waiting 20 minutes, I re-traced the route I had given them, and found them on the side of the road. They ran out of gas! I’ve had agents show up at brokers’ open houses to be in such a hurry to get their free lunch that they storm into the first door they see open, even if it is the wrong house! -- No free lunch here! Only a very surprised homeowner in the kitchen in his underwear. I could go on & on about the misadventures of real estate. The funniest story I know is the one where a lady settled on the house she purchased and gave the seller a rent-back for 2 weeks. The lady had asked the seller if she could come over to measure for blinds she that wanted to install. That was fine with the seller; he was going out of town for a long weekend and asked that she made sure that all doors were locked when she left. Due to bad weather, the seller decided to cut the weekend short. As he opened the front door the lady was coming down the stairs in her PJ’s, pet in hand. She told him she spent the night there. His room was the only room with furniture. Imagine the realization of “Oh my gosh! She has been sleeping in my bed!”

Candace Moe, Heidi Jerakis, and Chelle Gassan, otherwise known as The Girls of Real Estate, are looking forward to hosting their 9th Annual Wine Event at the Winery at La Grange in Haymarket. The proceeds from the exclusive, invite-only event will be donated to organizations that are fighting the war on Breast Cancer—a core value to the unique real estate team’s philosophy of giving back. To-date as a result of the event, The Girls have donated approximately $50,000 to Susan G. Komen and the Tutu Project/Carey Foundation. Most people are familiar with Susan G. Komen, however, in the last few years, The Girls have chosen to focus their efforts on the Tutu Project/Carey Foundation. The Carey Foundation supports organizations that offer assistance with cancer related costs such as transportation to treatment, home care, childcare, and medical supplies for those individuals and their families dealing with Breast Cancer. For further information contact the Girls at 800-882-0317 or info@thegirlsofrealestate.com.

Ovarian Cancer Research Fund The first annual McCrea Invitational Charity Golf Tournament benefiting the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund was held on September 5th at Gainesville’s Stonewall Golf Club at Lake Manassas. McCrea’s Vice President, Shane Lanhardt began the charity tournament in honor of his mother, Becki, who is a survivor of the disease. More than 120 golfers were in attendance at the event that raised $18,500 to help combat the hard-to-detect illness. The day was a hot and steamy 90º, but the sticky weather did not deter the golfers from eagerly taking to the links for the cause. In attendance, former Washington Redskins tight-end, ESPN Radio host, and cancer activist, Chris Cooley teed up bright and early; hitting the links at 9 am sharp. Adding to the celebratory mood of the day, Stu “The Blockbuster” Bloch, Chairman of Congressional Bank, donned what is sure to be his brightest golfing attire. For those whose swing may have been a little rusty, there were other opportunities to win prizes and take part in the benefit with a silent auction and raffle. Guests enjoyed a continental breakfast and on-course margarita stations--all catered by Stonewall. Mr. Landhart says that he looks forward to this hugely successful event to grow both in building awareness and financial support for ovarian cancer research in the years to come. With the help of McCrea and their generous donors, OCRF will help to find a cure.

For women battling breast cancer in
the Haymarket and Gainesville area, the options for receiving specialized treatment usually involve traveling through some of the worst Northern Virginia traffic. But now, all that is about to change. Novant Health is bringing high quality treatment and care to our area through the Breast Center, which will be located in the imaging department at the Heathcote Health Center adjacent to the Novant Health Haymarket Medical Center. Each month at the Novant Health Cancer Center (formerly the Cancer Center at Lake Manassas), a team of doctors meets to discuss all newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who have come to them for treatment. This team is comprised of a patient navigator, breast surgeon, radiation oncologist, medical oncologist, plastic and reconstructive surgeon, breast radiologist, clinical trial doctor, and nurses. To have this degree of expertise in one room to plan a course of treatment for an individual patient may be the bright light to a person’s darkest days. The Center’s Medical Director of

Breast Medical Oncology is Dr. Jey Maran, whose connection to breast cancer comes from his mentor during training at Baylor University. He takes very serioulsy that the connections formed between doctors and patients are more intimate in breast cancer care due to the personal nature of the disease. As only he would know from experience, Dr. Maran points out that the fear of breast cancer is a long-term issue. While most women go into remission, they are followed for many years after treatment, helping to solidify a relationship between doctor and patient. Breast cancer care in the past was so “fragmented” because there are so many areas of focus involved, says Dr. Maran. He explains that when you bring all the members of the treatment team into one room, “you learn about each others’ perspectives, including the complexity of patients’ needs.” And perhaps more importantly, “patients aren’t lost in the system and they have the guidance they need.” He further explains that when he sees patients who have gone to other treatment centers, he feels they “get far better coordinated care close to home.”
Dr. Jey Maran, Medical Director of Breast Medical Oncology at the new Breast Center at the Heathcote Health Center A collaboration of experts in any field can be extremely beneficial to the overall goal of survival of the patient. If anyone could sit in on one of these meetings, it would be humbling to see the compassion Haymarket Lifestyle
New Radiation Center Brings Focussed Technology The Novant Health Cancer Center (formerly the Cancer Center at Lake Manassas) held a groundbreaking ceremony September 11 for the construction of additional space to allow for the TrueBeam stereotactic radiosurgery technology. Novant Health is dedicated to providing the latest technology and highest quality care to cancer patients in Northern Virginia, and specifically the Haymarket and Gainesville areas. Dr. Sanjeev Aggarwal, MD, spoke to a crowd of physicians, nurses, administrators, and other visitors about this exciting new treatment option for patients. He explained how the “precise, highly focused” radiation allows for treating of tumors while protecting the surrounding tissue. The result is shorter, more effective treatment. For patients battling lung cancer, this radiation is even able to turn on and off to compensate for the patient’s breathing to allow for the radiation to only focus on the tumor.

The technology can be used for the treatment of cancers of the lung as well as breast, stomach, and head and neck since these may present a challenge for radiation treatment. It was created with the patient in mind, designed to make them more comfortable while undergoing targeted radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells.
The building’s addition is slated to open in March of 2015
coming from doctors who not only have the goal of helping you live a long life but also a quality life. Patients are not talked about like they are just one in a sea of others. The disease each patient is battling remains in the forefront, but other sometimes more important details of a patient’s life are discussed. How will the patient tolerate chemotherapy while taking care of children at home? How can we alleviate the patient’s anxiety towards radiation therapy? These questions are offered and discussed as if each patient were someone they cared about. Breast cancer is a personal Patient Navigator, Jackie Glenn disease and can be very confusing because of the multi-focused approach to treatment. Some have never had any experience with radiation, chemotherapy, or even surgery. Jackie Glenn has been the patient navigator for the Novant Health Cancer Center for the last 4 years and now is the Program Coordinator for the Breast Center. She explains that the Breast Center has been in existence for a few years as a virtual entity with the doctors in many different locations but collaborating on the treatment plans for patients. However, having a physical location is helpful for patients to have a place to go for help. Since most patients’ journeys begin after an image study reveals a suspicion of cancer, the Breast Center’s location in the imaging department makes perfect sense. Imagine getting that dreaded phone call revealing your cancer diagnosis and being left to let your mind wander to places it shouldn’t go. Glenn says she will often call the patient the same day to comfort and guide them. Each patient will be referred to the Breast Center to be paired up with a navigator who immediately reaches out to comfort them, guide them, become their support, answer questions, and arrange a treatment plan. Patients will even have the opportunity to choose their surgeon, oncologists, and others to be on their team. The navigator will work to “gauge the patient’s understanding of the process and stress level” and approach treatment with these factors in mind. October 2014
Having a place to go to for treatment that is “convenient and close to home” can also be very comforting, says Glenn. There was a need for it in our area and Novant Health is determined to meet that need by offering high standard, highest quality, multidisciplinary care with the newest technologies. Glenn says there are great plans for the future of the Breast Center that may include a high risk clinic for patients who carry the BRCA gene or have other high risk characteristics; this clinic will lead to a higher level of surveillance for women in Prince William County, where breast cancer mortality rates are high. She also is excited about the possibility of a survivorship program to build off of the already existing support groups offered to help survivors live a healthy life after treatment. Dr. Maran sees the Breast Center continuing to grow and expand into becoming “the center of breast care in the area for a long time to come.” He explains that while he is “delighted to be a part of the center and excited about the prospects for future growth,” he also sees the center’s future as not only serving our community but patients outside of the community as well. Within the breast cancer community, one that is very connected, he expects the reputation for the standard of care received here to bring people to the Breast Center for high level care. In addition to the Breast Center, Novant Health is also offering ways for the underserved, uninsured community to receive care through a grant from the Susan G. Komen Foundation. This grant allows Novant Health’s mobile mammography coach to offer free mammograms to the community as well as set money aside for future treatment if these uninsured women need it. The coach will travel all around Prince William county to make sure that all women have the opportunity to be proactive about their breast health and receive follow-up care, and help with financial assistance. Look for the coach at community events around town.

SURVIVAL TIPS
With the explosive growth of the wine trade in Virginia over the past 10 years, the number of wine events showcasing local wines has also grown. For many people, the challenge of looking for a good wine while faced with a large variety of wineries can be overwhelming. In addition, keeping from over-indulging can be a challenge.
How do the pros tackle large wine events? Find/hire a designated driver. Be smart. Consuming in moderation is recommended, of course, but at festivals with fresh air, sunshine, and free-flowing wine, it’s quite easy to get in over your head. Plus, what’s better for prolonging your escape from reality than having someone else navigate the NoVA highways for you? It’s the only way to travel. Do your homework. What do you like to drink and when do you like to drink it? What foods do you like? What wines go well with those dishes? What type of tastes and aromas do you enjoy? Experienced wine drinkers and professionals keep notes and use those notes to taste and categorize wines. Now that you have thought about your tastes and what you like, it’s time to actually taste wine. Professionals use a multi-step process when tasting any wine: • Swirl the wine in your glass. What colors do you see? Is the wine clear or cloudy? Are there drips on the sides of the wine glass? • Sniff the wine. What aromas do you notice? Are these aromas strong or subtle? • Slurp the wine. After sniffing the wine, put some in your mouth and slurp. While this may violate everything your mother taught you about manners at the table, slurping wine opens up both your taste
•
buds and nose, allowing you to more fully experience the various aromas, tastes and textures of the wine. What do you smell? How does it taste? Is the texture of the wine smooth or harsh? Spit/swallow the wine. Professionals spit out the wine into a nearby receptacle or back into the glass. (Local custom promotes swallowing a small amount.) Either way, do you still taste something after the wine leaves your mouth? This is known as “the finish”. • Taking notes of what you see, smell and taste helps you determine your preferences and which wine to pair with which foods. With all that in mind, how do you keep from getting overwhelmed at a wine event? • Stay hydrated. Bring water and sip it between wines to both clear your palate and dilute any excess wines that are in your system. • Bring crackers. Anything from saltines to oyster crackers to specialized biscuits or breads work well and help soak up any wines in your system. Many festivals offer vending of fresh-baked baguettes. YUM! • Concentrate on a limited number of wines or wineries. If you like only Chardonnay, taste just that wine from each winery and compare them. If you are unfamiliar with a particular winery or group of wineries, limit your visit to them and compare their wines with the wines you know.
Remember the #1 rule of wine tasting – the best wine is the one you like.
If you follow these tips, you will have more fun, and get the most out of your next wine festival experience.
Steve Oviatt is President of the Haymarket Gainesville Business Association and runs his own consulting business in addition to working for a number of local wineries. Steve acknowledges that his daughter has taught him everything he knows about wine. He lives in Catharpin with his wife, Nancy.

SURVIVAL TIPS
With the explosive growth of the wine trade in Virginia over the past 10 years, the number of wine events showcasing local wines has also grown. For many people, the challenge of looking for a good wine while faced with a large variety of wineries can be overwhelming. In addition, keeping from over-indulging can be a challenge.
How do the pros tackle large wine events? Find/hire a designated driver. Be smart. Consuming in moderation is recommended, of course, but at festivals with fresh air, sunshine, and free-flowing wine, it’s quite easy to get in over your head. Plus, what’s better for prolonging your escape from reality than having someone else navigate the NoVA highways for you? It’s the only way to travel. Do your homework. What do you like to drink and when do you like to drink it? What foods do you like? What wines go well with those dishes? What type of tastes and aromas do you enjoy? Experienced wine drinkers and professionals keep notes and use those notes to taste and categorize wines. Now that you have thought about your tastes and what you like, it’s time to actually taste wine. Professionals use a multi-step process when tasting any wine: • Swirl the wine in your glass. What colors do you see? Is the wine clear or cloudy? Are there drips on the sides of the wine glass? • Sniff the wine. What aromas do you notice? Are these aromas strong or subtle? • Slurp the wine. After sniffing the wine, put some in your mouth and slurp. While this may violate everything your mother taught you about manners at the table, slurping wine opens up both your taste
•
buds and nose, allowing you to more fully experience the various aromas, tastes and textures of the wine. What do you smell? How does it taste? Is the texture of the wine smooth or harsh? Spit/swallow the wine. Professionals spit out the wine into a nearby receptacle or back into the glass. (Local custom promotes swallowing a small amount.) Either way, do you still taste something after the wine leaves your mouth? This is known as “the finish”. • Taking notes of what you see, smell and taste helps you determine your preferences and which wine to pair with which foods. With all that in mind, how do you keep from getting overwhelmed at a wine event? • Stay hydrated. Bring water and sip it between wines to both clear your palate and dilute any excess wines that are in your system. • Bring crackers. Anything from saltines to oyster crackers to specialized biscuits or breads work well and help soak up any wines in your system. Many festivals offer vending of fresh-baked baguettes. YUM! • Concentrate on a limited number of wines or wineries. If you like only Chardonnay, taste just that wine from each winery and compare them. If you are unfamiliar with a particular winery or group of wineries, limit your visit to them and compare their wines with the wines you know.
Remember the #1 rule of wine tasting – the best wine is the one you like.
If you follow these tips, you will have more fun, and get the most out of your next wine festival experience.
