 <title>Laugh. Play. Build. Learn.  Oh, and beat cancer!</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/22676</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m a scientist turned stay-at-home-mom, always looking for something fun and exciting to do with the kids.  Widget is almost 3; Little Bear is only 6 months old.  Dad and the dog round out our busy house of boys.  We laugh, we play, we build, and we learn.  Welcome to my world, Toddler Planet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last month, I went to the doctor because my breast &quot;felt funny.&quot;  I thought it might be mastitis, because I&#039;d had difficulties nursing my newborn.  Two weeks later, we were told that it was cancer.  Inflammatory breast cancer.  This is the fastest-growing, most aggressive form of breast cancer, and treatment must start immediately.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m 34.  I have two baby boys.  I also have cancer, and I&#039;m navigating the new world of chemotherapy while parenting my boys.  Luckily, I have friends and blogfriends, and we&#039;re going through this together.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Want to come along?  I&#039;d love to have you visit Toddler Planet, at &lt;a href=&quot;http://toddlerplanet.wordpress.com&quot; title=&quot;http://toddlerplanet.wordpress.com&quot;&gt;http://toddlerplanet.wordpress.com&lt;/a&gt; and say hello.  You can even join the team of women helping me go through this, if you like.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had to cancel my trip to BlogHer, but I&#039;ll be cheering you all on in spirit, from back home --&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Toddler Planet.&lt;/p&gt;
