Why isn jaclyn graver on qvc anymore

This was contained in a cyst in my breast. LCIS is an overgrowth of cells that stay inside the lobule. It is not a true cancer; rather, it is a warning sign of an increased risk for developing an invasive cancer in the future in either breast.

A: Ultrasound. I have fiber cystic breasts and have always had to have an additional ultrasound after my mammograms. A: I did not because I agreed the cyst should be removed. I have, however, followed up with my doctor on a regular basis, making sure to get mammograms and other tests. My Doctor told me last year that because of what was found in my breast, it was important to have a colonoscopy. Anyway, her words stuck with me, and I scheduled the test.

They found a tubular adenoma sessile polyp which was pre-cancerous, and I had to have over a foot of my colon surgically removed. A: The love and support of my family, of course. I am blessed with two beautiful grandsons that light up my life, and I want to enjoy them for a long time. Also, I have to say, that I am a pretty positive person. I have a wonderful man in my life. A: It was great to have their support, but I was really happy when friends and co-workers were scheduling their tests after hearing my story.

I hope that is what happens today. A: Your friends and family are in your life for a reason, and they want to be there for you. Lean on them! You know you would do it for them. We often think about breast cancer as a disease that affects women over How could a woman get breast cancer earlier? Unlike me, she was and is Amy is in the midst of her battle. A: Yes, I am 26 years old.

I found out I had cancer a couple days before my 26th birthday. A: I felt the lumps myself. I had one lump when I was 18 and again when I was 21, but they were benign. I found three lumps this time. A: My treatment program is for a year and two months. Even though my cancer was diagnosed stage 1, the type of cancer I have is known to aggressively spread to other areas of my body within three years if I did not get chemotherapy.

The types of chemotherapy treatments for my type of cancer are Adriamycin and Cytoxan for the first two months then Taxol and Herceptin for the next three months and Herceptin alone for the last nine months. My last Taxel treatment is October 17 th. I then continue Herceptin every three weeks until August while receiving my surgeries. A: I have three surgeries left. Because my tumor was located close to my nipple, I have to get the first surgery to test the tissue under my nipple to make sure the cancer has not been exposed to the nipple.

If it has not, I will be receiving a Nipple Sparing Double Mastectomy followed with the third surgery of reconstruction.

A: It was unsettling to lose my hair. I had extremely long hair, so I first got it all cut off to a pixie cut. Then, when it started to fall out, I had my sister buzz it off. It is something that you never really get used to. I lost my eye lashes and eyebrows as well. I do not feel like I look like myself anymore, so I am looking forward to when it grows back.

A: I wear hats and bandanas. A: My family and friends are getting me through this journey. My two aunt's, Sue and Gail, as well as my Uncle Joe are my angels in this journey. They have gone far and beyond for me, and I am so grateful for all they do for me. A: The continued love, support, help and understanding. Everyone in my life has been really great. A: Breast cancer has definitely opened my eyes.

It is an education. Not only have I learned about breast cancer, but have met other patients with other types of cancers and learned about their journey. Being on my journey and learning about what other people are going through, it makes life look and feel different. It makes me look at life more positively and makes me grateful for everything and everyone I have in my life.

A: The advice I have is to keep your head up and try to stay positive. Laura Ferguson bravely shared her story as she was battling her second round of breast cancer.

We wanted to check in and see how she was doing. Here is an update from our dear friend. I was so close to my 5 year mark last time around that I feel a little superstitious keeping track. May 8 th was technically my one year cancer free. A: My first time was stage 1, but it was still weird as I had two tumors. The one tumor was invasive ductal carcinoma and the other was invasive lobular carcinoma. I also had two lymph nodes that showed cancer cells on them, but not enough to be considered a complete positive.

Very complicated! My father passed away from Glioblastoma Multiforme brain cancer. A: First time I had two lumpectomies, a full node dissection, chemo and a double mastectomy with reconstruction. Second time I had a lumpectomy on my fake boob, chemo, radiation of my chest and neck, and had my ovaries removed. The second time I knew that my case was presented to the tumor board, where numerous oncologists that specialize in Breast Cancer reviewed my case, and shared their thoughts with my oncologist.

A: Yes. I actually am in the process of switching from Arimidex to Femara. I was having severe side effects from the Arimidex. During my first battle I was on Tamoxifen, but it failed. A: Losing my hair the first time was really sad for me. I would stand in front of the mirror just brushing my hair wondering what I would look like with all of it gone.

It is growing back, slowly but surely. A: The first time I went and bought a wig. I was wearing it outside and at work. It was so uncomfortable though. I would take my lunch to work and go out and sit in my car just to take the wig off. After that I stopped wearing the wig. I wore all sorts of scarves and hats from then on. A: Family and friends. The second diagnosis was a huge blow for me.

I was not only scared for my life, but it also closed any possibility of having any biological children of my own.

Double whammy. A: Sometimes a laugh and other times a listening ear. Knowing that my friends and family have my back, no matter what, is priceless.

One day at a time. Step by step. A: The second time around I took a leave from work. Not having to be anywhere each day was great. When I felt good I was able to do things that I enjoyed like go to the beach or just hang out with Family and Friends.

It was a huge difference from working during my chemo treatments the first time. A: Take a deep breath. Who knows what the future holds for any of us? Hope is what gets us through and dreams are the inspiration for the journey. Strange to think my tumor was removed during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

As tough as it to look back on this month 4 years ago, what a joyous month it has become! I am privileged to hear the stories of the warriors who have fought and are fighting against this dreadful disease. Even though October is coming to an end, our fight continues! It could save a life! Please check your breasts, have your yearly GYN appointments and get your Mammograms!

We need you in this world! Although he was concerned and worried, he was ALL in and was prepared to do whatever it took to help her through this journey. This is me during chemo. I had this wig fitted before losing my hair, so it is close to what I looked like prior to chemo. S: I was reaching to place a Christmas decoration up and felt a sharp pain in my right breast. When I put my hand over it, I felt the mass for the first time over my sweatshirt.

I went in for a mammogram. They saw something and immediately sent me in for a biopsy. It was then they told me I had breast cancer. S: I started an 18 week chemotherapy treatment 3 weeks after diagnosis. I then opted for a double mastectomy, even though the cancer was only in one breast. I have done 5 weeks of fills and started Radiation on August 29th, not to get rid of any cancer, but rather to make sure the cells never grow again.

I will have my final reconstructive surgery in November of S: No. When I found out, I asked to have both breasts removed immediately. I was told the tumors were about 6. The chemo was designed to shrink the tumor. They were concerned due to the tumor being very close to the chest wall. Personally, when I found out, all I wanted was for it to be gone. Delaying any treatments to get a second opinion just wasn't something we wanted to take a chance with. I just wanted to get rid of the cancer.

There were several doctors that reviewed my case. It was then that they all decided what my plan would be. S: Yes, I am on 2 meds daily and still receive a drug through an IV once every 3 weeks until January They will last 10 years, and then I will have to have them removed and new ones put back in.

S: At the time it was devastating. I was so concerned. When I was told I would lose it, I went out and bought a wig that looked just like my hair. I actually cut my own hair every 3 days, shorter and shorter, until I realized I was about to lose it all. I cried by myself and watched myself cry in the mirror. I went into the bathroom and just started to buzz it all off, then I shaved my head.

My husband and I took pictures of him holding an egg next to my head. When I went to the chemo center and the doctor told me, after my second session of chemo, my tumor shrunk 3 inches, suddenly my hair was the last thing I was thinking about. Women see their hair as being a part of what defines them.

But when you really look at the whole picture, your hair isn't anything special. S: Actually, I bought a couple of wigs. I had a short haired wig that I would wear under a baseball cap if I went out in public.

They just became more of a nuisance, so I started to wear my little knitted hats when I went out. S: I have a great family and love them all. It has brought us all closer going through this. I fought for 3 reasons: 1- I wanted 40 more years with my husband. I was not going to leave him! I haven't met my daughter-in-law.

These are 3 simple reasons, yet for me are the most powerful reasons to fight! S: Support. I had them all making meals, calling and asking how I was that day. They sent cards and flowers, did some shopping for us and stopped by for tea. My husband was by my side every moment. What was great were the people that stopped to ask him how HE was.

People don't realize how much of a toll it takes, not just on the patient, but the spouse as well. S: Today I have 20 of my 30 radiation treatments under my belt. I have had expanders in since May 31st, which are painful. My scar tissue has hardened and the expanders are on my ribs and muscles.

S: Wow, I don't even know where to begin. I have realized what is really important in life. The big house, expensive car, perfect hair, body, nails and clothes are all so superficial. I am a stronger person and am more focused on what I want in life.

I used to clean 2 times a day, make dinners, go shopping…now, none of that really matters. I still do some of these things, but would rather take a long ride with my husband and spend some quality time with him. We have always wanted to move and travel, but have put it off. Now we are working towards our dreams. Life is short and you never know. Don't put off the things you want, go after them, dream them and live them.

S: Life is always worth fighting for. With the technology and medicine that is out there for us today, why wouldn't you want to fight? Stay positive. This may sound inappropriate, but have fun with it all. For example, some people keep a diary. I took pictures of myself every day.

To have something small to look forward to gives you hope. S: Dealing with cancer isn't a death sentence. It IS something you can beat as long as you stay on top of your health. You will start to see you want to fight it. Everyone has something worth living for, stay focused, embrace life! Hard times, bad breaks, illness, and heartache suck!

More importantly, the journey through the tough times has given me character, compassion, strength, perseverance, hope and a grateful heart! I shared my struggle with the vocal cord polyps that ended my opera career, the inability to have children and my battle with breast cancer. But, I also shared the good news…I reinvented myself within the entertainment industry that I love; God gave me a beautiful daughter through adoption; and I am healthy and cancer-free!

I was honored and blessed to be a drop in the growth of these women who are struggling or had struggled with the very same things. How did you survive? How has it changed you? What did you learn? Are you sharing what you learned? Let me tell you, I love men a whole lot and am so grateful for them, but, Girls, we need each other!! We need to mentor and be mentored by other women throughout our lives in marriage, business, motherhood, grandmotherhood, single motherhood, death of a loved one, illness, friendship, dating and beyond!

I hope you will see the bad things in your life as blessings for growth. If you can work past the darkness and you will , you will come into a whole new day. Also know that a sister, a friend, a co-worker may need your story to help them through their struggle! Pre-Isabella, plans for the holidays were a no-brainer. We either spent Christmas with my family in Indiana or my husbands in Rhode Island. Easy breezy! I love the hustle and bustle of family tradition: church on Christmas Eve my favorite service of the year , opening presents with all the kiddos, eating the yummy dinners, and playing games on Christmas Day.

Enter Izzy. I honestly thought we would continue doing things as we always had. I wanted her to put out food for the reindeer and cookies for Santa. I wanted her to wake up in her own bed Christmas morning and run down the stairs to see if Santa had filled her stocking and left a present under the tree. It took us about 6 months to decide that we were going to stay home for the holiday. So, on Christmas Eve Isabella put food out for the reindeer and left cookies, milk and a note for Santa.

Oh my, she was so excited she could hardly sleep. I started with your line on vac and nearly all my closet is yours and ALL my pants. No one fits me like you. I retired as a psychologist, to cattle rancher to , maybe, my last retirement in sunny Fla. Please continue your wonderful designs and it has been great sharing watching your family grow up.

You are the kind of person we all feel we could chat with over coffee. I love everything I order. I love Susan! But, maybe a little pricey. I do have many of her pieces. Go to some of the local stores, and just look at some of the cheap fabric they are using overseas!! Susan you are so I g a great job……keep it up.

QVC definitely knows how to get you to part with your money. The fabric quality was not the same as previous purchases. If I follow the sizing charts, the sizes work. Yes, I wish she would talk less. I get a headache. She interrupts the hostesses.

Sometimes, they are visibly upset. However, Susan is charming, energetic and passionate… Turning 65…. Looks great! She is just bubbly and enthusiastic. Try going to the Department Stors and see the quality.

The material is so thin and the stitching is poor. Give me Susan anytime! I look forward to seeing what her latest pieces are and she always looks stunning and figure flattering in her line! I do have a few liquid knit tops, although a bit pricey, they truly are luxurious and the colors are absolutely vibrant and gorgeous!

It really is figure flattering, elegant and easy to wear and travel with! You are a talented gem that loves what you do and it shows! My closet is full of her clothes. I get so many compliments on my clothes. Can you make the camp shirts with dots again?

I finally own designer clothes. I am tired of liquid knit. More blends of rayon. Also, I have the three quarter length crepe blazers, probably 10 years old.

Getting back to the camp shirts in solids. More purple!! Been with QVC since Thank you. I agree Susan needs to tone it down quite a bit and needs to lower her prices. She needs to let the hosts do their jobs and she needs to stop touching the models. Calm down Susan and you may get more sales. First time ordering Susan…. Hi Susan, I have watched you and purchased your clothing for as long as I can remember.

I am in my sixties now. I do want to share a recent heartbreak with you. My sister in law needed something to wear for a special occasion. I loaned her my favorite SG cardigan. It was a liquid knit floral cardigan. It had beautiful blue flowers on a black background and it was sprinkled with blue sequins. There was a strip of elastic across the back. It came with a blue knit tank that I never wore with it.

He tells the most fascinating stories about each piece accompanied by a pic of Jackie wearing the item. I just love it. Susan Graver is a revelation. The woman must have Jewish merchant blood - she could sell snow to Eskimos.

I love listening to her say "Peachskin" and when she teaches me about the wonders of darts, yokes and grommets. She deserves to be successful - so enthusiastic. I love the Jackie Kennedy jewelry shows too. In addition to the great stories, that guy has the greatest photos of her. Sometimes he shows a picture of her that's over 30 years old. There she is, stepping off a yacht wearing white jeans with a black t, great sandals, oversize sunglasses, large Hermes bag and one great piece of jewelry.

Current enough to grace any fashion mag. Believe or not, Lisa Robertson was born November 7, and she really can't lie about her age, as she won Miss Tennessee in Seeing her early pagent pics, she doesn't look like she's had that much plastic surgery line fillers and botox, yes. Lots of frau chatter of whether she had a brow lift or its because her thick brows are better manicured and lightened now.

Its also tons of makeup and her hair is no longer the dark brown it was. She's always been quite beautiful. Now they are their own mini-celebrities; you do the math on how much you can estimate their salaries to be now. I'm guessing its a lot. What is it about QVC? With all the other shopping channels, QVC is the only one I have ever watched, or would watch. Another rumor is a typical clueless frau rumor that he had an affair with the obviously lesbian and long-term partnered I've heard Meredith Laurence that appeared on his Sunday cooking shows with him.

What I find more interesting is Bowersox's recent appearance in a gay indie film, and his divorce from his wife Toni not long after his firing. Maybe he was another one of those late-in-life gays. I'm addicted to watching QVC even though I don't order anything, but boy am I craving those fucking dipped apples.

Okay, this thread, and the swooning over David Venable and "Oscar", once and for all proves that most of the supposed "Fraus" invading DL are just frau-ish gay men. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I always dvr the Gourmet Holiday slot on the Sunday before Christmas.

Watching that fat gay guy Does Wen work all that well? Chaz Dean, BTW, seems nice enough but has chimp-lip syndrome—where there's too much space between the nose and the top lip. Yeah, he got married to horse-faced Judy Crowell for a hot minute and then abruptly left the network. I could swear it was because Judy caught him fucking a guy. OK if you lived in Dallas in the 80s you might recall Bradley and Twinkle Bayoud, the young "It" socialites of that era.

From Texas Monthly March Doin' the Social Climb From the heights of the Dallas social heap, they leaped to the national celebrity circuit. Rich, young, and fashionable, Twinkle and Bradley Bayoud are a case study on how to rise to the top. The year-old heartthrob claims that immediately after the split Judy began spreading vicious rumors that he was gay and had a serious drinking problem.

A furious Hewson resigned from the network on Friday, November 5, saying he was sick of his ex-wife's antics and QVC's refusal to do anything about it. Judy started making scenes. She seemed to delight in humiliating me in public," he said. We haven't given it a chance. She never even moved into my home.

I feel she married me just to get ahead. Judy's love for me was all an act. She went after me because I was a star. She's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Mr. Hyde came out after we married. But they did nothing. QVC made matters worse when they offered him a ridiculous new 5-year contract. When I looked at that, and thought of my ex-wife's viciousness, I decided I'd had enough," he said. Hewson now hopes to land a job hosting a TV game show, and he's thrilled to finally be rid of his ex-wife.

My fans will definitely see me again—a lot happier and with an even more beautiful woman. I love Isaac, he's gonna make a shitload of money selling on QVC. The fraus are all in a tizzy already. You should hear them squeal when they call in to talk to him, lol. I didn't like WEN and Ojon either. At first I liked WEN. My naturally curly hair was shiny, bouncy, and flat out beautiful.

Then I developed strange scabs and patches of flaky skin on my scalp. It was seborrhea. My scalp cleared up, and I haven't any problems since. Ojon made my hair oily and flat. It was too heavy for my fine, naturally curly hair. On the plus side, I didn't develop seborrhea. I still experiment with products, but I try to stick to organic ones that have received positive reviews from multiple sites and people. This thread made my day. I seriously have to say that Dennis Basso's faux furs are fantastic.

I ordered a mink faux fur blanket, and it's incredible in every way. The blanket is very well made, and it feels and looks like real fur. They are heavy, and really warm blankets. I highly recommend his things. I know he sounds like a big flaming queen who wears caftans around his house, but to my astonishment I thought I heard someone say he is married?

I got to give Isaac Mizrahi high credit. Then he pulled himself up again selling to the mass market, and now he is doing much better. I think that is great. I once read on a gossip website that is just gossip focused on all the tv shopping networks that David is a real, real jerk! This guy was on this gossip website he said, he and his wife were friends with someone who worked on QVC.

The friend said, once the cameras stop rolling, David is a different person. Also, David treats the staff on there badly. I wonder if David put that handsome short sales guy on the spot like that to be a real jerk? David knows, of course, that sales guy is gay, and I think it was rude to put him on the spot like that when filming.

Check out the QVC Bloopers on youtube they are hilarious. They showed some old footage of Mike Rowe. I Oh My Gosh! He Makes Me Tremble. He is still superbly hot, but in a mature way. Does anyone know if Mike Rowe is gay or not? I am aware there was a thread on DL already on this subject, but I think the conversation kind of lead to nowhere. Dennis refers to his wife-but that doesn't mean he isn't a big flaming queen who wears caftans around the house. Yes, I remember when Pat James Dementri was just married, she talked about her hubby non-stop.

She used to come across as a ditzy bubble headed blonde, never got information correct. Now that she's aged she just seems vapid and slow, looks like a drinker. To a woman. I can't believe he doesn't play for our team. I just put it on now.

David is hosting a Gardening hour with the most disturbing-looking queen I have ever seen.
