Hi all,It’s been a few days so I thought I would check in. So, it is finally happening. My hair is beginning to fall out. It started yesterday just a little bit but today it has been coming out a lot. I am finding my hair everywhere. It is stuck on my shirt, on the…

I wanted to give everyone an update with how I am doing. I am beginning to feel better. I had thought last Sunday was my worst day but I had spoken too soon. The first part of this week was rough, very rough. But I believe I am past it now. I am still achy…

Yay, I made it through the weekend! Yesterday was probably the worst day. This weekend I felt like I was in the first trimester of pregnancy and on top of that yesterday I felt like I had the flu (you know the body aches / can’t get comfortable type). I woke up this morning feeling…

It’s been almost 24 hours now since my first chemo treatment. I don’t want to jinx myself but so far I am feeling pretty good. I hear day #3 is usually the worst so for those that will be in church on Sunday please say an extra prayer for me. Other than some tiredness and…

I am home now from the chemo. Feeling a little tired but overall feel great, so far. The process went well. Had a great private room that overlooked a flower garden, waterfall, and putting green. It was quiet there with only a few others getting their chemo at the same time. I came home to…

Today has been a rough day for me. I have been tender sore all day. It is just basically uncomfortable to breath in or move around much. I am surprised by the amount of tenderness and pain from getting the port implanted. When I look at the area it just grosses me out. I think…

Today I had my surgery and had the port put in. I am bruised and sore and glad to be home. I checked into the hospital at 12:45 and had my half hour surgery at 4:00 and was home around 6:30. You will never believe this but I had the most peaceful dream during surgery…

Today I went wig shopping with my friend Melanie. I have to say I am pretty excited with what I picked out. I got a real hair wig that will match my current style and color. This wig will arrive in two weeks. No blonde or red hair for me. Sticking to what looks more…

Well, the results from my tumor Oncotype DX test came in last Friday. Got the results as I was walking to school to pick up my kids. So, if you saw me crying at school last Friday that was why. I am in the intermediate risk category for having a recurrence. Closer to the low…
