My, How Time Flies…
It’s almost over. There is one treatment left to go. There will still be a few more months of cancer related tests and appointments, of course. And the port will have to be flushed every six weeks until they decide … Continue reading

It’s Baaack… (Not the cancer!)
You know, I’ve gotten a lot of comments since my diagnosis about how wonderful my attitude was. Several folks along the way have commented on how awesome it was that I was not only able to maintain my sense of … Continue reading

Getting Back to Normal…
Normal. It’s a relative term. But then everything in life is relative. Einstein sure had that right! Every thought, fear, and emotion is relative to our own personal experience and views. “Normalcy” is no different. They (scientists and/or psychologists) spend … Continue reading

Exhaustion…
Wow, I didn’t know I could feel this tired. I swear it wasn’t this bad during the chemo. Or maybe it was and I’ve just forgotten. You know, Chemo Brain and all. Then again, I guess it’s possible, and probably … Continue reading

Signs of Radiation Exposure…
Well, I’m into my third week of radiation treatments. As I was laying there today listening to the machine buzzing while it zapped me, I couldn’t help thinking about Japan and it’s nuclear situation. If the worst were to happen … Continue reading

Bye, Bye Chemo!
Well, I’m finished with the chemo. Been done for a few weeks now, but was waiting for the last of the side effects to fade before posting. Actually, I’d thought about doing a post that detailed my symptoms through that … Continue reading

Seven Down, One More to Go!
Well, I’ve gotten seven of my eight scheduled dense dose chemo treatments. Just one final big bad one to go after this! I am so excited to be done with it. I’ll still keep getting the Herceptin through October or … Continue reading

Sinus Issues, Thanksgiving Dinner, and Other Miscellanies…
Well, I seem to be over my infection issues. Praise the Lord! I have a bit of a sinus cold, though, which is unpleasant, but doesn’t seem to be getting any worse. I always tell Mark that there’s a fine … Continue reading

Thank You, God, for Muscle Relaxers!
So, I’ve got this whole new issue with MAJOR back spasms. NO fun at all. I had a few after the first chemo treatment, but this time around they’ve been much, much worse. Bad enough to literally stop me in … Continue reading

Pluses and Minuses….
As is generally the case with everything in life, chemo treatment comes with it’s share of benefits and problems. Mark has struggled with those problems from day one. Not that I can blame him. Just doing the research about the … Continue reading

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow….
My head has been shaved. Well, not shaved with a razor, but using the trimmer I do Mark’s hair and beard with. I used the shortest guide it had, just to make sure I didn’t get any scratches from the … Continue reading

Sicky Sickness Stay Away
Okay, the dreaded chemo crash that I expected on Wednesday hasn’t really manifested itself. At least, not in any way that I expected. Considering the whole “wrapped in cotton” feeling my brain had on Wednesday, I expected to be counting … Continue reading

Port Placement and First Chemo
I got to the hospital and got my port placed this morning. No problems with it. They used what they called “heavy sedation” which did not put me out completely. I felt almost nothing besides a couple of sharp pinches. … Continue reading
