I'm fine! After 5 days I felt human again, so I've lived my life, enjoyed myself and stayed away from the computer recreationally. I'm off to chemo #2 in 10 minutes, so I'll be lying low again, I'll post bunches of stuff later...
I just found you via The Lawyer Mom. Read through many of your posts...wishing the best for you and amazed you have the attitude you do! You have quite a sense of humor and seem to be facing this with a lot of strength. I'll be following you through your journey and thinking positive thoughts. Kick the cancers butt girlfriend...
I love your blog! I found you thru lawyer mom as well, months ago. She's going to teach me to post pics and sidebars and such. I know that you taught her, and now she'll pass it on to me - sista hood at work. Thank you for your well wishes. The attitude.....it comes and goes, lemme tell ya. But what can you do? So far the good is the connections I've made via the net, "normal folks" like you and LM, and my new precious "cancer buddies". I choose to look at that, those new connections will last far beyond this long, horrible trudge thru treatment - It's a high price to pay, but it's a benefit I'll take as priceless!
I'm 45 year old wife & mom, otherwise totally healthy until I found a lump in my breast 12/24/08 - it was removed 1/30/09 and was cancer. It was a 2.2cm, triple negative (ER -, PR -, HER2 -) Grade III, which they got out via lumpectomy with clean margins. I had 2 mm of cancer cells on my Sentinal lymph node so they removed them all - getting 23 add'l nodes, all completely clean. I started chemo 3/6 - 4 rounds of A/C every other week, then 4 rounds of Taxol every other week, receiving Neulasta shots 24 hrs after each chemo. If I don't get delayed I finish chemo 6/12. 5 weeks later I'll start 6 1/2 weeks of 5 day a week whole breast radiation. My docs are great (NOW) all at UT Southwestern. This blog is to keep my friends & family informed as my ongoing treatment odyssey continues........
