Just got my new "Orders"

January 9, 2009

Saw my chemo God this morning. I LOVE HIM! He always makes me feel good when I am down in the dumps. I told him how much I read online about this and that and the statistical rates of surviving this crap. He told me to "stop reading". So that I am going to do. He is very pleased with everything and says he is "very confident" that I am going to beat this thing. So I am taking that with everything I got and going into my next round of treatments... aka chemofriggintherapy... with gusto! I start on Jan. 29th and these drugs might be "easier" on me then the last ones, but they do still have their side effects. Bone/muscle/joint pain, and a good chance of loosing my fingernails. I need to either keep dark polish on them or keep gloves on when around ultra-violet light... aka outside. I think I'll do the gloves. I have no friggin nails to put polish on anyway. Oh and I'll loose... again...whatever hair I have on my head that started growing back.

So all in all I am feeling pretty good. He says with additional treatments my chances of getting another cancer would be about 10-15% over 5 years. With this said ... LIFE IS A CRAP SHOOT anyway, isn't it?!?

Still very pleased with my foobs! The last fill of 30cc's seems to be the best amount for me so I'll do my next fill early next week. Then I'll be at 200cc's. Gotta say I'm kinda likin the foobs! They're very perky and don't fall underneath your underarms when you lay down:-)
