Home from #3 Tax, total treatments so far 7 and a new Foob update!

7 DOWN AND 1 TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doc is saying I'm going to get knocked down hard with my alst 2 treatments. Oh joy oh bliss. Wanna come and have a pity party with me ya'll??? Oh just kidding. Im feeling better these days on the emotional side anyway. Tuesday I had my first cry fest. OIE.

I especially feel good and my foobs. I think I might be filled to capacity, or at least very close to it. My last fill on Tuesday actually is causing me a little bit of pain, just alot of stretchy and feeling very... FULL! One things I just realized is that in the summer I can wear little sexy strapless backless numbers, WITHOUT A BRA! and not worry about saggy boobs and jigglying all over the place.

Ah yes... summer shoppin is goin be fun!!!!!!!

Thursday will be my 7th chemo treatment. After this I will have one more then I will be done! Wohooooo! Then in April it's off to 6 weeks of radiation treatment. A whole new journey in itself. Can't wait:-)

Took Isabelle for a potty reward this weekend. Went to Build a Bear workshop Friday nite, then Saturday we surprised her with a pony ride. Oh you should have seen the smirk on that girls face! PRICELESS!

Bye Bye Hair Again!!!!! & Happy V-Day!

February 14, 2090

Happy V-Day! As u can see my girl love her cake!

Well ok I knew my hair would fall out... again.. but for some reason it's bothering me more this time. I pulled some clumps out this morning. Today is Day 3 of my 2nd Taxotere treatment. I guess I was getting used to that fine 1" of hair on my head. It was coming in so nice too, not curly or nappy and my original color.
Anywho... this treatment was a little different then 2 weeks ago. More fatique and I've been fealing a bit queezy, but nothing horrible. Oh and I don't have the steroid craze I had last time... SCHUCKS!!!!!! But still managed to bake a cake for V-day (what's up with me and baking these days?!?)

Home from treatment, and got my Gene Testing Results!

February 12, 2009

Treatment went well, uneventful. Home sipping tea and ready to go on the couch and watch some soaps.

My BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene testing results came back ....... NEGATIVE! See.... that bird shit did mean something after all! :-) Kuddos to my Chemogod's nurse Ellen, she really pushed the insurance company to get them to approve the test. Otherwise we would have waited a while to get it done cause it costs $3,000 (and it's just a blood test!)

Getting ready for treatment #2 (actually #6)

February 11, 2009

Going for more "stuff" tomorrow morning. And I finally slept thru the entire night last nite, first time in 2 whole weeks! And just in time to start my steroid craze tonight and for the next 5 days! Let's see what kind of projects I do this time.

Took a 1-2 mile walk lunch time today, first time since the summer, and man did that feel good!
(It's also 65 out today!)

Foob Update

February 10, 2009

Today is exactly 2 months since I had my surgery. And check me out... 2 words for ya'll... YEAH BABY!

Gene Testing

My insurance company finally approved my genetic testing for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene tests. It's the breast and ovarian cancer gene. Not sure what happens if I test positive, but it's a pretty important test. It'll be good to know for Isabelle when she gets older and also for other females in my family. I know if the ovarian is positive then I will have my ovaries removed. Should have the results in 2 weeks.

Ok... so I know you all think the prior post is pretty disgusting. BUT... considering that this test was approved on the same afternoon of the bird poo.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:-)
