LAST CHEMO FRIGGIN THERAPY!

That's right folks... done with chemo FOREVER! Just got back home about an hour ago and I'm ready to celebrate!!!!!!!!!! (shirley temple anyone?!) And yes, my shirt does say what you think it does and yes I did wear it to my last treatment!

Thought of the Day

ONE MORE TO GO

One last poison ..... scheduled for Friday, March 13th... yes Friday the 13th. But I'm putting aside my superstition cause it's going to be a good day!

I'm getting tired. Very tired. Falling asleep sitting up. Headaches abound and a sinus infection that just won't quit. I'm ready for a vacation, many of them. Far far away from my doctor's office and the infusion room!

Wound up getting wig #4. My long one is nearing the end of it's life... need to get it serviced and possibly cut cause I was so aggravated with it I took some hot rollers to it and "sort of" ruined the ends:-)

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!)
