Where's Baldo?

I have Chemo #4 on Monday.  It seems like I just found out that I had breast cancer and now I am half way done with the chemotherapy.I had exactly 2 really good days this round of treatment, yesterday and today. I have been full of energy!

We had a great time shopping on Friday. I went with Sue, Pam and Jeffrey. Jeff went too but sat in the car, I let him go home after I caught him snoozing in the van and about scared the crap out of him when I knocked on the window.  I had a moment where I got really tired but I got a second wind and shopped some more. We started out at 5:00 a.m. at Meijer. Then we went to the mall. When we were there we lost track of Jeffrey and he kept calling me on the cell phone. We kept losing connection and he was getting so frustrated. When he finally found us he said "that was like playing Where's Waldo." Then he said, "no  it was really like playing Where's BALDO!!"  We all laughed so hard. He has his dad's sense of humor.   We got really good deals. I saved so much money.  I am on a budget this year so I have to watch out for the good sales!  When we were done we went to Red Lobster. (I love the cheesy biscuits) By the time I got home I was so tired. I napped for a little while and then ended up getting sick. Uggg.

Sue snuck out of church to call me and tell me to meet them for breakfast this morning. We usually go every Sunday.  I called Jeffrey because he was going out to breakfast with his girlfriend Bonnie. They already ate so they met us at the other restaurant just to see everyone. It was so nice to go again. I haven't been feeling up to it so I really enjoyed it.

I cut Jeff and Jeffrey's hair tonight. I haven't cut their hair in so long they were looking like cavemen.....(sorry Geico caveman guy) hee hee.  I've cut Jeff's hair for 22 years and Jeffrey's for 20. They won't go to a shop and get it done. They are so spoiled!

LOL!  Your son has got a great sense of humor - and you too!  It's amazing how it seems that your good days are as amazingly good as your bad days are horribly bad.  I'm glad you got some good deals!  I'm jealous.  I'm so far behind on everything.  I hope your chemo is kinder to you tomorrow.  Take care.

LOL at the Baldo comment!  The important thing with Cancer is to never, ever lose your sense of humor!  That and optimism will get you through anything! :)

Hi Trish, I am so glad you were able to do Thanksgiving and your shopping tradition!  I have been thinking about you all day as I knew it was your chemo day.  Last AC, right?  Mine is tomorrow.  I am dreading it but at the same time I can't wait to get it over with!  I hope you are feeling as well as can be expected and that this one doesn't hit you too hard!
Hugs, Kristin

Hang in Trish.  Sorry I haven't called, don't want to bother you if you aren't feeling good, but know that we think of you every day and keep you in our prayers.  Hope to see you at Christmas even if you guys can only get by here for a few minutes.

Hi, just checking in with you. Glad to hear that you are out and about enjoying life, even in the midst of chemo. I`m at the tail end of my treatment. I still get very tired at times.

Hi Trish, That reference to Baldo was hilarious! Glad you got to shop till you dropped, literally. Congrats on getting halfway through. For me, halfway is 7th treatment, kinda half since I have to have 15 weekly of the Adriamycin. I know that is taking its toll on making me so lethargic, but I think its the Cytoxan pills that I have to take everyday that is messing up my stomach and all. No word on what we will do after that. The Onc Doc hasnt mentioned anything beyond the 15 weeks. I am having a 2nd MRI of the breast to see how the chemo so far is affecting the cancer. Well, take care, talk to you soon. All my love and prayers to you, always, Blessings, Barbara

Here we go again

And  here we go again. Really? Really?!!! My biggest fear has come true. After eleven years of looking over my shoulder this stupid cancer has come back. I'm more pissed off than scared. Every year I was cancer free, I would announce to anyone that would listen, "it's been five years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, it's been ten years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer" I just reached eleven years in August of 2017 and said with pride, "it's been eleven years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer" This sucks! I am devastated. I just don't want to go through this again. I know what I'm in for......

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe I haven't been on my blog in so long. The days go by so fast and I have been so busy. So much has gone I on don't even know where to start. My mom had a second surgery on her knee. She is doing ok but has been in a lot of pain. She has therapy and the guy has been bending it 100%. I know she is just really bored with being stuck in the house. She is starting to get out more a little here and there though. My computer crashed and I lost all my pictures!! I was a little upset but I'm over it now. Most of them were my vacations pictures. I saved a lot of the pictures of the baby and my kids stuff but I never got around to saving my folder and then CRASH!!! Oh well, life goes on..It's weird how you change after something like cancer...when things like my computer crashing happens it just doesn't feel like the end of the world anymore. lol Megan went on Spring Break to Florida and I was a nervous wreck! I tracked her plane all the way there. I called

MIA

I have been missing in action here for a while. My mom is doing pretty good. She is on her third cast now. I think she is just really getting bored with being stuck in the house all the time. We have been going over to see her a lot. The other night we all went over and played poker. Wednesday I we over to have lunch with Mom, Pam, Sue and Megan. We played bingo and Pam even bought prizes. It was so fun. We are just trying to keep her busy because she is a little stir crazy. She will be getting the cast off soon and they will put a softer cast on that will help her gradually bend her knee. Then she has to go in and have the wire taken out that they put in when she had surgery. Her knee still looks awful. Sue took pictures of it when they did the cast change and she has 15 staples and it is still very swollen. I just can't believe she is going through this. I have been on a diet for 3 weeks. So far I've lost 8 pounds! I just cut out all the junk food and snacking at night. I am
