Feeling good!

I am having a good day! I have not had one ache or pain at all. I was in such a funk for the last few weeks and I started to snap out of it on Friday. I feel a little tired but that’s it. Yay!! I even went out to dinner with Pam, Mike and Jeffrey . Saturday I went to the show with Sue and Brad and then we went to the grocery store. On the way home from the show Brad my sisters son said, “mom remember when I thought Hooters was a donut shop because of the 2 big owl O’s in the word Hooters.” I laughed so hard! I think everyone has seen the Hooters sign somewhere. I think we all gawk when we go by...lol

I am really losing my eyelashes and eyebrows now and it looks so weird. If I put on eyeliner you can’t tell unless you look really close but it does make me look like a cancer patient. My hair is starting to grow! It is getting all fuzzy on the top like a chick. Jeff called me a chia pet last night. lol

I am just happy to be in a good mood! But…..Monday I get another treatment. It is number 6 so only 2 more after that. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I just wonder if this treament is going to hit me as hard as the last. I really hope not.

The Genetic Lab called and the blood sample they took didn’t have any white cells in it so they have to draw more blood for my tests when I go in for chemo on Monday. I still don’t know how I feel about this Gene test they are doing. But I am doing it just to see what’s going on in this body of mine. What I will do with the information, I still have no idea.

I have been so bored!

These are the things that I have been doing that make me know that I am bored out of my mind….

1. I watched America’s Next Top Model Marathon on VH1 for about 4 days straight.

2. I am watching a Africam online. This is a camera in Africa that shows a watering hole and wild animals that visit it. So far I have seen 2 elephants, some giraffes, a few birds and 2 ducks. I spotted a blur of what I think might have been a tiger but I’m not sure. (I might have missed a few animals while I turned my head to watch America’s Next Top Model)

3. I have redecorated my living room in my head about 100 times.

4. I have looked in the refrigerator and freezer about 1,000 times.

5. I have balanced my checkbook to the penny.

6. I cleaned out my purse and found a receipt from Walgreen dated for June.

7. I have been through all my “favorites” online, and deleted the ones that are not my favorite anymore.

8. I cleaned out the silverware drawer!!. You know your bored when you do that.

9. I have stopped and looked in the mirror 100 times to look at the eyebrow and eyelash dilemma.

10. I have counted the hairs on my head that are starting to grow and even thought about measuring one that I think might be an inch long.

The funny thing is, I have done all this…and my little Christmas tree is still up! Too funny!

I just spotted a herd of something deer? Gazelles? And a monkey! I’m going back to watch the Africam. Here’s the link if your as bored as I am…http://www.wavelit.com/index.asp?ch=Wildlife&sh=africam

Trish... BIG BIG hugs for you!!  You are so awesome!  Not only are you feeling better, which makes me want to jump for joy (literally), but you are being fun and silly, and I love it!  This entry was the best one I've read all day because I could feel your positive, happy vibes traveling straight through my computer screen!  I pray that your next chemo is good for you, and you know what?  With as beautiful a face as you have, who needs eyebrows or eyelashes??  We should all be so lucky! :)

You keep up that awesome attitude, girl!  You are right around the corner from being done with all this!!  

Now.. I'm going to check out that link you left!

Big hugs and lots of love

Okay, it's later tonight, after we IM'd and the boys were put to bed, and I saw the duck.  It stood, then sat, then pooped and then tucked his head under for a nap.  LOL!  You are too funny.  It's good to hear you are feeling good.  oh!  now it's two ducks and they are squawking.  It's good imagery for you while you are getting your chemo tomorrow.  :-)  I hope this round isn't so rough on you.  Take care.  The light is definitely at the end of the tunnel!!

Not Feeling So Well...

Hi everyone, this is Trish's sister Sue again.  Trish has not been feeling too well and on Friday we had to take her to the ER department.  She is so weak and was very close to having pneumonia.  She has been on antibiotics for 12 days now and they are concerned about why she is not getting better.  Needless to say, we are very worried.  She feels a little better today, but is on oxygen and just has absolutely no energy.  They have been giving her breathing treatments since yesterday, and some other medicines in her IV.  They are bringing in an infectious disease doctor to see if they can pinpoint what is going on.  She will be there until at least Monday.  She has her scans (right there) on Monday too.  We'll keep you posted - please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

My last Oncologist appointment for a while!

I went to the Oncologist last Wednesday and he reassured me that everything is fine! I am so happy. I have been so worried but he walked in the door and I said, “hi, it’s your two favorite people” (me and My mom) and he said your right! Then he said “congratulations!” Your MRI came back clean! I don’t have to go back and see him for 3 months. You don’t know how happy that makes me. I am so sick of that place. He said to go ahead and make the appointments to get my port out and he also thinks it is a good idea like my surgeon suggested that I get the colonoscopy at the same time. I have to call and make the appointment this week. Yay! I get to have my port out. Besides the boy haircut I have the port is one of the last remaining reminders that I HAD breast cancer. I like saying HAD! He also put me on some medicine for the neuropathy that I am having. (arms and feet going numb) He said it is nerve damage from the Taxotere. That was one of the chemo drugs I was on. I also have to take Cen...

My Sister Sharon, My Inspiration

I have something I want to share with everyone. Some of you know my sister Sharon died from breast cancer. What you don't know is that she was a great writer. I have read her thoughts before but now they have a whole new meaning to me. When I would read them I would always think about what she must have been going through at the time, and now I know. She was an inspiration to me and to everyone around her. Here is something that I came across that I can relate to in certain ways. I know I have some friends out there that have had mastectomies that will find this a great inspiration. It is called Self Love. Today I will make friends with the area of my body that has been through surgery. I will look at myself in the mirror and not think of myself as disfigured just because I look different. I will focus on the fact that once, where there used to be a mound of flesh, there is now a flatter more hollow surface that, when touched, puts me that much closer to my heart and soul.  I wi...
