Feeling better!

I went to the oncologist Monday and when he saw how sick I was and how bad my chest was rattling they hooked my up with  IV antibiotics.  I also had a shot of steroids. I am already starting to feel better! I had more energy today than I have had in 3 weeks! I even cooked for my family!  I had to sit down a lot but it was nice to get up and do something.  Monday I couldn't even walk to my bathroom and today I cleaned it! hee hee. I can honestly say that the way I feel today makes me know that I will be ok. I was getting scared there for a while when I wasn't bouncing back from that last chemo.

My mom came today and did all my laundry. I just can't walk up and down the stairs.  She has gone to all my appointments with me!  I love her so much.

Megan's 18th birthday is tomorrow!  I can't believe my little baby girl is growing up. :(

I have to go next Monday and have all my scans done. A bone scan, and a CT scan of my abdomen, thorax and pelvis. I just know that it will all turn out ok.  I will start radiation after my tests are done. I am so ready to have my life back. This had been one heck of a ride. One that I don't ever want to get on again!

Good news!  You even sound like you are feeling better!  And hopeful.  Um, I don't think cleaning is the FIRST thing that I'd do - but I certainly understand the satisfaction you got from being able to do something NORMAL.  Good luck on all your tests.  I hope they can get it all done at once, and not a long series of things.
Take care,  Stephanie

Trish glad you are feeling better....know its been a long hard road, you keep hanging in there dear.  Want to mention something you may already know about, but if you haven't read or heard about this want to pass on to you.  Prior to starting radiation, the sooner the better, take daily some ginger, be it in spice form, tea, gingersnap cookies....read years ago in a Doctors column how this helps with the burning sensations, etc. that radiation can cause.  Have past this on to many folks having radiation including my Sis Mary Ann and it seems to have helped them all.  Arlene (AJ)

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
