Feeling Stronger Every Day!

I am feeling so much better. It has been 1 month since my last treatment and I am finally starting to feel a little normal again. I went to work Friday and Monday. Monday I didn’t last the entire 2 hours. I got really tired and could not stand up any more. I got home and crawled into bed and stayed there for a while. It was such a beautiful day, and I thought I should be outside but then I knew there would be more nice days ahead of me. Jeff made me stay home from work today. He thinks I overdo it. And I do. I go until I drop.

My son's girlfriend Bonnie moved in with us over the weekend. I came home from work yesterday and she was like Cinderella cleaning everything in the house! I told her you clean and I will feed you…hee hee. I can’t believe that in 3 months I will be a grandma! They are so cute together and love each other so much.

I am so proud of Megan, she is a great artist. She is so good at portraits. She can take a picture of someone and draw it perfectly. She just sold another one and she has 3 more orders. If anyone is interested email me and I will hook you up with the best up and coming artist!! She does a great job. She does animals too! I posted some of her work. I am a proud momma!

I have a doctor’s appointment April 2. I still don’t have the results of my CT scan. I am thinking no news is good news!

I think I made my dog lazy. All he does is lay around all day now. I don’t even have to be there. He used to follow me around all day, but all I did way lay around the last 2 months so he got used to it.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Relay for Life. I will walk a lap in honor of you at the Relay. If anyone is interested in the Relay there is a link on the side bar of my main journal page.

She's a wonderful artist!!  You must be proud.  I'm glad you are feeling better.  Just in time for a new little baby!  Will they be living with you for a while?  Babies are always a picker-upper.  Oops, I haven't gone to your relay page yet.  Gonna dash there now!

I feel bad.  This is my first time visiting your journal.  My mom has battled breast cancer twice.  The episodes were 20 years apart.  This last one was one year ago.  Hang in there.  Every day you'll feel better and better.  My mom is now feeling better than she ever has.

I enjoyed the sketch.  I am so glad you got through the terrible ordeal of chemo.  My two sisters both went through chemo, one of them again when she came out of remission.  She had ovarian cancer that had metastisized before discovered.  My sister Ann's breast cancer had not.  She did not even have it in her lymph nodes.  So she is still going strong.  She was an inspiration to many.  Gerry

I loved your daughter's work. I will email you. I'm not sure what picture I would want done. I wish I had looked sooner. This would have been a great Mother's Day gift for my daughter.
Take care, Chrissie

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
