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

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

Feeling good and growing hair!

I have been doing really good and I am feeling so energetic! It’s nice to feel good. I know a lot has to do with having baby Jeffrey around to snuggle on whenever I want to. He is just an absolute doll. All he does is  eats, sleeps, and poops at this stage! That’s it! He is starting to have a little more awake time in between feeding and I love holding him and looking into his eyes wondering if he can see me and I keep saying, “I’m Grandma”. I have been getting the camper ready for our camping trip. I can’t wait to go.  Pam, Mike and my mom, and Sue and Steve are going too. Our campers are all in a row. It is right on Lake Michigan. I am really looking forward to it. I have Bonnie all set with the bottle routine and things like that. I love making the bottles for her though. I remember when Jeffrey was born I used glass bottles and had a steam sterilizer that I would cram everything into. She is doing the platex drop ins and they are so easy. We just boil some water and put the nippl
