Hello everybody,
A quick update for ya. I finished chemo!!!! It felt so good to close that chapter of this journey. I even saw my doctor that day and finally got an idea of what’s next. I started taking a pill called Anastrozole (aromatase inhibitor) for 5 years. Its a hormone-blocking medication [...]

Hello hello hello,
Wow, SO much has happened since I last wrote. I’ll try to fill you all in and try not to bore you at the same time. We had been told by both doctors that the 7c tumor had disappeared and that all I needed was a lumpectomy, which is where [...]

The Summer…
Hello everybody,
I’m finally in the clinic having my 4th chemo and my last for now. I had to put off this chemo for a week because my blood counts were too low. I was put on a strict red meat diet, breakfast, lunch and dinner for a whole week. I ended up eating a lot [...]

I’am THE Most Blessed Woman on the Earth
Hello wonderful bloggers,
This has been a very productive week. I’ve had lots of energy (even though towards the evening my skin or bones start to hurt like the flu). I think its just from over doing it sometimes, but I am thankful for these moments of feeling better.
This Tuesday is my doctors appointment and we’ll [...]

Hello everybody,
Sorry again for not writing. I spoke too soon in my last blog, saying that this chemo was better than the first. Well, there defiantly is incredible news, but not without a price. The doctor examined me and could hardly believe that the tumor AND the lymph nodes [...]

Salvation
Hey everybody,
Yeaaah, I actually felt pretty good most of the day yesterday and today. Towards the evening, its like I have the flu or something, my skin hurts…crazy, but I’m loving not feeling nauseous. I even ate real food like cereal, with milk. I’m testing the waters carefully, I am actually getting ready for Thanksgiving [...]

Good news
Hello my blog family,
Some really good news. I went to the doctor the other day and he measured the tumor. Apparently it was a size 7 (which he never told us, probably didn’t want to scare us), but when he checked it this time it was a 4. Even he was pleasantly surprised, after only [...]

I LOVE church!!! I love MY church!!! I had the best time this morning. There is something supernatural that happens when we come together and worship. It energizes and strengthens.
It motivates and brings life. Just like I talked about in my last blog, how I was feeling after chemo. Well, Saturday evening, I still wasn’t [...]

Wow, what a bummer few days. Chemo is not fun. Mostly the feelings of nauseous. I have always had weird reactions to medication or anesthesia, so you can imagine chemo.
The day of chemo was actually easy. I went in early, they give you a recliner chair (Robert said it looked like a spa), all [...]

Hey it’s me again
Went to the doctors today to have the “port” or lets call it a tube, put in my vein. Under the skin. Starting from my neck down to my chest near the cancer. CRAZY! They put me to sleep and it didn’t hurt (until later), but this will make the chemo [...]

Friday I found out that I’ve been diagnosed with an advanced form of breast cancer. They also did a biopsies of my cervices because they found polyps.
