Exactly 5 months after my 1st mammogram and biopsy.
Finished my final chemo Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012!
I was cashed out right away after this one. Not even one ok day! Just straight into the nausea and no eating.
Popsicles and mashed potatoes is about all I can stomach so far!
If the past is any indication on how this is gonna go, I will be worse for about a week then slowly creep out of hell week!
My eyelashes and eyebrows are slowly growing back. Same with my head hair. Weird cuz I am still on chemo!
Guess the Taxol (1st chemo) was the hair stealer and F.E.C. (big guns) doesn't have the same effect! It's so exciting to see stubble coming through!!!
My fingernails on the other hand are not lookin so good. They are peeling back and just kill! The Doc said that is a common side effect from this chemo.
So found out today that I have to have a different surgeon. She is Dr. Neimark's partner. Supposedly she searched a long time for the perfect partner and she is just of a perfectionist as Dr. Neimark so that's good to hear! We are gonna meet with her Monday after fluids. I am sure she will be great! Dr. Neimark is going to be out of town and because my cancer is so aggressive she is not willing to have me wait to do the surgery!
So I am hopin I will love this new Dr. But I believe everything happens for a reason in God's world so its meant to be!
I gotta have Faitha Faitha Faitha...BAAAABY!
Louise Hay, an author whom I adore and wrote a book called "You Can Heal Your Life" says the only diet that actually works is a mental diet - dieting from negative thoughts.
So here's to my new diet!
She also said, "It doesn't matter how long we have had a negative pattern. The point of power is in the present moment. What a wonderful thing to realize! We can begin to be free in this moment!"
LOVE IT!
To celebrate my last day of chemo I did just that!
PINK WIG
BIG SMILE
THEY SANG
I GOT A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION!!!
I got a lot of smiles from that place!
It was totally worth it!
Spreadin some cheer!
Sad that my grandparents month visit has flown by so fast!
Can't remember if I said that they had rented out a condo two floor above ours for the month of Feb but they did and it was amazing!
They helped out so much!
I can't thank them enough for all the babysitting, baths, playing school and Target, swimming and of course food by Grams! Nothin compares to comfort food...well when I can eat!
And Gramps kept Anthony busy on the golf course! lol! And the casinos!
And they just loved me to pieces when I needed it!
