I wake up every morning with the intention of getting a lot done. Today was not
the phone call day. I need to make calls but other stuff came up. There
was birthday
celebrations, soccer in the
rain and taking care of myself and the household over the weekend.
Doesn't sound like a lot but the energy level prevents me from being that super
everything. I really want to get away from that lifestyle and relax more. The
bumps are fading and the part time
job is a very slow process
My youngest son turned ten this past week. He has joined the
double digit club. He loved his cake and hopefully will have his party this
weekend. Sometimes the days go by to fast. We all managed to eat out for his
birthday. Nothing fancy, but was nice to all sit down to eat and have laughter
together.
My son played soccer in the light rain Saturday, which I was
surprised about, seeing that they cancel practices during the week when it has
rained. He likes soccer a lot and it is good exercise.
My doctor’s appointment with my oncologist went good. Since
it was close to my two month checkup, he decided to do that as well. Did my
blood work and was given a prescription for my bumps. Doxycycline. Said it
looked more like blocked hair follicles. They are disappearing now. I take the
meds for ten days. I’m curious to see what happens after I’m done and the meds
are out of my system. Tip: Take the Doxycycline two hours after you eat, since
you have a choice. Especially in the morning. less chance the stomach will get
upset. I have made my two big appointments. My PET scan is the end of October
and my mammogram is the end of November. Very important test and feel positive
all will be okay. To think otherwise would put me in a state of mind not wanting
to go back to, knowing the routine all to well.
The job prospect is slow. Making sure of my contacts and
feeling good about the way I look. My body and hair has been through quite a bit
this past year. It has been ten months since my diagnosis. My biggest fear to
overcome is going for interviews. Do I wear a bandana or let them see my hair as
is? Coloring is the easy part. Showing my short hair is harder for me to get
over. The wig is out. To hot. It’s a process to go through that I
hope no one else has to endure. I am sad writing this part and want to cry but
will finish up and go see my mom. I need to try and stay busy until a new and
good opportunity opens up for me. I deserve it. I do appreciate all I have in
life and want to give back, but need to work financially too.
My husband and I will celebrate our 24th
anniversary next Monday. I want to say thank you to him for being there all
these wonderful years. All the joys and sad times we made it through. Our Love
is very strong and look forward to many more years together. Becoming
grandparents(girls please) and just enjoying life. I love you.
My Faith will keep me strong and my Family will make me
smile. Life is good.
