The month of October is suppose to be a long month, but the days are just
zooming. With only 11 more days left, I have a lot to be thinking about lately.
What will my youngest son be for Halloween? How soon after my PET scan will the
results come? Will I be one of the lucky ones to find a job? Slowly but surely
with a lot of patience, in the end, all things will work out the way they are
suppose to. And, I will go with the flow.
 Halloween costumes are always a work of art when you make them. We usually do
and have a lot of fun in the process. But if my son waits to long to decide, we
may end up buying one. I haven't looked at the store ones yet. This will be the
big weekend to get it done. Right now, there are no major commitments any of us
have that would prevent us from completing the task. I love looking at all the
costumes as we do our Trick or Treating. We always get so much candy that some
is sent with the dad to his work. I also have the children brush their teeth
more during this time. My favorite candy to look for is Heath bars. So
yummy!
In one week, I will have my PET scan. I've been thinking about this
for weeks. In the morning, I will call to confirm my appointment and go over
instructions for the day of the Big test. Even though the procedure doesn't
hurt, my nerves are right up there. I plan to take myself. I should be able to
drive home afterwards. It is just a scary time and we're hoping for good
results. Peace of mind. I feel that all will turn out great. No matter what, the
results will be posted. My next doctors appointment is November 11th. I guess
that is when we all will find out. My husband will come then. That date is also
the day I found my lump. Can hardly believe it has been a whole year since all
this craziness started. I still have three months left of my Herceptin
treatment. Just part of the weekly routine.
Job search is slow. Applied to a few more and checking up on ones put
in a few weeks ago. The economy is slow and this makes it more difficult. I
still hope there is something out there for me. I keep a log sheet of dates and
places that have been researched for possible employment. As long as I keep
trying, that will keep me positive. Every time something gets done, I think of
it as helping out my blood pressure and sleep time. Both of which is important
in my ongoing treatment. I did have a pity party a week ago and afterwards felt
bad. I blew off everything that day(sunday morning), felt guilty and cried while
ironing. By the evening after talking with my husband and sister :), I felt much
better and slept good. It was a hard day. Funny thing though, my blood pressure
was good that wednesday at treatment.
My Faith will keep me strong and my Family will make me smile. Life is
good.
