Surviving Step By Step: As our Summer comes to an End

Friday, 14 August 2009 07:27 Last Updated on Friday, 14 August 2009 07:39

Doctor's appointments, treatments, VBS, orientations and packing suitcases. All in a weeks worth of "Things to get Done". When will it all slow down. I slow done when the tiredness comes over me. I add the leftover stuff to the next days list. Fridays list was very long. There are a few more items to tackle. I already know which ones will get done. Grocery shopping is first. I promised my family some Lasagne for saturday. They deserve it after the long summer with my emotions.

Surviving Step by Step: Summer more enjoyable

It is so nice to go out and enjoy myself, now that I'm not sore or extremely tired. I feel happier and in tune with the world. The days seem to be flying by so fast and my children will be in school soon. I have had a good week.

My weekend was wonderful. Accomplished a few items on my "To Do" list. Went on a girls afternoon out and really had a great time. I haven't been away from all the boys in a long time. :) Will do it again soon. Have a baby shower to attend this Saturday.

Surviving Step by Step: Many tests to Come

My blood work came back good. My six-month checkup with my surgeon is soon. I will see my radiology oncologist in the middle of August and my medical oncologist toward the end of September. After my breast cools down, there will be a baseline mammogram and a PET scan to follow. I need to have an Echo test of my heart because of the Herceptin treatments done weekly. WOW!!! Quite a lot coming up, but I'm ready to begin.

Surviving Step by Step: Graduated from Radiation Therapy

Thursday, 16 July 2009 05:54 Last Updated on Thursday, 16 July 2009 05:56

My radiation is done!! My skin is cooked, but now the healing process will begin. The tenderness and broken skin will get better day by day and my unusual tan will begin to fade away. I’m excited and feel alive with hope. Thanks to everyone during this treatment time who made things better for my family and I.
