This past Wednesday my brother and father joined me for chemo. It was nice to have the first two men I ever loved join me. We were going to dress like firefighters, but it was a mission to find the same thing for all three of us to wear. My brother Kenny had T-shirts made… Continue reading 3 more to go…..
The countdown has begun…
I have officially started my count down.... 5 more weeks to go. AMEN!! I prayed last night. I prayed for God to give me the strength to make it through these next 5 weeks. I only have 5 more chemo treatments left, but I am so tired. Emotionally I am over it and my poor… Continue reading The countdown has begun…
Welcome to the Pity Party!!
So, it's been one of those days. It's time for a "pity party"... I guess it was bound to happen. You can only stay positive for so long. Your body gets tired and it starts to take a toll on your spirit. Richard just reminded me that it's been 107 days since I was diagnosed… Continue reading Welcome to the Pity Party!!
Thankful
I know! I have been slacking. I have had so many things on my mind, but haven't had the time to just sit and write it all down. We just finished decorating our Christmas tree and Richard reminded me that we have had 10 amazing years together. We looked at all the ornaments that we… Continue reading Thankful
Guilt
I have been contemplating all day whether or not to write this blog. I kept thinking it might be too personal or that it showed weakness. But then I realized that someone out there might be feeling the same way and something I say might make them feel at ease... so here goes: It's AMAZING… Continue reading Guilt

Round 2…
Yesterday, October 27th I had my second chemo teaching. That's when your Medical team explains to you the dos and don'ts, and what the side effects will be of your new chemotherapy. I just finished my round of AC. Next Wednesday, I start my "weekly" 12 rounds of Taxol. I refuse to google the side… Continue reading Round 2…
Chemo with my dad
On Wednesday, October 19th I had my 4th chemo session. This was the last of this treatment. I will be starting a new chemo next week. Now I won't get a break in between sessions. I will have weekly treatments for the next 3 months. Its supposed to be a less aggressive medicine, but I… Continue reading Chemo with my dad
Does Anger make you weak?
I have to be honest, this past weekend was tough. After Chemo #3 (on October 5th) I was left feeling emotional and sad. I think "ANGER" finally started to settle in, which upset me. I think I have been really good about all of this and to start feeling angry now made me feel weak and frustrated.… Continue reading Does Anger make you weak?
