Having my first chemo drip now!
Pink ladies, you were right! The fear and anticipation was worse than the actual process. Even though I have anti-nausea drugs, I am not feeling too great right now but I will remain positive. My extremely supportive brother is here with me, and I am sooo grateful! By the way, I had my pre-chemo party last night and it was…

Interesting OT
OK I thought this was funny. I'm sitting here reading posts and watching (listening) to the local news. A commerical comes on for a bull riding thing coming to town. Guess who is sponsoring this event. A local orthopedic practice. How is that for irony?? I'm still laughing. Janie

Whitney Houston dies at 48 :(
I guess I wasn't surprised that this happened, but, what a loss. I think she had the most beautiful voice that I had ever heard. She was just so troubled, took too many drugs and drank a lot. RIP Whitney. Jan

We spent yesterday (Saturday) with friends in Friesland. This is where the 11-cities skating race would have been run, had the ice been strong overall. I took my skates, and skated where the race would have come thru the town in which our friends live. Sun was shining, cold but fun...with LOTS of people on the ice... We…

Growth on Thyroid
I had my physical and the Dr. found a growth on my thyroid. I have to have a sonogram done on it next week. I know that there is a 90% chance that it is nothing but I was told that about the lump in my breast too, and they were wrong about that one. I feel like I am being paranoid but I can't help wishing that the sonogram…

Back from oncologist's and I feel better (loooong post)
I guess maybe I feel better because first, I have a wonderful oncologist who answers any and all questions, gives me all the time I need, and treats me like I'm her older sister with a big hug when I leave. Second, I have a couple of treatment options that don't sound too horrible, and third, I feel like I have some…

Pathology Report was GREAT!
I had a R breast biopsy in the hospital on Friday. Late yesterday I got a call from my doc that the path report was all clear! I have atypical tissue caused by scaring from a breast tumor removed in '98. I have to go back though because they are concerned about a complicated cyst in the L breast. Sigh! I'm confident all…
