I didn’t blink and neither did she

One of my coaches is telling me today was #5 of 12.  I saw that in my drawing as the mandala or circle is filling with images of my progression.  I love how this is evolving for me.  The static nature of image #1 and the movement through to today’s image which does not feel…


I met an angel today

Yea today is Round 2 Cycle 4 Day 1.  These numbers are becoming less of a focus for me.   With the eye on the ball, we are keeping our stride.  Cheerleaders on the sidelines are reminding me we are 1/3 the way through this portion, and that is WONDERFUL to hear!  (thank you for carrying that part…


Round 2, Cycle 3, Day 1

9:00 am: I’m having my infusion right now.  It’s going without a hitch.  Blood draw was immediate, they took enough blood, labs looked good, 25 mg of benadryl is the standing order now instead of 50 mg.  I may set a record for getting out of here in less than 3 hours.  B is home…


Uncle Charlie made me think

Amidst breast cancer treatments life goes on.  THANKFULLY I am feeling good so we’ve been very busy, as a family with two teenagers tends to be.  The GUPDATE on the hot and sour soup is that it was FABULOUS (with no repercussions)!!  Along with our Maine family, I have a relatively large family of origin and we have…


Round 2, Cycle 2, Day 2

Well cycle 2 has started.  I asked for rides this time just because I wasn’t sure about the benadryl affect.  SO an angel drove me all over creation to do errands and then dropped me off at the cancer center.  The port access went smoothly even with a new nurse doing it.  I just had…


Snow, normalcy, updates

The snowfall on Wednesday was beautiful.  We had about 8 inches at our house I think.  We have been really busy.   I just dropped B and E off with 7 others who are going to go winter camping in the foothills of Saddleback Mountain.  Between getting to work and our other commitments, we have been…


Round 2, Day 1 Cycle 1 of 12

When the kids came home today the first thing A asked was how day one went.  She’s so thoughtful. Here’s how it went: I was standing at the check in place at the cancer center this morning bright and early.  A woman in scrubs came from behind and as she was passing me she turned…


12/1/09 Oncology meeting

P: Well, even the woman who can access my port and get a good blood draw every time had her day.  It was today.  With me.  She got a good draw at the very start and then it just quit on her.  What I saw in her that I did not see in the people…


11/30/09

I intended to publish this last night, but lost my server…so I’m putting it up early this morning.  Happy December everyone. Life has felt very simple and normal these past few days.  Our Thanksgiving was really fun with friends, terrific eats and lots of laughter.  At this point I have an appetite, and can taste everything. …


11/27/09

I never thought I’d be on the highway on Black Friday, but there I was.  A was driving, thankfully, and it was POURING.  I had my drain out today.  E and I called B from the road after dropping A off with a friend and we ordered a nice fire and squash soup from the…
