I marvel at whether what my family experiences in my behavior is actually chemo affect or just me. I don’t know if there is a way to tell. It’s so easy to blame the chemo for the crap. (as IF I didn’t have crap before all of this) As far as the general body stuff, you all…

Feeling better means getting back to work means having less time to do the things I’ve come to realize are SO important to me. And so it is with blogging. I’ve felt real good this week, and have been back to work AT work most of the days. When I picked my kids up the…
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…
Open to a New Day
Finally I’ve finished the drawing from cycle 4. I feel open. Since we moved to our home 12 years ago, we’ve been saying good bye to the old year and welcoming the coming year with friends in a way that has become so dear to me.  We hike up a mountain near our home together, send…
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…
Home on a rainy December Sunday
We left at 5 something in the AM on Wednesday for our holiday fiestas. We have the usual stops for bladder relief and coffee/tea. At our second stop about 3 hours from home, we pulled into the parking space that a very salty car vacated in the crowded parking lot. One of the kids said “Hey, look who’s next…

I’ve felt really good all day. Went to acupuncture and showed off my improving range of motion in my left arm. I truly think the herbs and acupuncture are helping tremendously with my tolerance for Taxol. I worked most of the day. We are packing for the holiday with family and will take off early dark…
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…
