Partay!

I went to an after Christmas party this afternoon!  It was such a nice time. Bob and I didn't know that many people at first, but had a wonderful time!  Drank, ate and danced!!!!  Funny, how being diagnosed with cancer enables you to meet and connect with so many  people you'd never think of connecting with.

I want to thank Teri Everett and her husband for a great time.  I look forward to the next one!!!!!

Thanks also to Sue Craffey and Susan McDevitt for making it such a special afternoon for us!!!!! And for the others that we've met!!!!!   It sucks that cancer is what brought us together.  He has a plan, and I'm sure it involves all the people I've come in contact with.  I do believe, we'll fight this awful disease with such a powerful force and grace!

It's late and that's all I have right now.   2 weeks of radiation done and 5 more to go.  Until next tiem.

Good night!!!!

xoxoxoxo Everyone!!!!

Physically feeling good.....

I've done 2 weeks of radiation already!  So far so good.   The people there are wonderful.  It's nice seeing the same people everyday and getting to know them, it makes the time go by so fast.  The 7 weeks will be done before you know it!!!  No side effects yet, but I'm sure they won't compare the the side effect of chemo!!!

And the radiation begins......

My sister asked me today, how come no posts lately. I told her I wasn't feeling it.  She suggested to have a few glasses of wine and maybe it'll come to me.  So I did!!!  Let's see what this post brings.

Since my last post, I just finished my 3rd chemo.  My last chemo came and went with no problems.  I just needed to wait 3 weeks before I started the radiation.  I had my "prep" radiation appointments, one last week and one this week.  I got my markings "tattoos"...I start my 7 week radiation treatment this Monday the 16th every day for 7 weeks. 

During my 3 week break, I was able to go to Florida for a long weekend and visit my sister and her family.  It was a nice break and the weather was heavenly!!!  A much needed break away from the 4 walls in my house. 

I get so lonely and bored home all day.  I've been out of work since July 1st, and being out of your daily routine and interacting with people for that long gets old.  At least with radiation, it's everyday and I get to see people everyday, even if it's for about 30 minutes. Ask me how I'm doing after the 4th week and my story may change!!!!

There are so many more things to say about how I'm doing mentally and emotionally but I can't seem to put it into words yet.  I first thought I didn't want to post things that were depressing and sad, but this blog is about the emotions that I'm going through. And unfortunately there are good days and then there are bad ones.  So, I'll try not to be so hard on myself and let me be me while I'm on this journey.

Until next time..~...
