Well, even though there was a storm of enormous size, I was able to make it to my treatment this last week - which marks the half-way point for chemo...I have been up and down emotionally, and have been grateful for all of these days home with my family due to the snow...
We were able to go sledding on the BIG hill by our house, have FUN adventures in the snow for Maddie's 7th Birthday, and even had to re-schedule her birthday party for next weekend because of power outages...what a trooper! I have the BEST family ever, and am grateful for their love and support...
I did get new boobs - I downsized:) They are strange, but much better:) I feel so fake when I wear them, yet at the same time, they make me feel better in my clothes...oh, and about Erika, she's pretty much out - no offense to her, but unless someone shows me a way to make wearing that easy - it's easier for me to wear my peach-fuzz hair around with hats:)
Another bit of news - I tested negative for the BRCA gene, which leaves the fact that I got cancer so young a mystery...but good information and encouraging at the same time - as time passes, and more information is available - we may be able to find more out...for now, I am getting better every day!
So, 3 more rounds of chemo (which might mean lots more than 3 pokes because of my bad veins...) and then on to the next step...
So, today I remember that there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for NO MATTER WHAT!!!
Thanks for your continued thoughts, prayers, letters, meals, friendship, and LOVE!!!
