Rocking this!

I am SOOO rocking this chemo thing now. I feel totally normal, I have all my strength back, I feel amazing. I even look normal. :) And my hair is growing really fast so I assume its here to stay.
Started working out again, and it feels so good. Im thinking a super cute bikini might be a nice purchase soon, come on summer!
February should be awesome, more scans on 2/11 to see if the tumors are shrinking, bone marrow to see if its out of my bones yet (fingers crossed) then chemo on Valentines day. <3

Recovery weekend

Did ok this weekend, nothing like last month. Everything is annoying me though, so nothing new. Ha! Back in hospital this am getting fluids. That's about it. Well if this is all there is I think I will be just fine. However stuff smells funny and that's making me nuts. I just want to get back to work.

Treatment 2 day 1/2 done!

Hi everyone!!!
First I want to thank everyone for all their posts, phone calls, emails and texts. I can't express how awesome I feel when I read these posts you all leave. I have the greatest family, friends and co workers. All my guys at work have been sending me such sweet messages. I'm on so many prayer lists. You are rock! And if it was not for you I would not be as happy as I am as I get thru this. So thank you!!

Good but long day. Had another allergic reaction which slowed things down some and blood work took forever this am so we are here late. But chemo went really well and I'm just finishing the second chemo now! My chemo bear, Bear, was a great addition for cuddling (thanks Alexis!) and my dad and Michael sat here all day to keep me company. And once again the nurses and doctor here are so much fun! I'm a lucky girl.
Chemo tomorrow. Starts at 2 pm. Should be an easy one. Xoxoxo

It's starting...

So last night I realized that I'm not bothered by my port anymore. I don't mind laying on it now, it's sort of a part of me now. Hmm.

Holidays were good, Alexis' boyfriend Guillem came in from Spain to surprise her for Christmas, that was fun and we all enjoyed his visit.  I was able to see most of the family, so it was a Christmas. I have been sick since New Year's Eve, and today I am in the hospital for blood work. It's really nice here, everyone is so kind.

So it started. Every morning since chemo started I do my daily "hair check", I just run my fingers thru my hair with a little pull, every morning I see nothing in my hands and then I do the sign of relief.
This morning there were about 20 hairs... So it's starting. Chemo one week from today.
Happy new year xoxox
