Have you ever noticed that as soon as you make an appointment to get your hair cut, your hair looks awesome until the day of the appointment? Maybe that’s just me? Well, this week, as I’ve worked towards chemo that I asked the nurse, “what are we talking about on losing the hair, like a […]
I am also neither a teenager, nor a turtle, but I was guessing you already knew that. So the GOOD news is that in the standard tests that they give, I don’t have the BRCA 1 or 2 genetic mutations that could have caused my cancer. Are these the ONLY genes linked to breast cancer? […]
I’ve got so much running through my head right now, it’s hard to know where to start. 20 years ago tonight I was in my first weekend at Boston University, and long-story-short, I met a guy. Who is currently asleep next to me on our couch. For the last three days I’ve had a chance to […]
I had another song picked out, although now that I think of it, No Drains would have worked better for last Friday, but when I didn’t get a fill, that was the song that somehow popped into my head. However, this little flub of an oldie but goodie (where I mess up the line because […]
Yep, got them out! Today is awesome, not only because I got both of the drains removed, but because my awesome new boots-for-a-ninja-to-wear-for-chemo came in the mail. Took me several days to pick them, and I may have to send back an entire order at Old Navy when the sidekick sees how much they cost, […]
No real updates, I called to ask the nurse if a week of 35 cc is close enough to remove effing drains. No such luck. Last night I had one of my first dreams that I can remember vividly in a long time. I was bald and kept trying to tie scarves on my head […]
So to answer the quick & easy thing, drains didn’t come out today, but Righty was down to 20 cc last night, so if she stays low tonight, I’m calling in the AM. Lefty was 35… we’ll see. Today I met with my Medical Oncologist, and he confirmed that I really, really don’t have to […]
Not using the previously mentioned title out of respect for getting songs stuck in your heads… and since I was not in the mood for the song I’d previously identified when I posted last. So as expected, the drains didn’t come out at my appointment on Friday. And even though I sat around all weekend, […]
At this point I’m assuming anyone bothering to keep up with my trip knows me at least a little, so you may be familiar with the fact that I have a constant internal soundtrack going… and I regularly give moments a theme song. So if my titles get a song stuck in your heads… sorry. […]
It’s ironic to me, I’ve had “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing” in my Amazon cart for a couple of weeks (I tend to pile things up until I come up with something I can’t wait for, then I place my order) thinking that it would make fun reading for my Fourth-grader… And today I […]
