As happens to me often, I really don’t even know where to start. Physically, I’m doing well. I have some neuropathy in my feet, but it doesn’t HURT, just makes my toes and the balls of my feet feel a little numb.  My eyelids itch like crazy, since my eyelashes are desperately trying to come […]

This week has actually been pretty crappy. My twelve year old car died. Confirmed that my kid has more problems than just ADD that are making things hard for him at school.  Confirmed that the cancer I mentioned last week is indeed back. Not mine, so no new crap for me, but still breaks my […]

I thought I was going to write this blog last night. My work trip went pretty well, although I think I’ve started to have some minor hot flashes.  I still get cold at random times too, but there were a couple of times in New York where other people were talking about the weather being […]

Still don’t really have time to update, but sometimes you have to MAKE the time, right? I’ve got a trip to NYC for work next week which is what is taking so much of my time right now, but here’s a what is new in Ninja-land: Tamoxifen: Been on it for 10 days now and […]

Looking back, it’s hard to believe that this whole cancer experience so far has happened in less than six months. I know I’ve been quiet the last few weeks, and I’ve blamed it on work, which is in part fair, but the last week or so I haven’t even been able to really buckle down […]

So if I still had chemo, today would be my most miserable day. But as it is, it’s my very last fill of the tissue expanders! I forget if I even updated after the last fill but I’m already a little bit bigger than my gummy bears will be, but as I have said several […]

I told a couple of people today, sometimes I feel like I’m milking this cancer thing. I try to remind myself that the chemo itself is supposed to last for three weeks while all of the little chemo bits swirl around my body and do their job, ninja-ing all of the stray cancer cells that […]

Sometimes it takes a little bit before I remember how incredibly lucky I am. Today’s case in point actually came to my attention immediately after I posted my last blog, and I almost posted just links again so you could all giggle along with me, but having given it a day, I’m more Zen, and […]

So if you know me in real life, you are likely not shocked that even though I never finished watching the final season, I am a HUGE fan of the West Wing. Great writing, mostly great acting, and other general awesomeness. Although as I have learned this year, I’m willing to bet it’s as much […]

And I’ve missed a couple of days. I even had a few long blinks at Skyfall on Friday night, but when my eyes tweak out, it seems best to let them close. Other than the blinking, I’ve had the bone pain, but in general I’m just waiting it out & being grateful that I can […]
