Here we go again....

In 2008, I was diagnosed with DCIS, the precursor to "REAL" breast cancer. Being young, I decided to take a very aggressive approach to this and opted for a bi-lateral mastectomy with reconstruction. No radiation, no chemo., no hormones & only a 1 % chance of reoccurance, seemed like a good percentage at the time, but not so much these days.

and the results are in for another week......



I didn't have any tears yesterday, some over the weekend just cause I was so tired and irritable, but yesterday it was all about the blood and there was alot of sweat with that temperature. I am telling you, removing the wig and having a bald head never felt so good as it did yesterday once i was in my air conditioned house!
So yesterday was blood draw day and the results were:
_________________ drum rolling in my head and should be in yours too_______________________

So, my number were not great, but I kinda knew that as I was way tired and had alot of nausea over the weekend, but they weren't bad enough for any interventions of infusions or the such. Just a  rest order from the Good Doctor Lemke and justification for Andy to be on my butt about resting, he is relentless.
A I went to a fundraiser meeting I am involved in and got texts from him and both kids when my curfew was nearing, my phone was making so much noise they told me to leave so they could get back to work.
How about pirate Sherie and Captain Blood? Sometimes when I go out without I wig, I just wear a bis scarf and arg... I am a piratess!



speaking of which, I am back on the fundraiser meeting, try and keep up with my roaming brain, I told you to go to :
http://www.rideforalive.org/site/TR/Events/General?px=1002081&pg=personal&fr_id=1030
and donate money to my virtual ride or my families team ride right? If not you should go visit this site. Maybe you may even want to participate in the ride, it is not a race, just a ride of celebration to raise money for cancer survivors to live more healthy after their cancer. A great, under served population and maybe a way to prevent re-occurances like mine. Please check out the site and do what you can or just come be part of the day, I will be there at 6am doing registration and I will have a spectacular wig on. There may be a few celebrities around too, other that me and all the other cancer survivors! July 14th, mark your calendars. I am not riding this year, but I did buy a bike and I am going to ride next year, watch for me around town, tooling around in my comfort bike in my fabulous wigs! Wanna see the two I have worn this week? I am getting some good feedback on them. I borrowed them both from the Queen of the Renaissance Faire, I am but a light shadow in her glow even in these wigs!

Feeling pretty good this week so far despite the low counts, but nothing helps the counts more than a little hour and a half rock musical. Yup, went and saw Alter Boyz in Auburn and .......................................
LOVED IT. get your tickets now, it is so good and will lift your spirits and blood counts if so needed, I felt mine rising as I sat and listened and rocked out!  


I am a bit of a PR person today, but my point is it is good to get involved in things to help other people like fundraisers and it is good to get some arts in ya and heal through different means, music has always been important one for my healing. Get out side your self once and awhile, but  continue to ...........
