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.

Chemo Grad

That would be me, I am done with chemo as of 5:15pm this evening! It was an unusually long and busy day at the ROC, testing my new patience I think, but I came equipped and was calm, cool, and collected throughout the 7 hr. process that usually takes 5 hrs. Andy was there with me working away. Ran into a few friends that helped pass the time, watched the olympics, and did Continuing Ed. Credits for my license on Depression and Suicide, very uplifting I know, but it is my world, at work that is.
So Breakfast was this:
and lunch was this:
and dinner is this:
yup, home and cozy with my Baldwin pink hug blanket and a bottle of Veuve Rose that I got on my birthday to drink upon completion of chemo. so drinking I am, that should help the side effects right? Also notice I exposed my bare head for you. I have been so busy hiding it with hats and wigs, alot of you probably haven't even seen my pretty little bald head. Well look now because the hair will start back growing in 5 weeks now that chemo is over.
So on to the next chapter and radiation on Thursday. Will let you know how it goes. 
Until then, here i am kicking cancers butt trying to get out of my comfy heated chair at the ROC for the last time! 
and back to the Olympics!

  1. Trying to make me cry, Sher? Oh, you are so wonderful and I am SO happy that this chapter is over and you are on to the next phase. Taking baby steps is the key, right? Soon, it will all just be a memory that will make you an even COOLER person. (IS that possible?) Please remember I keep you in my thoughts, always. As I am, yours in boobage...xoYvonne
