As you may or may not know, the date of 2/10/11 will forever stick in my head.....this is the day my ob/gyn called to tell me me I have breast cancer!!! Yup, found a lump, went for my very first mammo, ultrasound and biopsy and with in that wonderful week, I have breast cancer!!! So....off I go into a world I have only heard about from friends and online articles. Now, this is my reality!!! And HOLY SH*T - what a reality!!!
What sux is, you hear cancer and you think...how long??? This isn't a how long do I have to live kinda cancer, MY cancer is a, "how long is it gonna take to get rid of", cancer!!!!! Which, is great!! Do I want this , um NO but I got it so here we go........
Chemo started on 3/3/11 - not bad, a month later and I'm already being treated - chemo sux!!! I feel like I have a hangover and morning sickness without ALL the fun to get me here!!!! Foggy head - nausea - the works...I can't walk to the car without thinking - THANK GOD - I get to sit!!!!
Oh, and this is the reason for the hair too. You all thought I was just loosing my mind...well, besides the fact that YES - I am, I have cancer and chemo and my hair will more than likely be gone :)
Looking forward to doo -rags and hats though!!! Ima like me a nice hat!!!!
My kids.....are getting used to helping and being self sufficient - for now - My husband, My God, what would I do without my husband Greg!!!!! I have to say - I have NEVER had anyone in my life that is so wonderful and loving (aside from my family) than my husband......I think most men would be helpful - sure, but Greg - He is my hero....From the day we met - there was something that always stood out about him - not just his good looks and great personality - but "something"!!! I still can't pinpoint it but he is the best - I think he's my angel, I can't see his wings but I think thats what he is, aside from my hero, my love, my life!!! I cannot thank him enough, and believe me - I try!!! I will be posting every so often and letting you know how wonderfully I am going through this.....I hope to be upbeat most of the time but I can promise you - it isn't easy.....
I do have to say though, I have the GREATEST support system in my friends, family and co-workers that ANYONE could ask for.......Thank you all for your support, well wishes and PLEASE keep those prayers coming!!!!!
