Nothing New

I have nothing interesting to say, and its probably questionable whether I ever have anything interesting to say, but there's nothing new in my little cancer chemo world. Breast cancer awareness month means everywhere I look there is pink stuff. Its amazing the things they make that are pink. Its great that proceeds go towards research, but holy cow. M&Ms, pink cream cheese, chip clips, etc. One of the chemo nurses was telling me that she went out with some friends and there were pink napkins at the bar. Naturally, working where she does, she assumes they are for breast cancer awareness month. They weren't, they were leftover from some wedding. So all night her friends were making fun of her as if everything pink was for that reason. "Look, there's a pink invoice, it must be for breast cancer awareness!"
My cold is almost totally gone. I feel really good. Now that I'm in week three post chemo, I'm realizing that even when I thought I was feeling good, it wasn't as good as normal. I have so much energy when I'm not being poisoned. I know, shocking. :)Its fun to feel up to running with Max in the backyard, and rolling around on the ground with both little dudes. When I started this whole ordeal I remember someone trying to reassure me and saying "a year from now, you'll be done, and totally fine." All I could think was "a year!!?? Are you serious, a whole year!?" Yup, about a year. You get to read about every detail of my life for a whole year. Lucky you!

I just found out about your cancer from Bonnie P. last week and Eileen emailed me your blog address today. I wish I had known earlier. I've been praying for you and your sweet family every morning since. Your blog shows courage, love, humor, strength, candor, and most of all your wonderful personality. I'm so glad staff,family, students and friends are there for you. I'll continue to read and hope to see you next time I'm up for a visit!
