First, let me express some thoughts I have. I am concerned my posts are too whiney and full of complaints. And I suppose that is mostly...

No picture this time. I find myself with weird deja vu....... Every Saturday night, Sunday, and Monday are pretty tough. Same things,...

I received chemo today. Both the Taxol and the Carboplatin. Pre-meds and extra fluids. But very wiped out the rest of the day. But...

It's been quite a week. I've been hospitalized and I've been discharged. Later today (it's 12:45 am as I write) I will learn what's next...

Well, Week 8 is a bust. My counts are horribly low. So no chemo at all. I will do extra Granix (white blood cell count boosting)...

Yesterday was the beginning of my second chemo "trimester". Round 7 already. Unfortunately my counts were even worse this week than last....

I am celebrating, in that mellow, low key, chemo patient kind of way, that Round 6 is behind me. I am officially a third of the way...

It's been a rough weekend, to say the least. Thursday was Chemo #1. Friday was both my flu shot and an injection to boost the production...

It's been an interesting week..... I have spent a lot of my time figuring out how to get close to death but not die yet be ready...

Much to everyone's surprise, my breast healing has turned towards progress and hope. My surgeon appointment on Thursday was significant...

I survived the first few days of Brennan being away at college. I miss him like crazy! He, on the other hand, seems busy meeting new...
