Life is scary sometimes
The beginnings of my own personal journey. Friendship blocks from some of the Quiltin' Babes. More to come and I think I will make a few myself.
Life!
My day today
Purchased myself a hat today.
Both of my son's friends are the best!
Look how nicely they look together.
Stop, look and listen
A dozen roses from my sister

Super Socks with Capes! Thanks to my mom and family.
Before my haircut
Imagine!
Saying goodbye to my hair tonight
It's grown even more.
Ever so slowly making a table runner for a cancer fundraiser craft sale for a walk-a-thon I joined when Karen was diagnosed. Little did I know a few weeks later I would become 1 in 8.
She said she wanted it to smell good and taste good. It did!

See the one reverse?
Choir concert tonight was fabulous.
Happy Memorial Day
This was me 2 weeks ago
My oncologist said on Tuesday "you are done." I will not be having the last two chemo treatments. He said the chemo has done what it needed to do. I had a quick response to the chemo treatments. By my 4th treatment the lumps were gone.
The last two weeks have been painful with burning and nerve pain in hands and cramping and nerve pain in my feet so my oncologist said I'm done with treatments.
Today I saw the surgeon and she said the lumps are gone and canceled my ultrasound scheduled for today. I have a lumpectomy on Thursday October 6th
Admitted to the hospital yesterday.
Fun out on the boat!
Good News! My margins are clear!!! No more surgeries. No mastectomy needed. I can start radiation in 4-6 weeks. One more day of antibiotics! I needed this so much!!!!
My hair was ready for it's first trim yesterday
No more hair over the ears for a while and the turkey tufts at the back were razored away.
Good morning! Cancer update: today will be radiation treatment #16 of 33. I think overall the treatments are going well. I do not understand all the computers and machines it is way over my head.
