Feelin' Good

Hi Friends,


I am still feeling really good... I have been like the energizer bunny and I keep going, going and going.  It has been 8 days now that I have energy, feel like my old self (just with different looks); this has given me the luxury of visiting with friends and full days.


Friday: Lenette and Lisa came to visit me at work and we had lunch. I baked in the evening, my Mom came over and got lots of stuff done around the house.
Saturday: Shopping during the day with Katye in Thousand Oaks, lunch with Lisa in Studio City (more on that in a minute), nails with Lisa and Lenette in the afternoon then dinner with the family.
Sunday: Cardio Barre class in the morning, grocery shopping, more shopping with Katye, visit with the family and then home for the evening.
Monday: Met with my parents for breakfast, Lunch with Lauren, a walk with the dogs and Liz.


*I know the events from the weekend don't seem like much... but that is the most active I have been for the last 8 or so weeks. It felt so good to carry on with a "normal" life.


This week is another big week for me; start my treatment prep on Wednesday, treatment on Thursday, work on Friday then I will be down and out for the weekend and most of next week.  I was scared and not looking forward to my next treatment, but I am ready for this one. I am 7 weeks away from never feeling sick from chemo again and that is motivation enough to feel really good going into my 4th treatment.  *and I am crying right now but they are such tears of joy*.    

I rarely feel my tumor, I really forget that it is there until someone asks about its size or when my doctor examines it.  The only thing that makes me feel like I am a cancer patient is the side effects of the chemo.  This morning my Dad asked about its size, I felt it and was so happy to tell him that there is now no difference between the right breast and the left.  It is virtually gone!  The body is so amazing and it is such a blessing that my the chemo is working miraculously.




Lisa and I went to a vegan and raw restaurant, called Sun Cafe.  I had Pad Thai with kelp noodles (raw dish) and Lisa had a BLT (vegan) with Tempeh.  We had fun and tried something different which was really enjoyable.
