About Me

2010: After my cancer diagnosis, my sister Cory suggested I start a blog to keep family and friends up-to-date on my treatment. What a great idea! Check back as often as you like. I'll try to post as much as I can, at the least after major doctor's appointments. 2014: On to more exciting topics! First up, Helsinki 2014.

Hero's of the Midway

So I'm at the mid point of chemo now....and DONE with AC which also includes no more driving back to Bellevue Monday mornings for Nuelasta shots! Yay! Hopefully things just get better and better from here on out.

And now for my super hero's of the week!

Barb. Since this is Harry Potter week...thank you again for the wand and making sure I have all the extra magic in my life as possible. So looking forward to catching up next week.

Kevin & Mariah for once again keeping me occupied during chemo. And thank you Kev, for playing chauffeur. It was a long day, and I really appreciate it.

Bruce & Steph. Thank you for hanging out and putting your weekend aside to keep an eye on me and spoil me :)

Almost to the halfway point

This Friday will mark the mid way point for chemo! I'm counting on this next one to go as smoothly and easily as the last one. With the exception of one day I felt remarkably good. I'm not sure if I'm just getting used to things or if it's having acupuncture immediately following treatment, whatever the reason it was a welcome relief!

So bring on the last round of Cytoxin and Adriamyacin...I'll be happy to see you two in my rear-view mirror. The last four rounds are of Taxol, which I've heard that most people tolerate much better than the others. Fingers crossed!

My friends and family rock!

I need to start a public thank you for my All-Stars of the week.

I'm continually humbled by the thoughtfulness and generosity of the people I know. Don't get me wrong, I always knew I associated with the best people on the planet....but still, you are all pretty amazing.

Since I'm a month late in starting this, I have some making up to do!

My hero's this week (and month) are:

Cory, Erika, Mariah, Kevin, Cari, John & Laura, Bruce & Steph, Aunt Patty & Uncle Mark, Kirstin, Mom, Dad, Sue, Cameron, Kirsti, Corrie, Rod, Linnaea, Heidi and Heidi.

Thank you all for the support, food, help with house work....EVERYTHING!!

And more to come next week. I need to start thinking of a way to make it up to everyone when this is all over :)
