No More Chemo

I had the best day yesterday! First of all, it was the first day of being officially off of chemo. Heidi and I enjoyed some light rafting (in a pool), Heidi got rockstar put on her toes, while I got a wig trim! Sooooo fun! I didn't think I would be sitting in a salon chair for a long long time!!!! Lunch was my fav chicken sandwich right now, yummy, then home for a nap. I was exhausted!!! After the nap I decorated cup cakes, fun! Got ready and before I knew it, the party was in full swing! So Everytime to door opens I look over to see who is coming in, I see a group of people walk in and in the back of the group was my step-sister! I about fell over! I said hi to the group as fast as possible so i could get to Kari. We haven't seen each other in about 18 years! Yes years!!! Our parents were married for almost 10 years, from the time I was 6 - 16, so I really grew up with her! I cried and just couldn't even believe she was standing in my house!!!! I loved it! my little sister set it all up and surprised me so much! I usually figure out surprises, but this one really really surprised!!! I loved it, we had the best time, Kari and her husband Ron were so much fun! We are going to stay in touch now and hopefully get together soon!
In other party news, I was really happy with how many people came by to hang out and say hi! I had the best time! Friends I haven't seen since high school came, co workers came, old roommates, college friends, parents of friends, my parents, so many people! People came and went until midnight! I absolutely loved the entire night!!!! It was the best party I have been to in so long!!!! I am still smiling thinking about all the fun! Thank you everyone was able to come! And those of you that weren't able to come and want to still get together we will soon! Love you all!!!

countdown to the end of chemo

I have just a few more days of chemo left in me and plan to celebrate the second I am off of it! So come to my house on Tuesday May 26th at 7:00 pm and enjoy some chemolicious cake and cocktails! E-mail me and let me know you are stopping by so I make sure there is enough cake!

last few days of chemo

In just a little over a week I will be done with all of this! I can't wait! I have nothing else nice to say right now, so I will leave this post short. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel but can't loose focus on breathing, not puking, and staying comfortable long enough to appreciate it right now. But in a few days I will and I am really looking forward to it! I know people are excited for me and keep counting down the days, I really appreciate it, but I have to keep my thoughts where they are right now. We can all celebrate at the No More Chemo Party, May 26th, 7:00 pm, let me know if you are coming, everyone is invited!

Last of the worst

This is usually the peak of the pain and misery for chemo and I am happy that it will be the last one! Tomorrow is usually pretty bad too and then it gradually gets better everyday. But this one has been different, usually I can't stand the taste of water for a few days, this time I was craving water. I am more emotional this time too, maybe that is because I am so close to being done, I'm not sure. I think I am just rambling but I thought I had some cool things to say, he he he, chemo brain! SO, I think I will wrap this up and write more later if I remember! But until then, her is a picture of me and the bowling team! We had sooooo much fun!

Big Day!!

Today Heidi and I went to the park and checked out the big trees. It has been so long since I had gone it was fun to spend the day hiking around and enjoying the fresh air. And tonight was the first night for the breast cancer bowling league. It was so much fun! My voice is gone from laughing and yelling! We have a pretty good team! I love the handicap too! When we stared the lady that works there came over and suggested we come tomorrow for some lessons!!! SO funny!!! I guess we aren't that good, but we weren't terrible! I mean I don't think we were, I have no idea what people usually get when they bowl! We all had handicaps, and we needed them, but we got some strikes too! Keri almost got a turkey! My turkey gobble noises were really helpful I am sure! :D
Ok, so I am going to bed now, going to get some good sleep before the LAST CHEMO EVER!!!!

Last Chemo in 3 Days!!!

I am going out of my mind with excitement!!!! Only 17 more days of being on Chemo, I am technically still on it for 14 days after my injection. Wow! No more poison for me! Unless you count the radiation I will be voluntarily subjecting myself to everyday for about 7 weeks, but that's not that bad, I mean they only make weapons of mass destruction out of this stuff right? :D Dr. said my ribs will be brittle, yada yada yada..... Ok back to no more chemo! The Official No More Chemo Party will be...... Tuesday, May 26th at 7:00 PM! Anyone that hates chemo is welcome to attend! All you chemo lovers can stay home! So come by for some cake and cocktails, my favorite things in life! Call, text, e-mail, facebook, myspace, but please don't comment here (it gives me no info on you), anyway, do whatever you do and get in touch with me to let me know you want to come.

Calling All Babysitters!

I'm coming up on my last chemo and am booking my babysitters for Wednesday May 13 through Sunday May 17. If you are interested e-mail and let me the days that work best for you. There's no pay, but so far people have seemed to enjoy watching me drool and laughing with me.

the BEST babysitters in the world!!!

I have had the best week ever! The best babysitters have been here all week taking care of me and visiting with me. I am so grateful for all of them. Most of them even brought ice cream, love that!!! I did have a much better week with pain and I think it was a combination of supplements, yoga, and the visitors. My joint pain is still there, and breaks through a lot, but I have taken less morphine this time than last time. The meds have started hurting my stomach so, I am really glad that I am able to take less!
Thanks again to all of my babysitters! You guys have really made this session of chemo so much more bearable!!!! I am soooooo grateful!!!!
