Mommy don't go

So..... it has been so wonderful (not a word that exists that expresses how grateful) having my mom. I don't want her to go!! The kids have loved having her and so have Josh and I.  Josh even came into our room the other night and said, "I have had fun with your mom, I am going to really miss her." She was supposed to leave yesterday, but when she came into my room yesterday morning I said I don't want you to leave, then we proceeded to cry together.  God was watching and canceled her flight so she actually stayed another day.... Thank you God for hearing our prayers! We have done a ton of laughing! Sometimes so hard I thought I was gonna rip a stitch! Extremely healthy for the soul, you know you do have to heal from the inside out.

I had 2 drains removed on Wednesday and I was supposed to get the other two out today. They said I was still pretty swollen and they were worried I would swell and retain fluid all weekend and be very uncomfortable. Then on Monday would need to have a VERY big needle to drain me. YUCK!!! I said to nurse Sandy, " I will keep the drains for the weekend:)." Still have to keep my arms below my shoulders (No roof raising for me this weekend, sorry Broncos! I will be cheering, just not with my arms.) I will post some videos of that!! Should be really funny. And no showers. I did however, go to Great Clips for a hair washing and a dry. It was good but I have to admit she was too gentle. She even asked if she was pulling too hard when brushing and drying.  I proceeded to let her know that I was on pretty good narcotics so she didn't need to worry about hurting me. Won't be going to Great Clips again. I think I will go to the solon. Reflecting back, Shannon Latino really knows how to scrub and get in there. And when she dried my hair, holy cow, that felt good!!  MISS YA SHANNON!

My sister is coming in tonight so that will be good. The weekend is gonna be busy with fun things to do.  We might even go bra shopping! Or pick up some 'softies' as my doctor calls them. The fillers that you put into your bra for the time being.

Oncology meeting

In no way did I mean for the post about how to help people going through this to come back to me! It is now my turn to make others aware of how to help others with breast cancer. I mean with odds of 1 in every 8 women are diagnosed with BC??? One of you will know someone else, or you may be thrown into this club yourself. It was just to help others. With that said, thank you Jana, for the pedicure gift card I am going this weekend!!!! DATE DAY WITH MY BIG GIRL!! So it is official my best chance to raise my survival rate is to do combined therapy. My diagnosis is Premenopausal (I know sounds weird, but with all these crazy estrogen hormones it makes a difference in the treatment.) Stage II A (meaning it is really the size (2.2cm) and the grade(high) of the tumor since it's not in my lymph nodes, and there is no evidence of it metastasising) ER +, PR +, HER 2 (NEG~ my hyphen button isn't working!!) Invasive ductal breast cancer. And then there is my age that seems to be consis

Waiting....

The Dr. showed up in my room around 2. I was bored in the hospital and kept pacing in my room. She said it went well and the skin laid nicely and they only needed to take the one lymph node, and its little clusters. I finally went home around 3:30 or 4, after my flu shot and pneumonia . It was not a terrible ride. A couple jokes helped the journey, you know 'It sure is cold out here, but no smuggling peas for me." Josh's funny one "Saying goodbye to the rack, they saved us $ on Similac." Funny stuff. I called Tera to come by and do my hair. Tera was kind enough to be here to give me my braids. I needed to get my hair out of my face. Thanks for the up do!! Well here's the scoop. I slept terrible in the hospital and awesome at home last night.  Today is a day though. I am bitchy and want to be left alone. It's hard when everyone just wants to help, I am finding myself saying sorry a ton.  Sorry...... It is the burning sensation that is awful!!! It is a we

Out of surgery !!

Disclaimer: I am under the influence of some good pain meds, So excuse the spelling. and I keep dozing off. So if I post something incomplete I will fix it when I wake up😴 Well I'm out of surgery and it went well! My typical response to  is general anesthesia is itching but I don't care. Could be worse I could be puking!!  (Thanks Amy for the good perspective/game!!!)It was a long morning! got checked in at 9:30 waited around for the Dr who had 3 surgeries before me!!! i just take that as a little extra practice before me. (wink wink). Then they injected an fluid into my skin for finding the sentinel lymph node that would show if anything was spreading to the lymph nodes. Then I napped while it did its magic. The lady that did it was a nuclear something or other.... Weird!!! To have the word nuclear on your badge... So I asked how one becomes a nuclear something or other( of course I used the right title). They don't have many of them. An interesting degree. So good ne
