New day..New goals

Well the numbing pump is empty and the feeling is coming back in my chest and arms. Can you say tingle???? I slept in this morning and feel pretty good now. My mom who has be God sent(cooking, cleaning, laundry, intercepting babies & kids, taking them on walks & to school & tennis, reading with them, doing the lengthy bedtime routine, bathing me, draining my drains, waking in the middle of the night to make sure I take my pills etc..), gave me a hand, foot AND back rub this morning... It is o.k., you can be jealous.... It was nice to just talk, about regular stuff, and laugh this morning.

Goals today:
..Rest more, maybe even take a nap.
..get stronger

Yep I think that is good for today....

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
