I can't offer drugs, just hugs!

I think of you daily. You are on my 'irritating God with my annoying worry' list.
I was thinking today, as I was pulling weeds and hauling hibiscus, that 'if',... 'when'..., 'I hope not'..., 'but it could happen'- I get the same genetic breast cancer that my mom got... the stuff you have... I hope I can keep it together like you can. You are why I am here. In the back of my mind I guess I want to know how to handle it when/if it is my turn. You and Luna and Muscadine...all of you, you are wonderful.
I am sapping off of your bravery for 'if' I ever need it myself.

Hugs are always good and always appreciated! Thanks 3goodeggs! You and the others that pop on here to offer hugs and support - it's what keeps us all going. And I hope it (the dreaded C) never happens to you or anyone else for that matter.

Oh Coyote I was thinking of you today wondering if you got that port thing put in. That was my experience with the surgery too, sore as all heck. I hope it goes smoothly for you

You got the first step out of the way.

Don't you love the "don't get it wet" did they mummify you with bandages? I had a reaction with the tape.....got all red and itchy and I just pulled the darn thing off! Rebandaged it myself and NOT halfway up my neck like they did!

I put a plastic sheet over the wound and taped it so I could get a shower. If it got a little wet I dabbed it with a cotton towel and blow dried it on cool.

Take it easy over the weekend, you hear?

Ditto! I'm rather indignate about it. This hateful thing has taken one of my brothers, my grandmother, my aunt, and 2 very good friends. How dare it think it could come and get me too!!! And for it to come back and show it's evil head again!! I'm ready to kick it's azz for sure!!

You know that saying that goes, "Think the best, Prepare for the worst"? Know what options are out there if something does happen. Have all your personal stuff, i.e., wills, children's guardians, etc.... in order. We had this guy down at Myrtle Beach out walking his dog one night when a single engine plane crashed and killed him. No one on the plane, the dog or anyone else on the ground was hurt. I am a firm believer that when it's your time to go, it's time to go, even if "god" drops a plane on you!

If you invite the fear into your life by dwelling on the "what if's", it is my belief that fear will indeed manifest into the thing you fear most. I had to keep reminding my dear Lurchie that this was just a bump in the road. He was so afraid that he would loose me that I finally had to tell him that he could either walk this road with me KNOWING we were going to make it out the otherside or to go someplace where I wouldn't have to deal with his negativity. From that point forward he never spoke another negative word about it when he was with me.

I use a lot of music to keep me going. Some songs just hit the right cord on certain days. Like Rodney Atkin's "If You're Going Through Hell". Sometimes I just sing it in my head.

If you're going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

Plus like Luna said; we've got a fantastic support group with ya'll. When we stumble, you help us get up again. I don't know if you are aware of how much that means.

The Abraxane is going to cause it to fall out. It's similar to the drug Taxotere, but doesn't seem to damage nerve endings and cause neuropathy like the Taxotere.

When I took the Taxotere and Carboplatin last time, I was given something to help me from getting sick. I wonder how bad it would have been if I didn't take it!! Had treatments on Thursday and come Sunday morning like clock work, I was tossing my cookies before breakfast was over. That would last until the next Thursday. Followed by a week of feeling bleah. Just get to start feeling better and it was time for another treatment.

So if ya'll don't see me around for a couple of days, I just may be "praying to the porceline gods"!
