As of April 2, 2012, this blog became the place for documenting our New Adventure called Breast Cancer. Basically it's all about our Cancer ParTay.
As of Oct 2013- our 18 month Survivor mark- the ParTay's pretty much over. Treatments are done, my hair is back and I am healthy & cancer-free!
As of today- I want you to know that the trick to living a happy, healthy and wonderful life in the future is to remember where we've been, what we've learned and how much we've been blessed! That's exactly what I hope you find here.

SUCKy Thing #2 is out!

FINALLY!!!!
We had our appointment with Dr. Bouton this morning. It was NOT soon enough! There were several times these last five days that I wanted to scratch my side off. It was seriously digging into my rib or something. And there was no comfortable position to sit or lay in. Ouchy WhaWha! Not to mention the grenade always hanging from my body. Disgusting! It was smelly and icky. Ever time I drained it, I got a little whoozy! I could NOT wait for today to be here.
When Dr. Bouton asked how I was, I told him "3 freakin' days overdue!" [Insert my mean face here] I totally meant it too. Even if the boys in the room thought it was funny. Not happy, I tell you! He got right to work, snipped the stitch and yanked it out. OWWWW! It was worse than I remember.  But perhaps that was because I opted to stay off the mega drugs this time. Dang! Not that I like the world spinning in circles and napping my life away. Just saying -Today I missed them. LOL Hopefully, I never have to do anything like that again.
I then remembered how my side continued to be sore for a couple days afterwards with the big honkin' bandage over the hole! I informed the doctor that I may think about forgiving him in about 3 days! LOL
But... It is out! No more sucky things for me! LOL I ended up taking the big bandage off by the end of the day AND I feel like a new woman!
YEAH! YEAH! HipHip HURRAY! 
He said everything is looking really good. He even pulled off a couple of my sterry strips for me. [So weird by the way!] He then made sure I will be seeing Dr. Panwalker soon. He also wrote me a prescription for some fake boobs, and said he'd see me in 6 months! [or sooner if we leave] Can't believe my time with Dr. Bouton is over. Crazy! Where does time fly? I have really appreciated his talent, his Texan accent, and his beside manner but if we never see him again- that'd be ok with me! ;)
