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.

Herceptin #14: Going Alone

Wow! Where does time go? I can't believe it's time for another treatment. Yesterday I had a little anxiety about it. I never have any reactions and I'm always done within 3 hours BUT cancer treatments are Cancer Treatments, by golly! Going alone really is the easiest for my Herceptin treatments. (and I have gone to most of them myself) It doesn't waste anyone else's time and I really get a lot of blogging done on my borrowed iPad. Not to mention the quiet time. Love it! However for some reason this time- I felt sad that I am doing "this cancer thing" alone. I even got a bit teary- eyed about it. Dumb, I know. Funny, the roller coaster of emotions cancer life can take you on.
Once I got to the Roger Maris Cancer Center Infusion Center (wow! That's a mouth full), I was fine. I got settled in my heated, comfy, reclining chair. They brought me some ice water and a bag of treats and I leaned back in the quietness to type up a storm. Reminder that I am very blessed and coming alone really isn't a bad thing!
Josette was my nurse for today. We've never met before but we had a lot in common. We chatted about kids, photography, blogs and digital scrap booking. Wahoo! Gotta love a crafty comrade! Other than that... Nothing big to report. I was in and out pretty fast with no complications as usual. Go me! Just get to go home and smell like Mouse Ovaries for the next couple days. LOL
One more down.... Only 2 (possible 3) more to go!! Yeah!
