Exactly 5 months ago today I had a biopsy done on the lump in my breast. I found it during a self-exam and figured I better get it checked out to be safe. The little research I did showed 80% of all biopsies are negative for cancer and the biopsy test its...

By far, this is the worst part of chemo. It’s hard to explain to everyone, but when you feel good you literally have to rush to do anything and everything while you can. Time is ticking. You want to eat a nice dinner out….see a movie…. g...

So, I knew ahead of time these last few chemos on this new drug would be hard…I just didn’t know how bad. I can tell my white count is low like normal, but I just feel different…and that must be the low red count ontop of that. The who...

So,I feel like crap. I went to the doctor yesterday and both my white and red blood cells are low…. and I can tell. I am weak, I am sore….and I’m super emotional. I think everyone gets to a point when they’ve had enough…and ...

So, tomorrow is chemo #6 of hopefully 8. Trust me it does not get any easier each time. Each morning before, I wake up sick to my stomach and would rather be anywhere else in the whole world besides chemo. It is no.fun.period. Pretty soon I will start t...
