Why “It Can’t Be as Bad as Last Time” Does Not Make a Good Mantra
I knew this wasn’t a good mantra going into my second round of chemo. Totally, totally knew that this was the wrong thing to think. But I couldn’t help it. “It can’t be as bad as last time,” just rolled around and around in my head like the puffing of the Little Engine That Could. …

Live Blogging From the Chemo Suite
Internet working in chemo suite today. Last time signal was dodgy. I know how much you all want to be right here where the fun never ends. 🙂 Getting pre-chemo drip soon. Benedryl (sp?) to make me nice and sleepy. Today we FINALLY remember to pre-lidocaine my port and it went SO much better when …
So far, so good
Well the Fattening Up party was awesome. It was the greatest distraction and being around all of these people with positive energy was just what I needed. I would highly recommend having one even if you aren’t going through chemo. I don’t know who brought the VooDoo Donuts, but they were really good. I got …
Countdown to Chemo

Holiday Highlights

I’m Still Alive
We’ve been without the internet for over a week now. If I normally comment on your blog and/or e-mail you etc. etc. it is not that I do not love you any more, it is that I have been too busy being snowed in and then MOVING to go wi-fi hunting. Hopefully, we will get …
