I woke this morning
with no headache
and no numbness
Yay.
Though my brain feels “sore”
My muscles and joints
don’t hurt as bad
nor does my breast
though there is still pain there.
still…
I am working on my eBay today…

I’m very concerned about the current
changes in
my breast
and the
pain in
my breast
my chest
my joints
my muscles
my long bones
my headaches
I moved up my monthly blood draw and
Zometa infusion to today
Though when I went to the Center, I discovered that
I was supposed to be there last Friday…
Oops
Anyway
Hope to have the blood work back by Tuesday.
My next PET/CT scan is scheduled for
the end of February
but I left a message with Dr. DeLeon
that I want to move it to ASAP.
Hope to have that done by next
Wednesday, so we can get the
results by Friday.
Then we can see what is happening.
And make some
changes, decisions
if needed.
But for tonight
Christine called
so I am going to have dinner
with Her & Rob
then to their home
and play some games
I need the company.

When I heard of this loss today, I just cried and cried. I did not personally know Shawn Felty, but – despite his own battle with colon cancer – he went out of his way to donate to my fund, and to offer words of encouragement. I sent a “Thank You” as I truly was grateful, but I did not keep in touch with him. I have let my battle overshadow the fact that I should keep in touch with the people who have reached out to me.
It is no excuse, it is simply fact. It is difficult when you are struggling to do everything yourself, everything by yourself, and are so tired by the end of the day, so tired by the beginning of the day, so tired to add more to the list… I will strive to do better… somehow…
“On December 13, 2009 at 4:30 pm, Shawn Felty passed peacefully surrounded by family and close friends. He was loved by many, with nearly 100 teammates, fellow actors, colleagues, cancer survivors, cancer fighters, Colondar models and friends visiting him over the last few days. For two years he battled this disease with incredible strength and extraordinary grace and he was inspiration to all who knew him. The world lost an amazing man today, but he left behind a perfect example of perseverance, fortitude and friendship.”

i feel like i am
Falling
Back into
A pattern of
Normalcy
Which
Concerns me
Because i
Need to be
Alert
Vigilant
No time for
Lackadaisical
Meandering
No time for
Forgetting
That I am
Fighting.
This is
Serious
My
Life.

Once again,
I’m trying
to put on a
new face
a
mask
A smile
to
fool
myself
to
fool
the
world
this might
help
if I actually
got out of
my pajamas
but they are so comfy
and I am
so tired…

The “Season” is over.
The commercials on TV are
No longer
about Christmas
No longer
about the celebration
No longer
about the joy.
No more Merry Merry
Loving Family
Happy Couple
Smiling Children
It’s almost as though
a switch
was flipped
a marketing switch
was flipped.
Which is fine
with me.
Right now
This moment
In time
it is
too much for me
the pain is
too much for me
So flipp the switch
and I will cope
much easier
It will be
much easier.
