Chemotherapy is getting harder and harder for our family. I’m not rebounding as fast and as well as I would like. I finally get back on my feet just in time for my next treatment. Grocery shopping and meal planning—pretty much everyday, normal life—has fallen by the wayside, so we need your help. Several of … Continue reading Help
I’m back. I’m back and I have a little PSA: Always read the label of any medication you take. This is about to get personal… I’m currently taking stool softeners to help counter some of the effects of my medications. Well, the night before my last treatment I ran out of my prescription and started … Continue reading Read the Label
Round two of chemotherapy has come and gone. That was a tough one in a whole new way. I had a lot more issues with my tummy and nausea and headaches. I had less pain in my bones, but boy it was still painful. I’m learning what drugs to take and when and for how … Continue reading You’re Bald
Two weeks ago, two days after my first treatment—ouch—we had a follow-up appointment with my obstetrician to see how I was recovering from my laparoscopic surgery and with my D&C’s. Plural.

If you have not had chemotherapy, consider yourself very, very blessed. Go outside and enjoy the sunshine because your skin isn’t burning at the first drop of light … Continue reading Dem Bones
And if you don’t like it you can send it right back. June 7 has come and gone and I’m still here standing tall. Well, tall-ish. That was a ride.

This Tuesday, June 7 at 7:45 a.m. I will start the process of what will be my first chemotherapy treatment. I don’t know … Continue reading Get Ready. Get Set.
I’m home! We made it home a few hours after I finished blogging on Saturday, May 28. Didn’t have many answers when we left but we had some great pain killers. My motto has quickly become, “You win some, you lose some.” I spent the rest of the holiday weekend sleeping and relaxing. Thank you … Continue reading Keeping the ER in Business
I had both of my surgeries on Wednesday, May 25. I was told everything went well. I was sent home around 5:00 Wednesday evening. Later that night Tim helped me to the restroom and I began fainting. I had incredible cramps. They took my breath away. I lost my hearing, began sweating like crazy, and … Continue reading Maybe too much information
