| Hi Everyone! It has been quite a while since I have been on here. I am 2/3 of the way through treatment for Breast Cancer and have one final hurdle to clear, Radiation treatments. Chemo was the first and hardest part and I am still recovering from the after effects. The surgery was successful, as was the chemo. They got it out and the lymph nodes were clear. Radiation will be most of the month of July and a little bit of August. I will be on immunotherapy treatments until the beginning of next year. To say that this has been a very long ordeal would be an understatement at best. Since my diagnosis at Christmas of last year, my life has been a constant round of doctors, tests and hospital visits for treatments. The care I have received has been wonderful. Right now, my mind is about 1000 steps ahead of my body and I have to learn to take things pretty easy. Writing was the last thing on my mind for the past half year, as you can imagine. Sleeping and resting became my favorite past times, lol. I am hoping in the next couple of months that my Muse will start to keep me company again. She has been most understanding of my lack of energy. I will pop back on from time to time as the year progresses and try to prod my Muse of come back from her vacation. |

| Got a diagnosis confirmation of breast cancer. I am having an MRI tomorrow to see if there is any migration of cells. The lump itself is less than 1cm in size. I do not know how they spotted this! Drs think this can be beaten. I am not exactly in a great place right now. I am trying to stay positive. The MRI they say should give an idea of what stage. This little bugger has a very low proliferation rate. If it wasn't for getting my yearly mammogram, this would never have been caught so early. Prayers, please. My eldest son told me that if I can put the fear of God into a human who is a full foot taller than she is and not bat an eye, I have this covered. (For edification, my eldest is 6' 7" tall and is built like a linebacker.) So my participation rate is going to be sporadic at best for the time being. I will be journaling, as writing helps to calm me a bit. I just need the Muse to get on the same page for a change! |
| I have been away from here for quite a while. Covid has caused quite a bit of mischief over the holidays. A lot of Christmas in January this year! Then I get another monkey wrench thrown into the works health-wise. I had a breast biopsy done on the 23rd of December. I should be hearing this week about the results. Christmas was a bit nerve-wracking. Luckily, those not dealing with Covid were here with us to help me keep my mind off things. I feel a bit stuck right now awaiting results. I tried a bit of journaling, but the words won't make themselves known. I think that once I get my answers, I can focus a bit better. |
