Cancer #6: Treatment
October 1. 2015 I did not get my treatment the thirtieth because the insurance has not yet approved it. I was pretty down about it, but I used sarcasm and humor to get through it. I’m forcing a positive attitude. Making fun of terrible situations help me think about in a way that always makesContinue reading “Cancer #6: Treatment”
Psoriatic Disease Hates Me
My shoulder surgery date finally arrived, Feb 24th! After today and a few weeks of rehab, my split bicep and torn rotator cuff will no longer cause pain when I move my left arm. Five years of suffering will end! As I put on the gown and other surgical clothes, the nurse stepped in andContinue reading “Psoriatic Disease Hates Me”
Cancer #5: Still Waiting…
Sept 9, 2015 I left work again today to meet my surgeon, Dr McNeir. Of course, it did not feel warm, nor fuzzy when I announced I had another appointment. I don’t think asking for some compassion is wrong. My boss is kind of cold. The surgeon seemed personable and scheduled my lymphectomy on FridayContinue reading “Cancer #5: Still Waiting…”
Cancer #4: Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
August 27, 2015 I’ve waited all week for today. Today is it, and I don’t really want to go because I am afraid. Ken and I walk in together holding hands. We sit silently in the room and wait. I wonder what it feels like to tell someone they have cancer. How do you doContinue reading “Cancer #4: Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma”

August 5, 2015 The sonogram showed that there are 2 lymph nodes affected and I go in for a CT scan with IV contrast tomorrow. I’m scared but feeling positive. I’m so tired. I have been tired since the beginning of last year. I sweat profusely, too. Those are both symptoms. I can’t believe it.Continue reading “Cancer #3: “I’m so sorry…””
Cancer #2: Is It, or Is It Not
July 30, 2015I told Dr. Hanna I had been reading Google Scholar about neck lumps. From what I read, I have a 77% chance of not having a problem. That is good news. That’s what I’m talking about! :^) July 31, 2015Sonogram this morning. I’ll get the results on Monday. I’m on Google again. FoundContinue reading “Cancer #2: Is It, or Is It Not”
Cancer #1: I Discovered the Lump
I started this little journal the day I found the lump. I figured from the beginning, it was bad and I wanted to remember it all. I know that regardless of the outcome, I WILL FIGHT, AND I WILL WIN! How do I know? Because live or die, I will be in charge of myContinue reading “Cancer #1: I Discovered the Lump”
Should You Get the Covid-19 Vaccination?
I wrestled with this question. The vaccines came about so quickly. My health issues were already quite complicated. My husband was high risk for hospitalization and death if he were infected with Covid-19. What should I do? What should he do? Was the vaccine safe? Would it make us sick? We heard in late DecemberContinue reading “Should You Get the Covid-19 Vaccination?”
