Been Busy But...

Been very busy this week but can't remember what I have done since Monday. Okay I pulled out my calendar and now I know. On Tuesday I had another CAT scan, in order for them to map out my radiation. The guy doing it was very young. Boy was that uncomfortable! Especially when when he was drawing on my back (and other places) with a sharpie! That whole process was a pain! It took a really long time. I have to go back tomorrow so they can re-sharpie me. Then Tuesday I go for a test run and then they will put little tattoos on me in place of the sharpie. I should start radiation on March 9th and I am going back to work on the 10th! I need to go back before my brain is total mush! I have to go for radiation for 33 days, everyday Monday - Friday. They say one of the side effects is fatigue, but that usually doesn't happen until you are half way through. Nothing can compare with the fatigue I felt from chemo. I think I slept for four months straight!

Yesterday I had a great time at lunch meeting up with a new friend and my old Unilever friends. My new friend is Sophia. She was introduced to me through my friend Bev. Sophia also has breast cancer and was diagnosed right after I was. Our treatments have been very similar and we have been pen pals throughout this long winter. We decided now was a good time for us to finally meet. It was also great seeing and catching up with my former co-workers!

Today I went to the dentist to start working on the crown that will go over the root canal tooth. Tonight I had dinner with Mom and Dad. I actually cooked and took it to their house. There are too many begging animals here to eat peacefully.

So that is what is up with me, email me and tell me what's new in your life!

Another Cold Monday!

I really don't like this weather. Today, I finally got to the dentist for my cleaning. Going again on Thursday to begin work on the crown I need. After what I have been through the last few months, the dentist is nothing. I used to get really nervous when going to the dentist, then a few years ago, I was on my way there after work, I was in a rush and was really nervous and I drove into the back of a plumbing van. I thought my light had changed but it was the turning lane one that changed. Both the van and my car had some damage, but they never filed a claim, and ever since then I do not get nervous anymore!

Anyway I hate this wind, I get so nervous that my wig is going to fly off! I can just picture it, a fat bald lady running after Little Orphan Annie hair! Oh Yeah, my own hair is still growing! It is really light and feels soft. It may be a half a centimeter already. I can actually grab it, so it is exciting. Maybe I will have eyebrows soon again! I still have a few eyelashes left!

The weekend was nice. We had dinner at mom's with Anthony and the kids on Saturday. Yesterday I met my friends for Lunch my friend Bev's pizza place. It is wonderful, great food and great pizza too. If you are anywhere by Wood-Ridge NJ, go check it out. It is called Basile's! They were laughing at me because I drove and went right through a Stop sign. I never saw it! I still have a touch of Chemo brain.

Tomorrow I am going to the Radiologist, to be mapped for radiation. Sounds like fun ha? Hopefully I will start soon, not be so tired anymore and find my brain!
