Appointment with the surgeon!

Why in the world do they schedule an appointment for 2:30....the doctor didn't even come in until 5!!!!  I was way beyond irritated!!!  They are going to call me tomorrow to let me know when they are going to put the port in.  I also have to have a stint put in my left kidney because the mass has blocked the tube to the kidney...which means that the left kidney isn't working very well!  They are going to do all this at the same time.  I am so nervous about being put to sleep! 

I am feeling a little overwhelmed today.....just ready to get this party started!  I hate waiting.....and waiting.....and waiting!!!!  Don't really have anything insightful to say today...just feeling blah!  I'm still in good spirits...not depressed or anything.....just so much going on!  And I HATE GOING TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!!  :) 

First Chemo Appointment

Man....The Oncology Center is kinda sad and depressing and I think they like scaring the crap out of you....my gosh...those people act like they have cancer or something!! I need a computer so I can start a blog!! Y'all....harass my husband until he gets me one!!! :)

So....the doctor gave me two choices....option 1: lighter dose of chemo once a week or option 2: take a more aggressive approach... and get a port put in and do chemo 4 days and then take two weeks off! Of course....y'all know I'm gonna slap Cancer right in it's ugly little face.....I chose option 2! Not sure when we start, they will be calling to schedule the time to put in the port! Whoooohoooo.....please keep your arms inside the roller coaster it's about to take off!!!! Here we go!!!

It's Baaacccck!!

Good morning to y'all! Boy did I wake up to some wonderful posts and messages this morning. I guess most of you know that my cancer has returned. I have a mass beside my kidney (which is the cause of my stomach and back pain) I met with the radiologist yesterday and will meet with the chemo dr on Friday! Either next week or the week after I will start radiation 5 days a week and will be doing chem...o too (not sure of when or how often until Friday). Y'all I am fine....I will be fine. Here's some things you should know:

1. I am a fighter and I have wonderful family and friends that will be by my side.
2. God is by my side and will carry me and my friends and family through this.
3. I pray that people will open their hearts and minds and see the wonderful healing powers that God is going to place on me.
4. I need some pretty hats! :)
5. I plan to play the "cancer" card at all times....if I don't wanna clean...i'm gonna say "I've got cancer, I don't want to!"
6. I may be sick for a little while, but I've been through 3 pregnancies...9 months worth of sickness...I can handle 8 weeks!
7. Do NOT and I repeat DO NOT feel sorry for me! God has special plans for my life and this just happens to be a small chapter.
8. I want everyone of you to shave your head so I don't have to walk around getting stared at alone.
9. Please pray for my family.....they are having a hard time with this. Be there for my husband, my mom, my dad, my mother-in-law, my boys, my sisters and cousins.
10. I hope that my head is perfectly round and doesn't have any strange bumps on it! :)
11. I love each and everyone of you so much and am grateful for your prayers, calls, texts and messages. Please keep up the encouragement....I may need it! :)
