Pressure
It's Thanksgiving...but to be honest it feels just like a normal day. It was the first time in eight years that I didn't cook our Thanksgiving dinner. I'm very proud of Lisa, she cooked all the sides and Daniel handled the turkey. Lisa and Daniel have kept things going while I am sick, and I am very grateful for them. Since I was not able to do much because of my surgery, it allowed me to think and feel all sorts of new emotions. The first feeling I felt was Anger - Why did this have to happen to me and...

The Chemo of Good and Evil.
Chemo...how do I even
begin?
I hate this medicine,
but love it at the same time. Fighting my breast cancer is impossible
without chemo. I appreciate what it is doing to my cancer, but I hate it
for what it is doing to my body. Chemo is hard. There is no other
way to say it.
I have had two rounds of
chemo; both infusions have been difficult. I had reactions both times to
the chemo. The reaction usually happens within the first ten minutes of starting
the infusion. I get flushed, hot, and then...
