Hello all my Peeps! First I want to thank you all for keeping up with me and praying and sending me inspiring messages and such. Also, thank all of you who have supported my Go Fund Me account, it has provided me the opportunity to decrease my medical bills substantially! Now to the info!
I had my LAST CHEMO TREATMENT on 2/10/16!!!!!! That was a great thing and it was the worst thing. I had to go back the day after to have iron infusion and fluids plus my Neulasta shot so some numbers were down but as for the tumor it was good. It was the worst in side effects, couldn't eat, constant pain, and just miserable all around. I was out of work for a week and I felt like crap all 7 days I was out! It's been about 2 weeks after and I am just now getting back to myself. Still some fatigue issues but all in all I'm on the upswing! Still having neuropathy in my hands and feet, most of the pain comes in my feet. I am anxious to start doing fun things in Dallas so those in the DFW, I'm ready for invites! LOL
The day before my chemo, I had an appointment with my surgeon in which she had scheduled surgery for March 17th, St. Paddy's Day (no green beer for me!) and I should expect to be out of work for 2-3 weeks. The surgery will be to remove the tumor (or where the marker is because it is pretty much gone and clean margins plus an axillary dissection of the the lymph node that the tumor was right next to. I had to have an MRI yesterday at the surgeon's request to make sure she was seeing everything she needed to see. I will see her again on March 1st (Super Tuesday, don't forget to vote those of you who are in those states) and we will further discuss her plan. I will also have my port removed during this surgery and the plastic surgeon will be present in case she has to go into the pocket where my implants are and they will have a new one on hand in case something happens to the old one. I also talked him into cleaning up something that I didn't like from the other surgery! Hey as long as I'm there, may as well get something I want out of this!
So I got a new wig that is short but I love it and have gotten several compliments on. I guess my collection is complete, well, until I find that Beyonce' Formation wig I want! LOL
In all honesty, I have been rocking some headwraps and hats a lot lately, and as soon as there is enough hair on my head to look like I have a baby caesar cut I will be wigless and wrapless! LOL
I want to thank God for allowing my Grandmother Lillie Mae Leggett to see 106 years on 2/14/16, although I wasn't well enough to attend the celebration I know it was wonderful. I look forward to being able to attend her 107th! This little lady just keeps on going and we love her!
And as always I want to thank my mother for always being here to take care of me, leaving her home to be with me in mine! And this time she brought my Grandma with her, I enjoyed both of them but I know my Grandma is happy to be home so that she can "doodle" around her house, there wasn't enough stuff to do in my house and she can't just sit an relax.....probably because she will fall asleep! LOL
Sorry for the delay in the update, my computer died last week and well, let's just say I'm working on it!
Again thanks to you all for keeping up with my "Saga" and I hope all is well with each and every one of you. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families affected by the storms in the south and east coast, wait, the midwest snow and....aww heck the whole country, El Nino is wrecking havioc on us all!
Nina, this is wonderful news! I am so excited about you enjoying your new home area in Texas! Praying for your Doctors wisdom in performing your procedures, quick recovery and healing! You are so Blessed to have your Mom and grandmother! Thanks Nina for the update! Sending special hugs your way! You look great ~
