  • Oh February

    I haven’t written in a bit because it’s been a little crazy. I had my first event of the year January 30th-Feb 1st. Then on February 2nd, I had my first Zometa infusion. I mean okay it was pretty uneventful for the most part. They said I would probably be a little tired and then…

  • Questions people ask part 1

    So I was having a conversation today with a fellow MBC (Metastatic Breast Cancer) friend. We were talking about how people don’t know what to say because they have no idea what all this cancer stuff is about. People think that 1. All cancer is the same – you get it you die or you…

  • The Biopsy

    I had the bone biopsy yesterday. Got there at 11:30. They prepped me which was a lot of me laying there. Got the IV in, then the dr told me what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. Yes I was scared to death and thank god they sedated…

  • Getting my head together

    I’ve been seemingly doing absolutely nothing but binge watching food network this week. But in reality I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and figuring things out. A lot of self talk and some coming to reality conversations with myself. Friday, Pete and I went out to dinner. I mean, Montana Club nothing over the…

  • The Planning Begins

    I created a Facebook group that just gives basic updates as they happen. You know, because people don’t always want to hear all the details and me ranting about everything. (I can’t imagine why!) I have my notebook ready all divided out so I can keep track of things and have all my questions and…

  • And so we begin

    Had the call with my oncologist today. I don’t think she appreciates my humor though all this at all. The first thing we are going to do is biopsy the bugger. I will know when that is this week. Yay bone biopsy. I have been told that it’s going to suck ass pretty good. I…

  • Random Thoughts

    I’ve been trying to wrap my head around all this stuff. Logically I know what I need to do, but emotionally I’m a mess. I did decide to just take some time to figure out what I’m going to do and the best way to approach this. This includes seriously prioritizing what is important and…

  • Enter Stage Right, Maleficent

    Thing have been going pretty good. About 6-8 months ago I started to get a pain in my sternum. I just figured I slept on it wrong because I am kind of one of those all over the place sleepers. I was doing a wedding on June 16th and this feeling I haven’t felt in…

  • Crazy Ideas

    I said I wasn’t going to come back to this site, but I’ve been doing a lot of thinking this past year. I mean one can’t just end this! There is still more to the story. I don’t want people to get the impression that once treatment is over that’s it. Since I’ve shared so…

  • New Direction!

    Greetings all. So I feel like I’ve come to an end of my journey here on this site. What started out as a blog to help me track my progress in getting healthy and getting in shape in my 40s turned into my cancer blog. It’s been a year and 4 months since treatment ended.…
