Not enough Medication for ADHD Mode

Well here we are at Mell's Wedding Reception New Year's Eve, the Mother of the Bride looked as beautiful as the Bride.


Here is Peggy Kruger, Linda and Moi'.
Some wig huh?
I know it does look better than my own old hair.
Denny chauffeured, me, Jamie & Jan Suttle to Fairhope in my new car he brought home to me last week (what a surprise). It's a Chevrolet Equinox small SUV. Gray w/ gray leather interior. I finally drove it yesterday for the first time.
I finish the hellish Leukine shots today. My right arm is full of knots, bruises and red feverish spots. I can only get shots, blood pressure & blood work drawn in my right arm because of the lymph nodes removed under my left arm. All of my Chemo goes into the medi-port on the upper right side of my chest, just below my collar bone.
Patti said that I look too good "that I am not going to get any sympathy" if I continue to give Chemo a bad name.
The dance is in over flow mode. I will have not stamina to dance but will enjoy watching everyone else have a good time.
I have finally ordered "My Friend Gave Boob" T-Shirts. They should be ready for the dance tomorrow night.

I received this from a fellow breast cancer patient who went through the exact treatment as I am going through a year ago. Fortunatly I have lost some of the pity party weight I had gained the first two months of diagnosis.

Zanz,
The newyear and event atBlackwater has kept me busy. Charlotte gaveme info that you are still working! Take a break ,Chick. I assume you are gearing up for Taxotere therapy to begin. get ready, any hair that you haven't lost will go now,i.e. eyebrows and lashes. This is the stuff that really dropped my energy, but the steroids keep your appetite up and I gained weight, eventhough I hadn't lost any w/ A/C treatments.
I'll call next week, I'm taking some time off and going oot for field trial.
You are half way through! Happy New Year
Susan

Seriously, Zana! You even look good with the Yul Brenner quaff!

I found out over the Holidays that my aunt is going through the same thing. Like you, she is a hellian and a fighter! It's gonna take more than stinkin' cancer to get her down. I had thought about sending her the link to your blog, but wanted your permission first.

I still want the "My Friend Gave Boob" shirt and if you have any more "I Gave Boob" shirts, one of those, too, for my precious auntie.

I love you dearly and look forward to getting together with soon for a fart-off!
