Halfway There

I've been slacking on posting things. Was unexpectedly side tracked and taken down for a while. I finished the first round 4 weeks ago. Thank goodness cause that was the toughest and most nasty thing I've ever experienced. Those meds made me feel like I wanted to die, my emotional state wasn't very good and it was difficult to talk to anyone over the phone so I apologize to those who tried to call me. 

I'm currently on new meds (the second round) which I take every Friday - my last one of those is on Halloween! All the chemo nurses are dressing up in costumes so I'm planning my costume now- by the way chemo nurses are the NICEST NURSES, I've become close with a few of them. Anyway, after October I will continue with chemo (the third round) until next Summer, but there will be no side effects and my hair will start to grow back. 

I'm getting used to being bald (well not completely bald so far I still have some stubble). I was feeling like a circus freak for a while but now it's not so bad I guess. The main thing that concerns me now is getting back into shape- practicing patience. Now that I have more energy and I don't feel sick I've started walking and getting back to the yoga studio (thank u Jim, I love u). I've really missed my little yoga family and seeing them really lifts my spirits.

Some people have asked about my prognosis. Cancer is a weird thing cause the cells can't be tracked or anything. Basically u just do the treatment and hope for the best. However my prognosis has been really good since the beginning. Since it's stage 1 and didn't spread anywhere, it's like 95% chance for survival. After chemo I decide if I do radiation or mastectomy, but basically now waiting for my genetic testing results to come in before making those decisions.

Well that's it for now- just want to say thank u so much to everyone who donated to my fund I want u to know how incredibly helpful it's been. I begun to pay some of my bills without the added stress. I love u all.
