Today's chemo socks and chemo blanket. 🙂
IP Ho!
Booyah
This is the best news to get at the start of a new round.
Would you rather…
... be so constipated that you poop a couple of deer pellets every 4 days or be so nauseous that any position besides horizontal will do? Tough choice, huh? Side note: That link does NOT go to a photo of poop, rather a podcast that talks about the Bristol Stool Scale and other interesting poop … Continue reading Would you rather…
Wow.
Well, my "coming out" party on Facebook was an overwhelming success. The outpouring of love and support... I grinned, I laughed, I cried as I read people's comments. My heart feels so full. I stared at the blinking cursor of my status update for easily 10 minutes, trying to figure out how to drop the … Continue reading Wow.
Good follow up!
Met with the doc today and she is very happy with my progress. She's excited to see my next CA-125 results in two weeks and thinks we may get down to normal range. Great news! And I surprised her with the blue wig today. She liked it a lot!

The morning begins waiting for the hospital to call to say they have a room available. As luck would have it, they called at 8am. Arrived by 9, but hit the first wall: doc's orders … Continue reading IP at the hospital

The time, it flies. (Rhonda, this one is for you.) Now, time for the story that goes with my title: Some … Continue reading Customer Compassion
