I'm sad. Don't know why.

Woot!

I don't have to draw my eyebrows anymore! You can see them!! Ok, I did use some hair dye to make them more visible, but that's not really cheating.

Last Wednesday

Just have to think that. I feel absolutely horrible today. I nearly passed out earlier while sitting in my chair. Imagine if I'd been standing! Hoo boy, back to the sofa. Tomorrow evening I shall say goodbye to the pain. Good riddance. See how long it takes for my heart to settle down and for the dizziness to go away.

Apartment Pictures

I know! I need to take them! They are coming soon, I swear. I need everyone to wish me luck on the first day of class. I really hope I can make it. If I can get there Tuesday as well, I'll be thrilled, though I'm definitely not counting on it.

Anyways, my next hospital visit will be on Friday, I'll be taking Rachel to her last chemo. Then the next Friday, I'm getting another PET scan. Then the Tuesday after that, I'll be seeing Dr. Mininberg and getting a referral to see the radiation oncologist. Whew! See how this all goes. When I start radiation I'll have to go in every day, but only for a short time, nothing near as long as chemo. And the side effects shouldn't be nearly as bad. *crosses fingers*

Fake Hair

I took a pic and stuck some hair on it for fun. Looks pretty funny. =)

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Ok, first off, Rachel is out of the hospital! *cheers* No more fever, she should get her last chemo in a week. Great news!

Ok, second off, I'M DONE WITH CHEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG the combination of "Holy shit I'm done with chemo!" and massive amounts of steroids is making me soooo hyper. I'm just bouncing all over the damn place! I hope I can get some sleep tonight... it's not looking good so far.

But I'm not quite off the hook, of course. My Hodgkin's Lymphoma Stage IIa non-favorable and bulky = radiation up ahead. Those pesky little tumors did take up 1/3 of my chest cavity after all! How the hell was I able to breathe?? Anyway, I'm in remission and hope to stay that way! I will be withholding my end of chemo party for Rachel. We shall party like crazed drugged up sleepyheads as none have before!

=(

Rachel's been admitted to the hospital. Her fever won't go away. Really fucking lousy luck. She's supposed to be done with chemo! Not fair.

And there was sad news this week. Meera died. She was battling breast cancer for a second time. Alvin and Tricia now have her doggie. Here is a picture of the adorable couple, Meera and Dinky.

Well, the day ended well. Fritz got off late from work again, but when he got back we went out for dinner since I was just up to it for some reason. I wore a cute new dress with a new hat. I've decided to go back to hats when I'm out where there are lots of people. My hair has reached the length that to some it might look like I did this intentionally. =P That and it's just a little... well... manly looking. Can't be helped. I think once it's at least an inch and half long there will be some hope. 2 inches will be lovely.

Bored

I'm bored. Not feeling great, can't do much. And bored. *sighs*

Ok

I'm getting there. 1 left now. Slow and chugging along.
Oh, and my hair is so long now! Maybe soon it'll be a full half a centimeter. Don't be jealous!

Oh joy

So I didn't get chemo today, it's been pushed back to Tuesday. Instead, I got to enjoy spending time in the emergency room. Got there at 4 this morning, didn't get back till almost 10. I've got some sort of stomach virus. Basically, my stomach hurts, a lot, I threw up last night, and now I have a fever. The pain started last night at around 11 and is still going strong. I guess yay for being sick from something other than cancer/chemo?
Oh, and I need a way to get to chemo on Tuesday now. More fun.
