The hoops and hurdles have began

My surgeon said I would go thru many hoops and hurdles..but there will be a finish!!!  Ok so let's just get it started.  I had a lumpectomy with sentinel nodes  two days later.  What? All these new terms I need to start learning.     Surgery was a peice of cake.no problems with recovery..."Honey..I can't cook, I can't get me a glass of water...can you please?"  Thank you.  Glenn has been the best. 

My daughter had a pretty big kidney stone that kept me occupied the following week...that kept me busy being with and helping her.  I didn't have time to think about myself.  I finally told my parents about my new diagnosis....that was one of the hardest things I had to do.  Now everyone kn

I had my first appointment with the oncologist..."I am not supposes to be a patient signing in here...I always send patients here....not me!!!"   This was a little upsetting...for now it is all becoming  more of a reality.   The next words..chemo....strong chemo...for 6 months?  "Have you lost your mind?" I was thinking.  Ok so anything  that increases my survival rate and this cancer never coming back...yes  I will lose my hair and be sick for 6 months....but I will live!!!  I have a wedding to plan and go to!

Today...I bought new hair!!   My son, daughter and sister and I went to the wig store.  At first when I walked in I wanted to throw up.  Then, with some comic releif from family members,  it got to be fun.  Wow you mean I can just pick one out, put it on in the mornings, fluff it and go?  Heck yeah!  I can save  so much money on hair products, and can you imagine the time you can save each morning..spraying fluffing, curling etc...I can probably sleep in an extra 30 minutes each morning.  I had to buy a hat to leave out of the store...my real hair was plastered to my scalp!!!

I know I would not of made it this far with a semi good atitude, without trusting in my Great Physician. God is seeing me and my family thru this journey.   Sometimes I want to lock myself in my room and scream and ask why me Lord.  I don't ask this.  I know it can happen to anyone at anytime, but He has my hand and he will lead me  thru this.
