My life changed dramatically on Mother's Day 2013. Three days later I was diagnosed with cancer from my physician. This blog was made to keep my family and friends informed to what has been happening to me the past few weeks. When I find out news from different Doctor's through all of the procedures I have had, so many of you have wanted me to text, email, call, or someway contact you. It humbles me how many of you are concerned. Sometimes I forget to contact some of you. This way, you can stay in touch with what is happening now. Please feel free to comment. I hope I have it set up so you can. If not, I will ask Emily my daughter to help me, since she helped me get this set up.

My First Side Effects.....

Well, I knew it wouldn't be long until the side effects of my little" friends" would surface.  I sort of noticed something last night, but today I'm sure.  My palms are starting to look red and super sensitive to heat!  Picking up a pancake  and testing my dish water was like putting my hand on a hot plate!  So super sensitive to heat! And the bottoms of my feet are starting to be tender and somewhat sore.  I can't be a wimp.  It assuredly will get worse before it gets better.  I was aware of  what would happen to the palms and bottoms of my feet.  Only they most likely will get very red and dry and cracked!  (That hasn't happened yet.)  Last night in bed, my cancer masses bothered me in my stomach.  I haven't felt them like that for many weeks.  I had to keep reminding myself, " the Nexivar is doing its job.... Yea"!

I am excited to have family pictures taken this evening.  I wanted to do it soon in case I lose my hair and get the red facial acne.  While Shane, my son is here from Vegas, I thought it would be a good family picture moment.

Thank you for caring about me enough to read my blog. I wish I knew who you all are that visit. Thank you for comments you leave.  It makes me happy.

  3. We ended up not having the family picture. I was pretty bummed. Now my son will go back to Vegas and I don't know when we will all be together again.

  7. Just asked Lynzee what the pills are doing to your enemy. She was a little confused then out of no where she said that its the dwarfs dropping rocks on the evil queen. I have to admit, a pretty good way to picture it. Cheering for you on this side of the ocean!! We Love you!!
