June 14th Well this is it... My treatments are done. I'm on my way back to my life. It's been a long journey that's for sure. I hope I've come through this a different person. Physically and mentally. I hope I look at life a little different now. Maybe not stress over things that I cannot change and give more attention to the things I can. I know through all of this I have made such wonderful friends and become closer to the friends that I already had.
My physical appearance has definitely changed. I still have no breasts, my hair is extremely short and about 15 lbs lighter... well that part may be a good thing. I had been trying to lose a little weight :) I do NOT however, recommend chemo as a weight loss program. hahaha. My son announced to us that he is getting married July 30th. I truly hope that I at least have fake breasts by then. I hate to have pictures taken looking like this. People that don't know us will think Michael has 2 daddy's. Hmmm, maybe I should wear a tux to the wedding or maybe a really frilly dress so people will know.
This blog has been a great comfort to me. I have used it to voice my feelings and to keep up with some of my friends and family. Anyone that knows me knows that I have to voice my feelings and opinions. Everyone wants my thoughts right? :)
I return to work tomorrow. Please say a prayer for me. Actually, maybe we better say a prayer for the people I work with :)
It was great seeing you at work! You look beautiful!! I feel very blessed to know you and call you a friend :)
