It's been a lazy day today. Other than going to Costco for groceries and gas I've just been watching movies. I managed to sneak in working out for 40 minutes which was difficult but so worth it because I had intended to go on a hike today but opted to sleep in with the love of my life even though he did a bad job on Mother's Day. Why do so many guys need so much prompting for special occasions? I even had to remind Cruz yesterday that it was Mother's Day. I wasn't looking for much...I at least wanted a home made card but instead I got myself a red velvet cupcake from Sift and ate it for breakfast today. I know...not healthy, but it was for Mother's Day...I mean, I almost died giving birth for God's sake. And now I have Stage 4 cancer and am still working...I deserve a cupcake. And Cruz decided to walk to Starbucks to get me a white mocha, my favorite. But anyway, I watched the movie Me Before You earlier today and I think I cried for half the movie. The...
I was sick for almost a week. First Cruz and then me. I had the biggest headache for 2 days that made it even worse. It finally went away after I took a nap yesterday. I hate headaches. It always makes me think I have a brain tumor which is what happened Friday night. My headache was so bad that I was sure I had a brain tumor and that if I fell asleep I would die. So, I stayed awake as long as I could. I fought off sleep until my body was so exhausted I passed out. I haven't had a brain MRI in awhile and sometimes I think I should request one from my oncologist but I'm scared. I want to know but I don't want to know. I think I'm fine but I don't know for sure. My situation could change in the blink of an eye and that's scary to think about. My liver has also been hurting again. And my shoulder. I feel like one of those old people that has like 100 ailments and I'm only in my 30's. This isn't supposed to be happening....but it is. Next, I'll be ob...
I spent the first part of my Halloween at appointments. One of them happened to be my infusion of Perjeta & Herceptin. Most of the staff were dressed up in Halloween costumes which made it kind of fun to be there. I put on my cat ears to show a little Halloween spirit during my infusion. Of course I got very drowsy after I got my Benadryl and I slept on and off until I got home. I want to say thank you to one of my friends for taking me to my appointments. Obviously I can’t drive after getting Benadryl. I would probably fall asleep while driving and that’s not good. I have a love/hate relationship with my infusions. I love talking to the staff and knowing that I’m doing everything I can to keep cancer out of my life but I also hate the fact that I have to do it in the first place. Life was so much simpler before cancer but this is the life I’ve been dealt and I just have to enjoy the time that I do have here with my son. I’m trying to live life in the present. When I got home...
