Cruz's Favorite Song (For Now)

This is Cruz's favorite song for now. He says the ending is sad because no one should have to die of cancer. He even tries to sing it in the car. :)

April Cancerversary and Philadelphia

Sometime this morning: I'm sitting here in the infusion center at the moment getting my chemo drugs and also starting to feel really sleepy from the Benadryl. Being on Benadryl is such a weird feeling because I'm so sleepy but I try to fight it until I can no longer keep my eyes open. I think it's because I'm still afraid to fall asleep and not wake up. It's an irrational thought, I know. Plus, it's April...my Cancerversary month. 6 years ago in the month of April I found out I had Metastatic breast cancer. I found the tumor on April 6, went to the doctor on April 9, got an ultrasound and mammogram April 10, biopsy on April 11, told I had HER2+ breast cancer on April 12, PET scan and bone scan April 26, and found out it had already spread to my liver on April 27. The only date I can't remember is the day I had the breast MRI to get an accurate size of the tumor. Turns out I had 3 tumors in my right breast measuring 7cm, 3cm and 1cm. I also had 2 lesions on...

So, I had my PET-CT scan today and I have to say that despite the delays this was the most relaxing scan I've ever had thanks to my 1mg of Ativan. As usual, I changed into my lovely hospital attire and waited for them to start my IV. I never let them use my port to inject the radioactive isotope or the contrast dye because sometimes it can clog the port. I notice that the nurse is about to open a tegaderm package and I politely tell him that I'm allergic to tegaderm so he uses gauze and tape instead which made for a lovely IV.

Thank God, the machine was fixed and I was injected with the isotope and also 20mg Lasix which I had never had before for the scan. Obviously I asked them "why the Lasix" and they said because it gives them a...

My Life Now

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...
