I'll be having a good day, when all of a sudden, it's dawns on me that I have breast cancer. I start to cry, like I am right now, and It is a feeling and sensation that I truly cannot overcome easily. I have to just let it out and cry and hope I don;t get it again, but I know I will. I now cry in all sorts of places and I look odd doing it, but it is what it is!
One thing that keeps me up is my family. I am so very proud of them for helping me, driving me around and just being there with me and playing games and hanging out. My friends have been there too. Have I forgotten to mention how very generous and loving all of my friends have been? Well I am sorry it has taken me this long to do so. From many, many dishes of food, candy, chips, drinks, gift cards and clothing, I am forever humbled and grateful. My friend Karen also made me a chemo quilt! She had my family and some of our good friends in the hood sign a square, then she quilted them together with a poker pattern (surprising I know), then she presented it to me! I cried while I was reading each square. They all mean so much to me, especially since people took the time out of their day to do it. I even got a message from Mocha and Dixie! I will have to post it on here some how. I will figure it out.
Well, I was really hoping that my chemo will start Monday, and it might, if I get my drain out early that morning. I pray that I do because I want to get this going and get on with my life. I am grateful for everyday, for everyday is a blessing to me!

  2. I don't know if the chemo will be starting today(Monday), Kathy, but I'll be praying. Tears do help, I'm sure, as does the love of your family and friends! I'm so impressed with your spirit!
