The New Year

We have entered 2011. I am feeling good. Continued joint pain and HOT flashes but otherwise doing well. I just had a couple of test this week. An ECHO to see if my heart is tolerating the Herceptin and a DEXA bone density test to see how my bones are handling the forced menopause.

It is sad to go get treatment and to see all the women who have just began their journey with breast cancer. I think there were 8 of us in the infusion area at my last treatment. I believe I was the furthest along. Everyone looked so bald and so sick. I felt like I was just dropping in having a little down time in my day and they were so in the middle of all the hell.

Jen is amazing (she told me to write that) and Jaxon is .... well still being Jaxon. Today he was doing a little puzzle on his I phone and I told him I would give him $5 dollars if he could tell me who the picture was. He said "Mona Lisa", I gave him $5!
