Random thoughts and update

Oct 28, 2009

I am stopping by to post a quick update. I just completed my 10th chemo treatment on Monday and have 2 to go. Since my last posting I have lost my hair, my uterus (and more!) and have gained 40 pounds! I never thought I would have to face the weight battle again, but it will be the battle I face once my treatments are done. Should be the least of my worries, but its still there. Add the baldness and feeling terrible and its not a good look!

I scrolled through a few pages and don't recognize names - could be chemo brain but I think the majority of people who were banded during my time have moved on with their lives and are just living and enjoying life. At least that is my hope. And yet there is such a familiarity in reading the concerns and questions, the stories and challenges, because even though the people change the issues don't. I will never regret being banded, and just hope that I can use the band again and that it will be able to help me get a sense of normality and control back in my life that cancer has taken away from me.

I am on full disability leave from work and have "dark days" but for the most part I stay positive and look towards the future. I pray that this is just a chapter in my book that I will look back on and say "remember when" and it will not  be a constant struggle that I will face or that it will take me too soon. I have too much to live for, thin or not! :)
