keepingballance: decisions, decisions
http://keepingballance.blogspot.com/2011/09/decisions-decisions.html
Saturday, September 24, 2011. I have been trying to write this post for a few days. and I still don't know what to say or where to start! Wednesday I had appointments in Chapel Hill, a surgery post-op, labs and appt. with the radiation oncologist. The fluid build-up was a big enough concern that a needle was inserted to try to drain the fluid. I say "try" because even though there is obviously fluid in there, it wouldn't come out! Blood came out with no problems at all! As the doctor pointed out I don't ...

keepingballance: March 2015
http://keepingballance.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 28, 2015. Celebrating this day is so important for my family. It has become quite the tradition. The girls always bake a special treat. Usually with a candle. The day is a symbol to them that I am here and healthy. Celebrating today with my family should distract me from the anxiety I have felt lately. Keeping me in your prayers would be much appreciated. Also please continue to pray for those who are currently fighting and my fellow survivors. God Bless! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My la...

keepingballance: well, I am officially tattooed!
http://keepingballance.blogspot.com/2013/06/well-i-am-officially-tattooed.html
Saturday, June 29, 2013. Well, I am officially tattooed! And they didn't hurt at all! Well, one hurt just a tiny bit, but pretty much I had no feeling at all! The coloring has been tattooed on both breasts. Sorry to disappoint those who thought I had finally gone and gotten something cool! Although that is on my agenda! A pink ribbon but the actual design and placement are still undecided). My three month check-up with Dr. Zagar was also last week and I am so happy to report that all is well! I am a daug...

keepingballance: thankful
http://keepingballance.blogspot.com/2012/11/thankful.html
Saturday, November 24, 2012. This post should have been written on Thanksgiving day but considering my jet lagged state I am doing it now! How ironic that Thanksgiving day this year is the one year anniversary of my last radiation treatment. What better way to celebrate the day of giving thanks! I love to fly, so that didn't worry me at all, but I do have to say that being in another country did worry me a little. I was so fortunate to be able to go with the most wonderful group of people! The day before...

keepingballance: chemo has come to an end
http://keepingballance.blogspot.com/2011/08/chemo-has-come-to-end.html
Friday, August 12, 2011. Chemo has come to an end. Burned me up yet again. So far it doesn't seem to have burned my tongue like it did last time fingers crossed! Praise report: We have been keeping an eye on my hemoglobin so that when it got too low I could get the red blood cell booster shot. Two weeks ago it was 10.3, one week ago 10.1, so we thought that yesterday it would be low enough to go ahead and get the shot. Now something to remind you, is that I really didn't want this shot! I have less then ...

keepingballance: August 2012
http://keepingballance.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 18, 2012. One highlight of my trip to Chapel Hill was that Stewart and I got to meet another couple that is getting ready to go through the expansion process. The Dr. asked us if we would mind speaking with them about our experience with doing "fills" at home. Great feeling to know that you can use your experiences to help other people make better decisions. My girls have only a week left before they go back to school. One starting Middle School and one starting Kindergarten. Wow! Wish I...
