Busy week!

Its been a busy week lets see Monday went to my La Sha house and help her clean the house, Layla and I help her bath and wash her hair since she can't lift her left arm over her head yet. Layla was so cute she help wash her back, arms,hands, and feet with conditioner then she took her clothes off and raise her hands and said "me". So I had to put her in the bath with La Sha.

Tuesday was my pre-op Shreai watch Peyton and La Sha and I went to the hospital. Got there right at 10am and did my talk with the nurse about my health histroy, then went and gave blood, echo, then to x-ray. After that went to go see a nurse navaigter she went in full detail what was going to happen the minute I check in on Jan 4th. From the time I go in to operating room to what Dr. Chow will be doing to recover to my stay. She was so good at explaining every thing.

Wednesday went and did some errands and then went to La Sha and took her to go pick up Peyton meds and then week over to my son house. And then back to the house came home and did laundry. Had game night with the kids and had a glass of wine.

Happy New Year!

Christmas

Well lets see La Sha had her surgery on Wed. 22nd. So on the 24th I took Christmas Eva to her. I have been a bit much with all the grand kids there and the adults. First of all went to church for Christmas serve. It was a little crazy and noisy but fun. We had pizza, chips and dip, vegtable tray, summer sauage and cheese, cookies and candy. It was alot of visting and laughing. My children were all there and the kids daddy with his girl friend. Poor La Sha I bet she just wanted some peace and quite after that. I made the kids some reindeer food put on the lawn before they go to bed they really seem to like that.

Christmas Day was a quite one but good. Now comes the New Year!

I hope everyone else had a good one!

Today is Wed and Christmas is almost here. My daughter La Sha had her surgery today and it went well. They had to replace a lead that was not work so she will be staying over night and come home tomorrow.

Then I get to deliver some flowers to a couple of clients from the company which I am not getting paid for and having to do it on my time. Boy can't wait until Dec. 30th.

Got up Sunday morning took dogs out and fix coffee got ready for work. Those dogs sure does like coconut foot cream. The whole time I was putting in on my foot they were trying to lick it off. After I got off Sunday night went home and straight to bed. I had a good day today helping my daughter clean Peyton room and his closet. And back to work tonight and then to the hospital tomorrow for my daughter pre op. then back to deep cleaning her house before her surgery and mine. Got a busy week ahead of me.

Well here I'm house sitting!

Its Friday night and am house sitting for my son. This is great fix some food and it sure was good. Here i set in this big bed nice big bed. Watching TV it is so nice and peaceful. On my son computer even better. I guess I could us the quite time. I do have the dogs to keep me company. It would be nice to have some company but thats not happening. Oh well the lone time is not so bad. I just don't know what to do with myself. What does one do when they have lone time?

New News!

Just found out today that my surgery is Jan. 4 at 7:15 am. Didn't think is was going to be this soon. I was looking at around the middle of the month. But you know what glad I'm getting it done early. Life is wonderful with all the blessings I have.

Dr. Results

Went to the surgeon today. I told her that my right breast was draining blood and she said its normal for breast cancer. From when I seen her last month the tumor has not gotten any smaller. When I went to see Dr. Oommen on the 1st he said it has but I told him I didn't think it had and I could feel the lymph nodes a litter bigger. Well Dr. Chow also agree with me that it hasn't gotten any smaller. So we decide that I will have both breast remove. She said there is a enough skin to close up. But they are going to have to do some pulling and it is going to be tight. She will remove all my lymph nodes under my right arm. I will stay over night and go home the next day with 4 drain bulbs. Surgery she said will take about 4 hrs. After 4 weeks of surgery I will start radiation every day for 6 weeks. After about 3 months then comes Reconstruction. I am so ready to get the surgery done.

Love like you have never been love before!
Live one day at a time and treasure it, you never know when it will be your last day!

Been Thinking!

Been thinking here lately not sure way maybe cause surgery is coming up pretty soon. Here are my thoughts. When you have some thing like cancer people go into hiding or they come out of the closet. So they keep in touch with you at the beginning and then they stop talking to you. I have had some friends that when they found out its all about keeping in touch asking and show their concerns and that they are prayer for you. And then you don't hear from them any more why is that? What are they afraid of? That they might get it or is it because I lost my hair or because I won't have a chest any more. And then there are the ones that don't talk to you in such a long time. And when they found out they are always checking on you, are they making up for lost time? I don't understand cause my cancer, my hair lost, and having one breast remove does not change me as a person. I wonder after I have my breast remove how many others won't have any thing to do with me. Its OK if no one wants any thing to do with me I'm find with it. But don't judge me by my cover you didn't before or did you! This has been on my mind alot here lately. Does it hurt me, no, it just disappoints me in how the ones that was close to you are not any more. So who are your real friends and who is your real family?

Dr. Results

Visted with Dr. OOmmen today had lab work and port flush. Good ole doc said that the tumor seems to be shrinking more not alot but a little. He was telling me that if the margins are positive then I will have to do chemo with hormone threphy. The chemo will be in a pill form. He did say that if that happens then it is going to be rough for me. So lets hope that the margins are negative. Go back to see him Jan. 3. Next week will be vist with Dr. Chow.

After appointment went to go to eat with my La Sha and then went to mall and pick up a few things. No crowd that was nice. Then we went to Wal mart and back home.

Life is nice!

Need a Life!

I am bored out of my mind. Nothing to do before work I was reading but can't read any more grand kids want let me. Off work tomorrow and nothing to do again. I really need a life. I guess I could finish my story on my cancer. Whats a woman to do?

Monday Night!

Went to go meet with a special friend Monday night and had such a wonderful time. Could not have ask for a better time. Went to go eat dinner and hung out togeather. It was great!

Wonderful Weekend!

Saturday my sister came over and we went to go eat then she went and bought me a beautiful necklace. Then we went to Grandbury and walk around town and went into some of the stores. It was nice hanging out with my sister it has been so long since we hang out and talk it was great.
Saturday night went to go spend the night over at my daughter house and hung out with Peyton.

It was wonderful hanging out with him. Well have to do it again. Have not had such a wonderful weekend in such a long time.

Weekend!

I got this weekend off and so excited about it. Its Saturday and suppose to go hang with my sister. She was suppose to call yesterday to set up time but have not heard from her. But it is still early so maybe she will call. If she don't then I will be bored out of my mind.

You all have a wonderful weekend!

Smile

Did You!

Did you every have days were you are down and don't really no why? And that there are so many disappointments in that one day. And you try to bring yourself out of it and its not working. And did you every want something so bad but you know you can't have it? So why do we want it? Why do we want what we can't have.

Yesterday I went for a motorcycle ride and it was great a little cold but it was great. I am always up for a ride. It was nice to get out of the house and being with a riding buddy.

It is Sunday and no telling what today my bring. One can only guess!

New Doctor results

Went to the doctor on Nov. 10th. Dr. Chow said that the tumor has gotten a lot smaller. She said she could probley do the surgery now. But she would like to give the hormone med that I am on another month to see if it will get even smaller that way there would be even more skin to close up with. After surgery still going to be radiation no matter what. She was very happy with the size of the tumor. So we may be looking at surgery next month or in Jan. Its all good. I go back to Dr. Chow on Dec. 9th to talk more about surgery.

Part 4

After I seen Dr Chow on the 4th. It was the following week I had appointment for a Bone Scan on the 11th of Aug. And had appointment with a Dr. Bayouth on the 12th of Aug. to talk about putting in a port. And then on the 16th of Aug. had appointment for a CT Scan. They really hit me hard with all those appointments at once. Needless to say my work was not happy about it. But what can you say it was beyond my control. Sure I could have reschedule them all and give them a 10 days request off. But didn't want to why should when you have cancer you want to get it taken care of and get things rolling why wait.

On Aug. the 18th had appointment with the Oncologist Dr Oommen. La Sha and Jonathan went with me to that appointment. This is what he had to say after he examine me. My breast is 90% cancer. We would first try chemo. My chemo was set up to be done every other week. The day after chemo I go back and get a shot. The shot was to bring back up my blood cells to keep from getting any infections. The following week after chemo I had lab done. It seem like it was something every week. He also explain that the chemo was to get the tumor smaller before surgery. Just for the fact that the tumor was so big that if they remove it now there would not be enough skin to close up the incision. When I go back to see him on chemo day he would measure tumor. If the chemo was not doing its job then we have a back up plan Hormone Therapy. He wanted to get aggressive with the cancer first by using chemo.

Stay tune for my first chemo treatment.

Dr. Results

Went to the doctor today since I have been on hormone threphy. It measure it and it went from 13 cm to 12 cm. So the new treament is working. He said it has gotten smaller and not so hard. So that is a good thing. To me it is the same size but it measure smaller. The lymph nodes have gotten smallar also. I can tell that they have gotten smaller. They are hard to find. I go to Dr Chow on 11/10 that morning and go back to Dr OOmmen on 11/10 at 1pm. So by the time I go back to see him and her it should be even smaller.

Great News!

Part 3

So waited from July 2nd to the 8th to find out if it was cancer. To me that was a long wait. Just for the fact that it was a holiday weekend which delay things. I started calling back that following Tuesday. The results were not in yet. Then call again on Thursday and they told me that they should have already been in so the nurse call the lab. The lab told her that it would be Friday for sure when they are in. Call early Friday morning and got the results. They told me that the left breast was benign and that the right one was as they thought cancer. I ask about the lymph nodes and she said they were involved. I was surprise but not to surprise since I suspected any way. I ask her what they stage was and she inform me they didn't know until surgery. I ask her what kind it was and she told me Infiltrating/Invasive Lobular. I ask about the growth and she said my was a 2 which meant moderate, not to bad. First thing I did was call Moncrief and left them know that it was cancer. They told me to call The Tarrant County Health Department. I call them and they set me up appointment to come in and apply for Medicaid. Now in the mean time I still have not heard from JPS to see if it got their discount program. I went in on the 13th of July to apply for medicaid. They said they were going to do a fast track Medicaid. That is were it will only take 2 weeks to find out if I approve instead of the 40 days it usually takes. I was told to call them about on July 24th even if I don't here any thing about it. Then guess what I got a letting in the mail that I got JPS. But didn't get the discount program. I only got their regular program. I would still have to paid a co-pay. Don't get me wrong that's not bad at all. But I would have to pay 20 percent of any hospital bill or any kind of treatment. Can't do that I don't make enough money today specially if it comes to surgery. So I waited to see if I got medicaid. On July 22th I letter in the mail saying I got medicaid. I was so happy and relief. I call JPS and drop the program. I had to go to the nearest Tarrant County Health Department and pick up a temp medicaid card. Take it back up to the main office and show them I had medicaid so that the mammogram and biopsy would be paid for. It was on July 29th that I got my July medicaid in the mail. I call Moncrief again and told them I got medicaid. The next step they said for to find a breast surgeon. They gave me a list of several names on the phone. I pick one out and call. I pick out Dr. Chow and they schedule me appointment for August 4th. This is were it all begins.

August 4th. La Sha and my sister Shelly went with me to this appointment. They call me back first did vital signs and ask alot of questions. Then Dr Chow came in and talk with me and ask question then she examine me. When she was done she said she would meet me in the conference room. I went to go get La Sha and Shelly we went in there and Dr. Chow explain everything. She got a piece a paper and as she was talking she was drawing on the paper and writing everything down. She told me what the goals were. The were to 1. local control and then 2. system control. Which means to do medical chem and that means to do chemo. Then we would do surgery and then radiation. I will do 4 months of chemo every other week. Then I will do Surgery and then 6 weeks of radiation every day. Dr Chow told me I was not candidate for Breast Conservation Surgery. I would have to have Modified Radical Mastectomy. La Sha ask her about the left breast. She said it would not be unreasonable to remove it also. Just for the fact that I have had problems with it also. She said that they would set me up to have a Bone scan and Pet scan and set me up with a Oncologist.

Still tune for Part 4

Therefore, I choose for today:

Peace and not anxiety,
Good and not evil,
Love and not hate,
Gain and not loss.

When today becomes tomorrow, this day will be gone forever, leaving it its place what I choose today. I, alone, can choose to use today wisely-

Cancer Can't Rob Me Of This Day!

Part 2

So I still have not heard any thing. I have a client that i care for at work and i was telling his mate what was going on. The next day when i went to work she told me that she stay up until 2am looking up all kinds of info and phone numbers on breast cancer. I belive that she is my angle. So Monday I started calling Moncreif Breast Center and left several message and kept calling every day until I got a hold of someone.

It was July 1 they call me back and i had appointment that afternoon for breast examine. After the exmaine they set me up appointment on the 2nd for a mamogram. La Sha and I went to the mamogram and sonagram that morning. During my sonagram the tech had call back the doctor. And as he was looking at the screen i was watching his face. His expresion was not a good one. He seem very concern. He sat me up and said this looks like the start of breast cancer. He i can't be for sure without a biophsy. He look at the tech and said lets jump on this and work her in for the biophsy this afternoon. He said my breast tissues are really dens and he needed to do the bio to be sure. The tech schedule me to come back at 1:30 to have 3 biophsy done.

Went back for the bio they did one on the right side and one on the left and one under my arm where the lymp node were. I ask how they did it. Explain they would deaded the area. Then insert this needle and as they are watching on the screen they will hit the part of tissue they wanted to cut. Once he was in there all i felt was him pushing and it was a hard push but didn't hurt. Then he said ok fixing to cut. He counted to 3 and then click like pulling a trigger and then he took the needle out and put the tissure in a speciman jar. After that he said he is going to put in a marking, like a clip just to mark the spot that he took. He did that to both breast. Then he took a needle and took so fluid from my lymp nodes. I ask him about the clips if they would come out and he said not unless they would do surgury. He said the left one probley would alwasy stay in cause more then likly it was ok. Then he said "the right one life I said before I really think it is cancer and if it comes back ok am going to insit that they do surgury to get more tissue out". After he was done he said I will call Moncreif and have them set you up with a breast surgeon. Thats how for sure it was cancer.

What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is limited...

It can't cripple LOVE
It cannot shatter HOPE
It cannot corrode FAITH
It cannot destroy PEACE
It cannot kill FRIENDSHIP
It cannot suppress MEMORIES
It cannot silence COURAGE
It cannot invade THE SOUL
It cannot conquer THE SPIRIT
It cannot steal ETERNAL LIFE

My Story!

This is the beginning of my story.
In April of 2010 I noticed a lump or knot, I call it a knot. In my right breast behind my nipple, off to the left side. I remember thinking that it was strange since it wasn't there before, but I have a lot of cyst so I figure it was just because I was having my monthly period. So just didn't give it too much concern, it will go away when I finish my period. Didn't give it no mind for the rest of the month.

May rolled around and it's that time again and the you know what was still there. Hard and a little bigger. I told my youngest daughter about it and she came to look at it. I ask her to feel of it and she said no I can see it. She told me I need to have it checked out. I told her I couldn't since I didn't have any insurance. Later on that month I was changing for bed one night and I noticed that the breast was taking a different shape. It looked like it was caving in under the Areola I thought that was strange. I text my youngest daughter and told her my breast was caving in. She said I got to come see this. She came down stairs and I showed her. She said "Mom you really need to have that checked out." By this time it has gotten harder and bigger. The nipple was really sticking out and the knot was really noticeable. Went to go visit my oldest daughter and showed her. She suggested that I wait and see if the knot is still there come June's month cycle.

Come June it was still there. So I knew it was not right and it should not be there and it was not going away. So what can I do? I had no insurance. I decided to apply for JPS Connection. I printed the application on line filled it out and gathered all the info i needed to fax it in. I waited, waited and waited never heard from them. I finally called and talked to the social worker that was handling my case and she said she needed a bank statement. That's hard to send when you don't have one. I went on line and look at my Ace statement and printed it out and faxed it in. Still heard nothing.

Continued at a later time stay tune for more!

IT IS NATIONAL BREAST MONTH

Stay tune as I tell my story coming up next week From the first time I found lump to present. I hope you all will read and understand the diesease.

Chemo Day!

Well yesterday on 9/29 was chemo day. Went in and got my blood drawn and then went back to see the doc. My lab work was ok. Dr Oommen came in and he ask me about the size of the tumor. I told him I thought that it is gotten harder and bigger and that it was draining. So he felt of it and said that it has gotten harder and then he measure it and it was still 13 cm. Not any smaller and the softness went back to being hard. He went to go call Dr. Chow and talk with her. Then he came back and they decided to stop chemo since the tumor is not responding to it. So now we will try hormone threphy. I will be taken the drug probley for the next 5 to 10 yrs. The tumor should respond to it and make it smaller. I will return in 3 weeks to see him and then in 6 weeks to Dr. Chow. The only thing with the hormone threphy it will take longer to see and diffrents. The side of effect will be about the same but not as bad. But no hair lose I know what you are saying did I loose my hair for nothing. It will grow back it really was not for nothing cause I will have a whole new head of hair. The hot flashes will be worse oh boy can hardy wait. So I guess it me going back to shaving my legs and under my arms once it starts growning. They are still staying on the same time line. They still plan on doing surgury in Jan.

I have God's word that it is all going to be good.

I thank you all that reads my blog! Stay tune cause has this goes on this fight there will be more to read.

Went to Burleson that day and pick up my check and came home to lay down for a little bit then went back up to Texas Onco. and got fluids and didn't feel to good the whole time I was up there but after I was done went home to lay down again for a little bit and when I got up felt better. Went over to La Sha to have a sleep over with Peyton and he had a list of to do things for me and him to do it was cute. He even had a box out beside them to check them off as we did them. Got up Sat. and went to work and all day felt a little more tired then normal. But It is Sunday and I am off work and so happy that I don't have to work. I get to go to church today I'm very excited about that. Have not been in such a long time. Well been up since well really since 1am. Woke up and had trouble going back to sleep.

So we both got up and I fix us breakfast and then he got sick. I ask him what he ate last night and guess what he had.

Another Sleepless Night In White Settlement!

I finish taking all my meds so I hope that this is the last night that I don't get any sleep. It pretty much sucks. I am so tired and worn out. I even took the meds really early but here it is 1:45 a.m and up doing nothing. Can't clean or move stuff around everyone is home and don't want to wake the boys up. The day went pretty good I guess didn't get any sleep we to a cook out and seen all the kids there that was nice. But so much drama and then when I get home there is just more drama. La Sha give me a real nice old desk but I think it is more like a vanita. I love it I got to make room for it in my room so nothing happens to it. It reminds me of my moms vanita she use to have. I think I can make it work in my room i measure it and it should be ok. My room might be crowed but that is ok I can still move around and get into my dresser and closet I am good. Well not sure what today now guess I will try to go back to bed or maybe read I don't know. Any way see you all soon.

Good sleeping!

Here we go again!

Its 1 a.m. and still awake. I think it dong on me yesterday that it was the meds. they doctor put me on after I dehydrated to give me energy. Well I think I have a little to much energy now. Saturday night and early Sunday night got no rest at all. Sleep maybe from 3:30 a.m to 5:30 a.m. Did some cleaning and then would try to go back to bed. Up withing 30 mins. doing some more cleaning all night. And it just hit me last night. So here it is Monday morning and up again. I told Shreai that I was not going to be up cleaning all night again. Lay in bed until 1:am and said here I go again. But I am not cleaning was thinking about hanging pictures since I have been here almost a year and not pictures are on the wall. Sunday morning my son call to check on me and ask how i was doing. He ask about my hair told him it was good. He told me he was going to go get his cut. He later sent me a text pic of his hair cut shorter then normal and said "For you mom I love you" It was so sweet and made me feel so good. I am not wired but let me tell you am so wide awake. I have one more day of these meds to take and then maybe I can sleep. Its not really borther me that i can't sleep but thats what I am suppose to be doing and thats what I want to do. I cry last night cause i could not sleep don't know why I guess cause that is what a person does at night. And not the least bet tired. I know I have a long road ahead of me but I sure hope that I don't have many nights like this. Well guess I better get off here and start hanging pictures I might even clean the recliner i'm sure i will find plenty to do.

See you all soon!

Its Late!

Well here it is 3am on I don't know what day it really is. But here I am I can't sleep. Been up since 1:30am. Got me some candy to eat and water to drink. Mop the living room floor. Started some laundry not sure why. Watch a little TV. Nothing really on this early in the morning. I should be in bed sleeping since I have to work tomorrow.

The latest on me. I guess i told you all that I have cancer. Went thru alot of test. Like bone scan,ct,pet scan had a echo done. They all turn out really good. So we know that it has not spread thru the rest of my body good thing. Well went for my chemo on 8/31. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. They hook me up to some fluids. Then hook me up with some nausa meds. Then started me on one of the chemo drugs which they had to push thru with a sringe it turn my urine red not to be alarm it went away. After finish with that one they hook me up with another does of chemo drug that one was a drip thru the IV into my port. Being I had my port put in on 8/27 let me tell you that when they stuck that neddle in oh my gosh did it hurt since it was still fresh. Candice took me to my first chemo round. It was kind of fun she did my toes leopard paints I will have to get some one to take a picture and post it up here she did a really good job. I had my lunch not really knowing what to expect I went ahead and ate wanted to have some thing on my stomach. La Sha show up and it was a nice surprise to see her there. I guess I got done by 2:30pm started to feel tired. Candice took me home and I lay down for a little bit. Got the boys ready for bed and down for the night. Was not to long before I started to feel a little sick not to bad. Had Shreai bring me a wet rag but I made it thru the night.

I will resume this at a later time I think I am getting sleepy now.

Moving Right Along

Well another day off alot has been going on in my life. I recently found out that I have cancer. Went of a biopsy on July 2 had a mamogram and sonagram done. Then went back that afternoon and had 3 biopsy done. July 8 test came back it was breast cancer in the right breast and lymph nodes were involved. One of my clients got the ball rolling as far as getting to doctor and getting things started. Moncrief Cancer Center sent me for all the test and told me what I need to do as far as getting on medcaid. Got on medcaid got set up Cancer Care Service. Got several names of breast surgoen. I pick Dr. Chow went to see her on Aug. 4. she check me over then La Sha and my sister Shelly and I went into a conferance room and she went over every thing with us. It was a lot to take in. Well have things to do I will get back with the details and her finds and goals and treatment plan for me. Stay tune for more.

Love,
Rhonda

Another Day Off

Well here we go again another Friday off. But not sure if it is really a day off. None of my days off seem like days off. Its either doctor appointment or running errands. Any way I have had a large speed bump in my life that has slow me down. But I will not let it slow me down. But I do think that it is trying to get me to slow down. Maybe thats what it is all about is to slow down. I have always live in the fast lane. I think it is time to slow down and enjoy some things. I will explain the speed bump in my life at another time. My page is being work on by my beautiful daughter La Sha and she is doing such a good job.

Well today will be me going to pick up my check and taking Ms Layla with me and then coming home to get ready to go to La Sha and watch Peyton and spend the night with him. Well I will see you all next time so its not good bye its later!

Am Back!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello to all!

Am back on blogging. Been such a long time but figure I would get back to blogging. Alot has been going on since I have been away. I hope everyone is doing good. Not sure how often I will get to blog since I work so much work around 60 hrs a week it was 72 but they drop it down to 60. Still alot of hrs but I am all right with it. As I take this journey in my life I figure I will blogg it and see how it turns out am not good as La Sha when it comes to writing things. Well have a long day at work so I will get off here and start getting ready. I get to go to my football player house today and watch him Mr Looney. See you all soon!

Great Day In The Morning

Well here I sit again doing nothing. Still no job but steady looking. But life is good and there is one out there for me. I have a lot of help from La Sha working on my resume and helping with things that I don't have money for. Then there is a couple at church that has my resume and working the network for me. Got my resume out on Job.com, Hotjobs.com, and Workingintexas.com. Its not easy but there is something out there. It gets pretty boring setting around here but don't even have gas right now to go look anywhere. I am reading when it gets to much sitting around here. How does one sit around and do nothing I don't think I could every be retired. Well guess I better get off here and do nothing. I will keep you all updated on job search.

Lots of love!
