Life is good. The love of my life is my best friend. When I am not so well he cares for me. He has taken over a lot of the cooking through my umpteenth cold.) Actually, even when I'm well...my friend cares for me!
I will start taking this new hormone drug when my cold subsides. An attached list of side effects is a bit daunting. Weighing the risks. Which would you prefer? Another bout of breast cancer or a stroke? I tried to explain to the oncologist that I don't want to go through this program again. I still worry about the damaged heart with the herceptin. The list of potential side effects for any medication is daunting. So I'm going to Las Vegas in my mind(Wheel of Fortune). I'm gambling that this hormone will keep me cancer free, and I will not have a stroke.
Life is good. My friend is my living guardian angel. My friends, family, and coworkers continue to check in on my well being and that caring keeps "Pink Tough."
Do you think about how loved you are? Probably not. But start. Each of us is so important to so many and I believe we forget that in the haste of living.
Make Pink Tough and Expect Great Things

Dear Friend,
ReplyDeleteFortunately for you your life changed years ago and brought your best friend into your home and your heart. Life is ever changing and so unpredictable.
Who would have thought there were so many decisions to make along the process?
Sometimes your choices were limited. And sometimes you have to make some scary choices. But the ultimate answer to all of it is, life........to grow old with your best friend.....
You are both so lucky to have each other. Paul loves you deeply. It is difficult for him to watch you go through all of this. As for the hormone, I pray that you won't encounter any problems as is the case so many times with those long lists of possible drug side affects. Continue taking it day by day. Only 10 more school days until vacation, when you can get the rest you need. Get well and stay tough!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! I reread my post and it sounded exactly opposite as it was meant! I mean that those long lists of side effects are usually NOT a problem. They have to list everything that could even remotely happen. Hopefully your body will be tolerant. Again, stay tough!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful every day for you, Leah. You are the love of my life and my best friend and companion! We have never been on this pathway before. But we'll hold hands and each other's hearts, peek around ever corner and figure it out one hurdle, one day at a time, through this together. I love you...
