Not Again!

          I've just finished my 8th session of radiation.  Gotta thank my sissy for bringing me.  On to another appointment.  I sit here in a waiting room but this time it's for my sister. She had a mammogram 10 days ago and recieved a letter stating there was an area of concern and asked her to come back for a repeat mammo and ultrasound (same place where I had my mammo & US AND where I found out I had breast cancer.)
          So, now I sit here with my sissy in front of me in a gown.  I never thought in a million years that she would be the one in a gown.  I'm sure it's just fatty tissue as usual.  She's had it before and I hope and pray that that's what it is again. Just waiting for the doctor to take a look at the ultrasound. They probably will need a biopsy to make sure it's just fatty tissue.  It has to be.  Dear Lord please....I beg you.... let it be fatty tissue.
         She's always been my rock, my protector. I'm going to sound selfish right now and I don't care but I need her to be healthy to help take care of me, to make sure my son is being looked after, to make sure my papers/bills are in order,  appointments made and kept, meds filled and up to date. I know she's not my "mommy" but that's what big sisters are for.  Also, I don't wish what I have on anyone. Not even my worst enemy. 
          They just spoke with her, they said she has cyst in both breast but nothing of concern and that she needs to return in 6 months for repeat mammo. Thank you Lord! Such a relief for her! A relief for me and mom, her kids and the family.

I don't want chemo I NEED chemo

I NEVER POSTED THIS IN JANUARY 2018 So basically, with my new insurance I needed a prior authorization to get my bone strengthener infusion and my chemo pills. I got the prior authorization however I have to pay 4 thousand for one of my chemo pills and 5 thousand for the second one. Esther in the pharmacy called me with this news. She said she was able to get me a grant but it only covers the first medication and not the other. She didn't want to fill the one by itself because I take both medications together as they work better together. I told her I couldn't pay for the second. She said she would ask someone in the patient services department for help finding another grant. Gracie from patient services called me back a few hours later, 4 o'clock this past Friday. She said she couldn't find anything that I qualify for. Mostly because I'm working (part time 15hrs a week) so I'm making to much money. I was so angry because if I was at home not working I woul

CT Results

Well, it's not the news I wanted to hear. My cancer is no longer "stable" It has progressed in my lung and lymphnodes. My run with perjeta, herceptin and taxotere has come to an end. My oncologist is trying to get Tykerb and Xeloda approved by my insurance. Once approved I will no longer take my original medication through my mediport every 3 weeks but rather my new medication In pill form two weeks on and one week off. I'm worried how my body will react to stopping the medication I've been on for just over a year and starting something completely new. Will it be a shock to my body? I'm worried of the side effects of the new medications. Especially the sores in my mouth and the hand and foot syndrome which causes my palms and bottom of my feet to dry up and crack and bleed making it difficult to walk. Of course the usual side effects of diarrhea, vomiting and fatigue are attached to these drugs. I'll face any and all issues as I'm faced with them. I g

Aches, withdrawal & depression, Merry Christmas to me

Image
I've been in bed since Saturday night with a bad stomach bug. I missed Christmas and this makes me so sad. I heard the happy jolly festivities comencing in the rest of the house as I lay moaning and groaning in a bundle in the corner room trying to sleep it off on Christmas Eve. I heard the door creak open and I half awoke from a nap. I didn't realize my son was sitting on the edge of the bed by my side in the dark. The creak from the door opening was my mother checking in on me. I heard her step in and speak to my son. She said, "no, mijo don't cry, your mommas going to be ok" I was half asleep but I still felt that tinge in my heart as it ached for him as I hate making him sad. I drifted back to sleep as he layed down next to me. Although I was asleep I was a happy momma he was laying by my side. I heard my brothers check in on me as they whispered Merry Christmas to me each at separate times. My sister came in and offered to take me to the ER as she heard me
