Me during Herceptin treatment number 10 on July 15.
Finished Herceptin Number 10! Only 4 to go, and in 12 more weeks, I will be done, done, done. What a haul! I’ve seen more doctors than anyone should see in one lifetime! And I’ll tell you what! Once I’m well, I don’t plan on seeing any for a long, long, time!
Posting this picture of me today, has taken some guts for me to do… I remember seeing other people and kids who have gone through cancer and they looked so “poofy” and now I know why the *ell why!! Jiminy I cannot believe how different I look from a year ago! I have put on so much weight and I’m all bloated, dang, if I was just a little bit paler, you couldn’t tell the difference between me and the Pillsbury Dough Boy!
Me before cancer treatments, Sept. 07, 1 month before chemo.
I know that sounds harsh, but I just can’t get over how I look compared to one year ago… It dumbfounds me! I’m looking at these pictures and I’m like wondering what in the *ell happened?!? I’ll tell you what happened! Cancer treatments: chemotherapy, steroids, pain-killers, and blah,blah, blah. Boy do I have a battle to regain myself!
You can almost drive yourself crazy comparing then and now….
*Sigh*
Ever forward I go…
p.s. I have to get a PET (bone) scan in 2 weeks, member that back pain? Well we have to make sure it is just back pain, I am confident it is for I am sure it is just the pain in my body trying to find a way out so I can get back to my new “normal” self.
p.s.s. Update 7/16: this is the morning after Herceptin; I woke up feeling like I am running in quicksand, I’m so sluggish and achy, I am not going to miss Herceptin one bit 
p.s.s. Update again on 7/16: I am loony today, I think it is because I feel like I have the flu, I always do after Herceptin. Today it is making me sad; I am so tired of being in cancer treatments, I’m tired of being unhealthy, I’m tired of being so dang run down… I’m digging way down deep folks to find that inner strength and peace that I know is within me to go that extra mile…
