About Me

In a perfect world, I would have unlimited time with my husband (of 25 years!), my family and my friends—especially the ones who live TOO FAR away.

My dream is to live in my own little beach cottage and to never hear the word cancer again.

Kicking cancer's ass - day 148

  • What medicines am I taking?
  • Do I have any pain today?
  • Have I had any falls lately?
  • When was my last menstrual period?
  • Am I breastfeeding????????????

I am not kidding.

I know they see a lot of patients and she probably didn't know my history or look at my medical record to notice my (very) recent surgery, but this is a BREAST CANCER center.

I was proud of myself. When she asked that (she was facing the computer away from me) my eyes got big and I looked at Hubby and we made faces at each other. We had a good laugh after she left.
The old me probably would have cried.  Score one for me!
