Pics from last chemo...




Here are the pics that we took during my last chemo. The first one was taken after my exam with Dr. B. and his nurse Diane. The second one was with the chemo nurse after I finished the last bag of Taxol. (Jamie & Annette, the pink scarf I am wearing is one that you sent to me, I got a lot of compliments on it!) The third pic is of my nightstand at home....I always just think it is crazy to see how many different drugs I take the weekend after chemo....I also wanted to show you one of my favorite x-mas gifts....The Breast Cancer Awareness Dammit Doll. Bret got her for me, she is kind of like a voodoo doll...here is what the card says that was attached to her. When you're feeling angry and you just need to vent. When your body is tired and your mind is spent. When you want to climb the wall, and stand right up and shout. There's a little Dammit Doll You cannot do without. Just grasp it firmly by the legs, and find a place to slam it. And as you whack the stuffing out yell "Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!" If dammit is not a word you say then twist its little neck and grumble out repeatedly "oh heck, oh heck, oh heck!"........



So far the weekend has gone okay...lots of sleep, just looking forward to getting this over with!!

Love the pictures!!! I've been waiting all weekend to see them. How awesome!!! Thanks for posting them.
Love the VooDoo doll....what a stress reliever!! Stick a couple of pins in her or just squeeze her..LOL
Hope you had a nice weekend. I worked all weekend and Alissa has been sick, so I didn't get to do much. I have a feeling we might be making a doctor visit to Dr. B's wife, she's the kids pediatrician.
Take care. Sending you lots of love & hugs!!!
