My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

I hope this blog serves as a message board -that early detection is the hope for your future. Pull up your big girl panties - and get your girls checked out. Make an appointment today-(you know who you are).

I also want to document my "Journey on the Pink Brick Road" - because I don't want to forget a minute of it (I think) and I have heard from others that "Chemo Brain" or "Monkey Brain" is the result of the medication that is used to shrink my tumor. I have seen this already - so it will help me to remember where I parked my car yesterday and why was I even parking "there".

So hold my hand and I will hold yours on my journey on the Pink Brick Road (this definitely doesn't look like Kansas)!

Biopsy Day

I've been on Femara for two weeks now, and so they want a biopsy today to see that my tumor is responding to this medication.  I won't have the results for two weeks...the day before we all head to LA for Mike and Lisa's wedding.   I had a biopsy on September 14th - so I know what to expect.  I love "numbing" juice - don't hold back Doc....My dear friend ReRe is taking me to Siteman, as John does his duty and gets a colonoscopy this
morning - we are not letting anything sneak up on us now. I am proud of him for taking charge of his health.
All will be well...
Mary
