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)!

Release in Progress (Hair falling out)

Like clockwork.......saw a few low hanging hairs and gentle escorted them to the trash.  John decided he was curious and gentle touched a few non-hangers and they too got escorted to the trash....Called Dan.....he is a daily head shaver...woke the poor sick baby up.  He would be happy to shave my head - I would like it done before me and Meredith go for our hair cut so they can truly fit me in my "cranial prosthesis" - This terminology gets the insurance company to pay for it.  The fact that I will be drop dead gorgeous is just one of those perks of this journey! .......A song is ringing  in my soon to be bald head from the Jersey Boys....."Oh What a Day (really Night in the song)....late December back in '63".

I know I can do this........just need to get a new lipstick~!
Love to all,
Mary
