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)!

Ready for Radiation!

Don't worry I won't be radioactive - even though I will receive 30 daily treatments starting on March 13th.  John promised me if I am a good patient, we can take a celebration trip to the sunny south (somewhere) as soon as I am finished.  That is a good bribe and I will do my best.

I signed my consent for treatment today and then went in to get my cradle for my treatments -  My chest is all mapped out with colorful permanent pens and I got 4 tattoos so if the pens wear off - the tattoos will remain. They are very similar to Lisa Kudrow's tattoos on Friends - I believe they would look like a moon or a tiny star.  I may now become addicted to getting tats!  I'll keep you posted on that one - : )

Great days lie ahead.....I'm taking one step at a time.

Love,
Mary
