    Personal Quote: This is the story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done & Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when Nobody did what Anybody could of done

    So today was a doozie..... the side efffects have started... was in treatment for about 5 hrs today.. IDK... had to increase the pain meds, and had to get some other stuff for nausea and stuff. boo....

    Lost a little more weight.. which i dont know how thats possible being as i ate like crazy yesterday... I had a weird craving for ox tails and jamacian rice so i ate that.... it was great.

    Trying to pack on the pounds with smoothies and shakes,, but not working to well.... weighed in today at 86lbs. NOT GOOD. I just hope these 2 recovery weeks i can put on lbs, regain strength, hang out and feel some what content.....

    I'm staying positive and doing what i can to be a comfy as possible. feel free to text or call or e-mail. All i do i sit around and eat a lil here and there and work on christmas gifts.. gosh im such a dork~! lol

    I love you all!! just a few more hours left of this icky chemo for about 2 weeks....... yay~!!!!!!

    So limited~!!!

    Wednesday, October 8, 2008, 11:27 PM EST [General]

    "Cancer is so limited.
    It cannot cripple love.
    It cannot shatter hope.
    It cannot destroy peace.
    It cannot kill friendship.
    It cannot suppress memories.
    It cannot silence courage.
    It cannot invade the soul.
    It cannot steal eternal life.
    It cannot conquer the spirit..."

     

    My thoughts.. right now.... all i want to do is scream.... as some may know my cancer is back... results from the PET scan... not what i wantedd to hear but just another hurdle the devil is trying to throw in my way.... He must have forgotten i ran track.. lol.. and had to run hurdles in heels b\c i left my running shoes one day.. lol

    I meet witht the chemo doc. on the 14th to see when im gonna get started... but im sooo ready.. this sitting around is killing me...... the fighter hates to just sit around.....  but im gaining the strenth i need to kick some ass~!!
