The Original Intent Of This Blog

April 2006 - It seems vain to create a blog about me however, I realize that it is the most efficient way to provide accurate information about the status of my treatment and recovery so here I go .....

May 2009 - The cancer has returned, here I go again ...

December 2009 - I've finished chemo and am cancer free; I continue to receive Herceptin and the trial drug.

Infusion # 4 Days 1 - 2

Well so far this infusion has been very easy. It is the only time I have not thrown up following an infusion - what a nice parting gift. Another nice gift would be if this final blast of A + C does not completely do away with my eyebrows and eyelashes. They started thinning following the third infusion and I seem to daily lose more. April assures me that she will teach me to pencil in my eyebrows and take me to get good false eyelashes if I do in fact lose them; that may be too foo-foo for me, maybe I will just keep the brim of my hats pulled down.

My arm is beginning to swell this afternoon and I have a feeling that I will once again be feeling like a giant salt block. Oh well ... been there, handled that, can do it again.

I have started a second blog, you can access it through the link section on the side bar "With Love, From Jan" or at www.cookingwithjrenays.blogspot.com

This blog is a collection of family stories, and new and old recipes. Additionally, in some manner it is also a tribute to my mother who taught me that cooking is a gift of love to your family and friends.

I will write more in a few days.
