Getting settled in Colorado

Getting settled in Colorado hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be.  Finding a new oncologist wasn't as hard as I thought.  It was all the moving and unpacking that took it out of me.  You see, I expect myself to be able to do all the thing that I used to do.  But since cancer has taken over my life, I find that I fatigue faster and can accomplish less.  The problem with me really is that I don't want to let anyone down, so I try to do as much as I used to be able to do, and it is exhausting.  Anyway.... getting settled has been pretty good now that most of the unpacking is done.  I have found an oncologist and already have 2 treatments under my belt.  Starting chemo over after having almost a month off from it freaked my body out though.  I do really like the new oncologist.  I will call him Dr. R.  And he has a really professional staff of nurses.  The things he is telling me and the tweaks to my treatment have been very positive and encouraging.  My sweet hubby is also seeing Dr. R as a new leukemia patient.  Fortunately he is asymptomatic and isn't being treated right now.


Other than adjusting to the dry cold weather, I think I will be just fine here.  Isn't life just a series of adjustments anyway?

Micro blading when you have cancer.

Here is  what happened.   I lost my eyebrows to cancer treatment.  Over 6 plus years of multiple courses and  types of chemo's have prevented my brow hair from growing back.  Thanks to minoxydl, I have hair on my head and tho sparse, My lashes have returned.  I have told myself to be grateful for what I have.  Yet there has been this little part of me that feels less feminine without brows.  Less expressive, less myself.  Yes, I do draw them on, but that is such a ordeal.  I know, I know, First world problems, right.  Well, no brows is just  another insult to my scarred, breastless body.  I made a call a week ago to Chicago microblading, and spoke with a lovely woman named Tahm.  She asked what I needed this done, and I shared a bit of my cancer background and told her about being browless.  She shared the procedure process with me and then went over cost and care.  I told her  that with all the medical bills I just didn't think I could swing it now, but said If I were able to…

What do I think of bucket lists?

Well hello there my dear friends,
It has sure been a while since I have written a post, or filmed a Youtube video.  I believe the last time I uploaded was in May during a visit to the Chicago museum of art. That was one of the Most lovely times I have enjoyed with my whole family.  It was an amazing time, My daughter graduated from Uni. at Loyola in the morning, my son was here with his future wife visiting for the occasion.  So after the graduation we set forth and took on the city of Chicago, going to the Museum, walking in the park, enjoying the best food the city had to offer.  It was a blast.  An incredible memory and one of the few items I have on my bucket list.  Many people have ideas about travel or sky diving or even some thing simple like Disney.
Those have never been my bucket items.  From the  moment I found out I had  mets bc, I knew my bucket list would only have a few items.  Enduring ones non the less.
I wanted to see my daughter graduate from University.
I want to …
