March chemo adventures

Hello People, Today was a routine chemo day for me. Week two of my three week round of treatments. I only have the Taxol on week two. It doesn't leave me feeling as beat down as the Taxol/Avastan weeks do. What kind of chemo are you taking? How does it leave you feeling? My body aches, and my fatigue is deep and I feel as though my limbs are moving through concrete. Movement takes a lot of effort. I'm trying to follow a bit of advice that was said on a video done by Bunny at Here is what she said, "I try to never be sitting down. If I keep myself constantly busy, then I don't need to worry about working out to lose weight. I take the stairs instead of the elevator, park far out in the parking lot instead of parking close. I look for opportunities to do things" So, following her advice, I am trying to just be in movement more. Of course I've begun working in retail, and I am constantly on my feet there, plus I am taking Sadie for a lot more walks and to the dog park to run more often. That is how I am working on moving more in an effort to jump start the endorphines and feel less like I am moving through concrete. I'll let you know how it works for me.

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 …
