    Anxious or scared

    I had a bilateral mastectomy, am taking tamoxifen, gabapentin, and alendronate, and will start radiation next week. I am tired of the scheduling, procedures, drugs, risks, learning curve, insomnia, side effects, and uncertainties. Yes, I know it could be worse. It's just been a long six months. I will muddle through.

  • Grateful

    I’m just exhausted to be honest. It has been a long year for me with a roller coaster of emotions. January 2024 I knew I have MBC and spent a couple of good moths so scared. Now I’m in remission so I’m grateful that the year is ending better than its beginning, but I’m tired to my bones!

    I am excited to be approaching 2025. My last chemo is on January 22nd and then I will have a lumpectomy not too long after that. While I have enjoyed the easiness of being bald, I am looking forward to having hair again. I've discovered your head gets really cold at night…lol. I sleep with one of my headcovers on and even pull it down over my eyes while I sleep. It's actually very comfortable. But these winter days. I have to wear my headcover more while inside right now and lots of beanies/winter caps while outside. 2024 has shown my how strong I am and I'm looking forward to 2025!
