Two days to Chemo…the final countdown….

Well – here it is…two days away from something I dreaded since January 22 and prayed that I wouldn’t have to face!!  Chemotherapy….ugh!

Luckily, I have such amazing people in my life that have been through it (Jillian, Jenn and Janet, my angels)!  It’s the scariest thing though, I have to say.  It’s that typical unknown.  As I sit here wanting to go out and do 1 million things that I know I may not be able to do in the next months until chemo is over….I can’t help but try to plan for the next three months of my life.  Packing a chemo bag to have with me – contents including…ginger gum, a photo book with happy pictures of great times in my life; my ipad for music (what?  I happen to love listening to Pandora’s Pitch Perfect Radio…lol and then of course switching to Metallica radio for obvious reasons)….headphones so I don’t annoy the others in the infusion room with said music….my blankets from my Aunt Rose in Maui and my cousin Michele (the super grover blanket everyone wants) and snacks.  Just in case I get hungry?  Can’t imagine getting hungry…but it’s possible!

Let me send a shot out in the midst of this post…to Mr. John Deighan.  The reason he gets this shot out is because even before my cancer diagnosis..this man has been such a positive influence with my diet because he eats things you just wouldn’t expect anyone to consume normally (except the time he tried to kill me by giving me a cherry that I had an allergic reaction from LOL!)….and to this day, he is still giving me all the advice I need on what to eat and exactly where to get it….not to mention all the gifts over the past months of fabulous, healthy foods.  THANK YOU JCD.  Your positive energy and knowledge rocks…..

So – I will be updating this as often as I can…probably tomorrow night in the midst of getting my brain prepared for Thursday.  My husband is taking me out….tomorrow night…dinner and country line dancing!  HEYYYY!  We are going to have a blast!  I can’t wait!  One last hurrah until I can party like a rock star again.   Love and light…..today and always, my friends!!!!
