Posts In Chronological Order. Monday, February 20, 2012. Seriously. This will be quick. Radiation is going fine. So far, so good. Thank God for Magic Skin Balm! I put it on every night before bed and wear a t-shirt to bed. My skin is darker but it is holding up. I have this week (4 more days), next week (5 days) and then my last day on Monday, March 5. Then I am DONE, baby! I'm feeling really good. I have a lot of energy. I even lost a couple of pounds. I cannot complain. Sunday, February 12, 2012. I did...

Jennifer's Blog: Recovering Nicely
http://junojen.blogspot.com/2012/05/recovering-nicely.html
Posts In Chronological Order. Saturday, May 5, 2012. No matter how it's done, a hysterectomy is major surgery. And while I chose the da Vinci robotic procedure which boasts minimal down time and pain, believe me when I say there is still plenty of down time and pain. I started to feel pretty good one week post op so I got online to work from home. Big mistake. I have also lost about 4 lbs. since my surgery. I think this is just simple bloat going away. Whatever it is, I will take it. Glad to hear you are...

Posts In Chronological Order. Monday, April 23, 2012. Next Up: Total Hysterectomy. Sorry for the delay in posting here on my blog. I have been very busy getting back to "normal." (More on that in a moment.). My doctor will be using the daVinci robotic device which is supposed to dramatically reduce post-surgical pain and make recovery just a bit faster. On YouTube - a complete hysterectomy by a San Francisco gynocologist all set to Bach's Orchestral Suite #3. I wish I hadn't seen this video. It's goi...

Posts In Chronological Order. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. First Mammogram After Treatment. I had to go back to my radiologist this week for a diagnostic mammogram because of a new lump I felt in my left breast. Under normal conditions, I would not have needed a mammogram for another six months. But who said I was normal? I remembered the fear and dread vividly and I could see it on every woman's face in that office. Seeing me with my short cropped "hairdo" didn't help alleviate their fears. But I ...My ne...

Jennifer's Blog: I Need to Pace Myself
http://junojen.blogspot.com/2012/05/i-need-to-pace-myself.html
Posts In Chronological Order. Tuesday, May 22, 2012. I Need to Pace Myself. Here I am - post-cancer treatments and post-surgery. I have my life back and I have hair. But there is one small problem. I need to pace myself. I really need to step back and keep reminding myself that small, consistent changes can lead to big results. I don't need to take on more than I can reasonably handle. And I don't need to do it all today. May 22, 2012 at 4:29 PM. May 22, 2012 at 9:55 PM. Thanks for this post to remind me...

http://junojen.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Posts In Chronological Order. Monday, January 30, 2012. I have gained just over 20 lbs. since my diagnosis. I thought most of that weight was due to water retention and bloating from chemo. My doctor and nurses all said the weight would come off a couple of months after I finish chemo. Well, it's been almost two months and guess what? They were wrong. I still weigh exactly what I did on December 7 when I went in for my last round of chemo. Now I am paying the price. An egg is 2 points. So what's my point?

Jennifer's Blog: Happy Easter Weekend
http://junojen.blogspot.com/2012/04/happy-easter-weekend.html
Posts In Chronological Order. Sunday, April 8, 2012. The weather here in Virginia is nothing short of spectacular this weekend. Bright blue skies, lots of sunshine, temperatures in the upper 60's. It is perfection. Summer flowers and new azaleas going into the back corner of our yard. 65279;. Enjoying the afternoon on the porch. 65279;. March 7, 2014 at 7:37 AM. The written piece is truly fruitful for me personally; continue posting these types of articles. Mango producers in Pakistan.
