My BlogSong: Medical Reports and A Cute Little Boy

http://ramblingsofanoldlady.blogspot.com/2012/03/medical-reports-and-cute-little-boy.html

Thursday, March 08, 2012. Medical Reports and A Cute Little Boy. First, I'll get the latest report from CancerVille (Zynga's newest game? Out of the way. Went to the Oncologist Tuesday.at the unholy hour of 7:30 AM! I am so amazed (though I probably shouldn't be) at how much things have changed since I last had cancer, 20 years ago! And if it's high, of course, we go the chemo route. Also, my cancer is hormone dependent, as was the other. When I was being treated 20 years ago,. I have to say that I feel.

My BlogSong: Past due...just like a library book!

http://ramblingsofanoldlady.blogspot.com/2012/04/past-duejust-like-library-book.html

Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Past due.just like a library book! Well, I should have written some of this a while ago. But you know what a procrastinator I am! Soon the cancer front. But I dealt with it. It was uncomfortable and awkward, but I had little pain, so it was okay. (Some really interesting stuff came out of there, but I don't want to make anyone gag before they read the whole thing! Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers and encouraging words you sent my way. They help so much! I was going to call...

My BlogSong: Breasts Behaving Badly

http://ramblingsofanoldlady.blogspot.com/2012/02/breasts-behaving-badly.html

Tuesday, February 07, 2012. In March of 1991, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Last month, I was diagnosed with breast cancer once again. 21 years later.here we go again. When I first found out that my mammogram was wonky, the surgeon said that 80% of these types of tumors are NOT malignant. So I sort of felt kicked in the gut when I found out that mine WAS malignant, not to mention the fact that she got in there and there were 3 tumors instead of just one! The MRI will tell us if I need a mastectomy&...

My BlogSong: Next step...

http://ramblingsofanoldlady.blogspot.com/2012/02/since-my-recent-diagnosis-today-is-3rd.html

Saturday, February 18, 2012. Since my recent diagnosis, today is the 3rd day in a row I woke up well-rested and without my waking thought being, "Shit! The next step is an MRI, so I've been "trying on " machines. They are built for people who aren't overweight, so it was recommended that look around to find one where I'll be comfortable. However, upon looking at the first one, I remembered I won't be comfortable even if it's the Lincoln Tunnel of MRI machines! And I'm refusing to tap into savings! We wer...

My BlogSong: Not the day I thought it would be....

http://ramblingsofanoldlady.blogspot.com/2012/05/not-day-i-thought-it-would-be.html

Wednesday, May 02, 2012. Not the day I thought it would be. I know that cancer isn't easy.it's not supposed to be. It's ugly and mean and unfair. But I just wish it were a little more definite! Throughout this whole ordeal, nothing about my cancer has been definite! First we thought we were just removing simple calcification, and then it turned into an invasive cancer. Then we removed lymph nodes, but they disappeared! Now we've done a genetic test and it comes back iffy! Side effects of Cytoxan. Now I h...

My BlogSong: Things are looking up...

http://ramblingsofanoldlady.blogspot.com/2012/03/things-are-looking-up.html

Saturday, March 03, 2012. Things are looking up. My surgeon called today. Yes, on a Saturday afternoon! She could have waited till Monday and had her assistant call, but she didn't. She called me today to tell me my MRI was.are you ready? Some good news in this situation. She still wants to get some more breast tissue, since one of the cancers had a close margin. (The cancer cells are close to the edge of the tissue, but not right at the edge.) Also, she'll do a. So happy for your good news, Linda! Has r...

My BlogSong: A Book Recommendation

http://ramblingsofanoldlady.blogspot.com/2012/01/book-recommendation.html

Thursday, January 19, 2012. You know(or maybe you don't) that I am so excited about the movie, John Carter. Coming out in March. If you are a true sci- fi. Geek, Star Wars lover, Ring enthusiast.or just curious.you really need to read A Princess of Mars. If you have a Nook. John Carter is a confederate soldier. Mr. Bolen. Reads in a mild Southern accent, adding a bit of authenticity to the narration. It is so hard to believe that it is 100 years old! It is part of the Barsoom. The Warlord of Mars. By its...
