Don't be a baby

I grew up in the house of testosterone !  3 older brothers and all of their friends.   I was the baby and the only female.

My brothers would always tell me - "Come on, dont be a big baby"  !  
This was said to ensure my silence so I would not run screaming to my parents about what ever they were involved in !  Oh the stories I could tell...I really should write a book or blog about it.

This was a catch phrase for me during treatment....it pushed me on.  If I felt any fear I would mentally tell myself - don't be a baby.  It served me well...I guess growing up around males made me tough and helped prepare me for this cancer battle.

I was supposed to start my new meds today...
I decide to start them on Saturday so I could be home if I had any strange side effects.
I dread taking them but they are supposed to help keep me cancer free and I will take them for ten years.

I gues I need to stop being a baby about it and suck it up !
