A few quotes and a prayer

Women agonize… over cancer; we take as a personal threat the lump in every friend’s breast.
-Martha Weinman Lear Heartsounds

The use of tamoxifen can prevent breast cancer in patients who have no evidence of breast cancer but are at high risk of getting it.
-Bernard Fisher

Someone told me my chemo symptoms sounded like a really bad hangover! Their suggestion that Gatorade was good for hangovers led to my drinking gallons of it, which helped steady that queasy shakiness.
-Jane Vaughan

****** this really works btw********

I remember when you couldn’t even say breast, let alone breast cancer. Women did not say those words. That has changed quite a bit.
-Fran Visco

Every woman needs to know the facts. And the fact is, when it comes to breast cancer, every woman is at risk.
-Debbie Wasserman Schultz

During chemo, you’re more tired than you’ve ever been. It’s like a cloud passing over the sun, and suddenly you’re out. You don’t know how you’ll answer the door when your groceries are delivered. But you also find that you’re stronger than you’ve ever been. You’re clear. Your mortality is at optimal distance, not up so close that it obscures everything else, but close enough to give you depth perception. Previously, it has taken you weeks, months, or years to discover the meaning of an experience. Now it’s instantaneous.
-Melissa Bank

I didn’t know anything about breast cancer when I got it.
-Rue McClanahan

I have to admit, like so many women, I always knew there was a chance. But like so many women, I never thought it would be me. I never thought I’d hear those devastating words: ‘You have breast cancer.’
-Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Well, right now, technically, I have no breast cancer.
-Lynn Redgrave


Praying for a co-worker of mine who is a 15 year survivor.....she had to go back in for an ultrsound today.  Waiting for news is hard !

We need a cure !!!!  Not a race with lots of pink ribbons and TShirts !

I had a pretty decent week - still have some fatigue and bone pain.  I am working full time and by the end of the week I am pretty darn tired.   I have a four day Mardi Gras weekend...so I am hoping to rest up and enjoy being with Allen and Gracie.    I am getting peach fuzz on my head (yeah hair) !!!   I gave up putting on mascara - I have NO eye lashes any more.   I am getting pretty good at drawing on my brows !   I could have used a Wool Willy for practice !
