Good vibes and trucks

Howdy peeps. Things are going really well. I am getting back into the swing of life and it feels great. I also bought a new car...well a truck. A Toyota Tacoma and I LOVE it. For those of you who don't know I have been borderline obsessed with the Tacoma since the age of 16. So I got my dream truck. Let's just say it makes me really happy and I love to drive it. If I see you, it will be the first thing I will mention and I will probably want to talk about it for about 20 minutes. Humor me people, I have wanted this for a REAL long time ;)

I have been back in the office, and although I was initially scared and nervous about it, it has been really great. It is so nice to see everyone at work and I am feeling more and more normal Rosie everyday.

I still have memory and retention issues so if I forget your birthday or forget about plans we had I am really sorry. I am trying to write everything down, so if you want to be proactive and remind me - well that will help!

I hope everyone is doing well and much love to you all.

-R

Chemo #3

I had my third chemo session today. My friend Claire went with me. It's nice to have someone there; I dare say a partner in crime. Plus, since I am hooked to a machine, I get to boss around my guest to get me coffee, snacks etc. Pretty sweet, I mean they have to get stuff for me. :) I feel better this week than last week. Every time I cross a new bridge with this deal (newest bridge = hair loss) I am forced onto the roller coaster again. I have a hard time when I am sad or upset. It is really frustrating, when I feel sad I think back to the week before when I felt good, when I was happy. I sit there and try to figure out how to get back to feeling good. The answer so far has been simple, time. Time to process what is going on. Time to process how I feel and time to figure out what I can do to make it better. Sometimes there is nothing I can do and somehow in those moments one of my friends sends a text, a card, a package or email to let me know they care. It really ma...

Shaved

I went ahead and shaved my head today. It has been falling out non-stop since Thursday. I traveled to Stafford today to pick up my wigs so I had Hazel go ahead and buzz cut my hair. She did leave enough at the top for a killer mohawk this weekend. I must say I was more upset this morning constantly throwing away chunks of hair than I am right now, rubbing my softly shaven head. Two new observations: 1. Everything is much colder 2. My head is much lighter

I made a choice.

So I have spent the past few weeks thinking.   Trying to nail down what is most important.  Trying to give myself some perspective.   So I have outlined my worst case scenarios.  Worst case scenario #1:  I don't have the surgery now and end up with cancer in the next few years.   Worst case scenario #2: I have the surgery now and a few years from now I am unhappy and upset that I never had my own biological children.   Worst case scenario #3: I have horrible menopausal symptoms for the next few years.   So. When I write them out.  I see something pretty clear.  #2 and #3 are temporary and there are options for me to work through.   #1 could equal death.  Which is pretty permanent.   So. I'm gonna do it.  That's how I feel right now.  I'm going to chose short term suffering to have a better long term life.   I am trying to read up on things I can do to mitigate menopause that ...
