My Story!

Deep in the Heart
I'm just some girl who was diagnosed with cancer at age 30, just seven months after getting married. I always had a flair for the dramatic.

Boobs and Besties WHAT WHAT!

I survived! Hook 'Em Horns!
My face doesn't look all roided up here...yes it does. I'm like Jose Cansecho in this muthafucka, straight up JUICED! In da face!

So my friend Angelique said I look smaller, so it must be true. HA! That's real friendship! Of course Robert said I look great, lol, but he's a guy friend who has learned when in doubt LIE LIE LIE. Remember when you called me big in college Ro? I KID I KID!

LOL, this reminds me of college..
and that drunken UFC/boxing
at Fox and Hound haha!
 Anyways, I have a bomb ass friend support system that is better than errybody elses. I sometimes wonder about some of the ladies and gentlemen that go through chemo and are there alone. Yes there's tv and shitty chemo candy and crackers, but above all what makes it go by faster is the conversation and shit talk that happens between friends. Real talk people, real talk. I mean my people are the BOMB! Angelique takes off work (like for realz, uses a day for little ol me lol) to hang out with me and my cold caps! Robert flew up just to be put to work and let me question him about his girlfriend that it sounds like I may like her! YAY! Love you man, next time fried bananas for you! She's the one Ro, put a ring on it and let's start planning =) Love you all so much, and the support from so many others foreign and domestic that have been there through the battle has truly been amazing.

So Taxotere, Herceptin, Perjeta, and now new to the party (late) is Carboplatin...it's suppose to have me feeling like some serious SHIT! Ha! Thank God for realness, like really! Also...she said symptoms tend to get worse. Hopefully not the big D, and I don't mean Dallas. I'm cautiously optimistic, but the twinge in my tummy says to get ready that I'm in for a helluva ride! I see you ride and I'm READY. I can't speak for Javi or the kids though. Well I can speak for Hunter, he's an Akita, always loyal, always ready to help take care of mom! Best dog ever. Hopefully Javi sleep takes care of me again! LOL
Bottoms up BITCHES! Mom tried to take
my wine...I've never been about that life!
(Javi is trying to drink all the wine before
 tomorrow,
sigh, no trust!)

2 infusions down, 4 more to go! I will feel better when it's 3 more, you know halfway just sounds better....it just seems like February is so far away! It's funny, and I was going ot plan a Spring Break getaway with Javi to Cancun or Riviera Maya as a YAY 1 year anniversary trip, but looks like that'll have to wait until a later date. Things change, shit happens.

Now on to my BOOBS! My right boob is happy, the lump according to awesome doctor Le has "faded into the blackness" as the rappers say and has seemed to have disappeared. She couldn't feel anything but maybe a slight calcification. Yup! THAT'S RIGHT! When she saw me the first time she told me she was going to go balls to the wall and hit me with everything. Well no she didn't say balls to the wall! She has an MD, they don't talk like that, they are not that DOWN for the cause lol. Anyways, she told me in order to aim for cure they need to hit me with 6 cycles and that one lone cell left in my body could fuck me up...AGAIN. Ain't nobody got time for that! Bre' cancer is no joke!  If I'm doing all this, let's just do it once, kick ass, take names, lose tits, get fake ones, inject a little fat in my ass from my stomach and call it a day. Really, I see no need for the bullshit. I'm very matter of fact, I'm not emotional, I'm not going to sit here and cry over milk I'll never get to spill, or lost titties...when I could have fake perky ones and a closet full of slutty tops.... FO E VA! My breast surgeon (BS, not to be confused with what comes out of cows...or me lol) is THRILLED!

 Not many are fortunate enough to be on Perjeta (the ass kicking chemo drug that shrinks tumors after a week). In all seriousness, I am very blessed, fortunate, lucky, and the stars aligned, ALL OF IT for me to be able to take it. See I'm what's called ER PR negative, and HER2 positive which means aggressive not caused by hormone cancer. I'm both negative and positive. People who are triple negative or triple positive aren't eligible but because I'm both I am HA! Sometimes it pays to be negative! In any event, things are going well. So thankful. I know it is because of all of your prayers and support. As the say in the South 'preciate y'all! Oh and to my precious gummy bear Javi, I love you Wubs!
Chemo luggage! Love my slippers!
