| In honour of BREAST CANCER month |

Wow what a month!!, So much going on.. so many PINK LADY days to attend to, so many GIRLS NIGHT IN'S to hang out out.. and i have been going to everyone!!... LOL.. This is why i am so tired this month, but hay its all for a good cause and i really want to do my bit, whatever i can to make sure no one ever has to go through this ever.

I also had my second last Chemo this week, so that only ONE to go. You just don't know how excited i am about this, just waking up every morning knowing i have only one left is the greatest feeling on this planet, then just the Op in Dec and hopefully i will be on my way to a brand new HEALTHY life!!!

I have also been scrapping, 3 layouts so far plus i have a couple to show from last month, so i will try and get them up at some point today or tonight, still need to take photos.

So back to my BREAST CANCER.. lol.. i decided it was about time i showed a photo of my bald head.. lol.. and this is really the best month to show it off don't you think... LOL

So here goes nothing.. out there for the whole world to see...

 

First up one with my new fave HAT!!.. love this hat so comfy, but its starting to get a little hot to wear it too much now!!!

 

And there you go... LOL... my bald head.. well you can see a little bit of FLUFF growing back a bit... LOL... don't laugh at me to much ok.... LOL

Anyone one wanna sponsor me to SHAVE my head for money??.. LOL.. only kidding!!!

So there you go, now off you all go ans CHECK THOSE BOOBIES, do it now, do it next month and the next and the next, for EVER.. and if you are over 50 GET THAT MAMMOGRAM DONE do you hear me!!... You just don't know how many woman i have met the last few months who are over 50 and have NEVER had one... So Please CHECK THOSE BOOBIES!!!!!

{ Spring Rose } | Melbourne/Frankston Childrens photographer

Lastweek i had chemo number 4.. This is the new cycle of drugs i will be getting called TAX. The nurses and my doctor said this one was a lot easier than the last lot i was taking.. but with more side affects.. YEAH!!!

So off i go back into the day treatment centre.. Everyone is starting to know me now.. its really strange going in and everyone knows your name and your story. Sometimes women even come up to met me as they have heard all about my case and my fight to bet breast cancer. I asked my Breast nurse Jenny WHY? does everyone know me etc.. LOL... She said Connie its rare to see a lady so young with breast cancer and they are all behind you and are amazed by your fight!.. Well if only they knew what happens when i crash and lose it... LOL.. Anyway the TAX drug need to be injected very slowly to start with, just in case i get a reaction from it... after about 15mins and all is looking good they increase the amount. So all good so far.

While have TAX i have to wear a ice glove on my left hand. One of the BIG side affects from TAX is my nails may fall off.. YUCK!! i know.. so they do this in hope that they don't. Lets hope it works. The ice glove is so cold its really unbearable, but i bite my tongue and think of keeping my nails.

About an hour and a few cheese and biscuits and drinks and lot of laughs with the nurses later i am off home... and i felt GREAT.. nothing like any other chums.. so great i wanted some JACKS on the way home.. and i never eat after Chemo. YUM YUM. The rest of the day i felt tired but still good, no sickness nothing.. I still headed off to bed for a early night just in case..

Well i woke up with the worst joint and muscle aches you could ever imagine... my WHOLE body hurt so much i couldn't even move.. i have never felt pain like this before.. then came the nose bleeds. too many to count.. this was so much worse than the last lot of chemo drugs i was on.. a lot worse. I pretty much stayed in bed for two days, unable to move from the joint pain.

Woke up Saturday morning with a RASH!! like it can get any worse.. a bad rash on my neck and elbow, joint aches and blood noses... WILL THIS EVER END!!!.. Pretty much the same for Sunday, the rash got worse i have never been so itchy in my life and let just add a cherry on top a ear ache and cough started... Why am i so lucky!!

I have pretty much felt like crap most of the week.. The nose bleeds and aches finally stopped on Tuesday, but i still have the rash and the couch, but at least i can get up and move!!

so in a couple of words I HATE TAX!!!!....

Tuesday i was off again to have another mammograms and ultra scans... so wasn't looking forward to it.. i felt like crap and all i needed was to be poked all day. I ended up have 6 different mammograms and YES my BOOB hurts so much even NOW.. for those who have had one will know what i mean and i had a ultra scan that lasted a HOUR!!.. WHY? you ask... well they where having trouble finding the LUMP!!.. whoo hooo. So now im thinking all this is oh so worth it... its working but i still hate TAX... LOL...

So fingers crossed they decide too operate early.. OH PLEASE.. they are going to have a meeting next week to discuss what to do next.. and i am pushing the OP!!... LOL.. so i will keep you posted.

Enough Cancer talk....

Wednesday... i woke up to see the most beautiful rose in my garden ever.. The first Rose of Spring...

Not alot has been going on... the kids are bored out of there brains and i feel so bad we haven't really done much.. but i have been stuck in bed most o fthe holidays... We did go to the Melbourne show.. The kids had a BALL... and we spent so much money.. but who cares i say.. and Keenan has been staying at My Nana and gramps house this week.. back home tomorrow.. I have missed him so much.. miss my Keenan cuddles..
