#5 Almost Done...Sort of

I get to cheat this cycle. I am only doing one week so my feet and hands will be feeling reasonably good for the wedding and reception. That means I am all done this Sunday and can start the recover mode. We will decide if I will take the second week from this cycle at the end of my 8th and last cycle. I vote yes! 

One of my "bullet wounds"

It was certainly "doctor week" this week. I saw the surgeon that did my breast surgery on Monday. She will be taking care of my melanoma when the time comes. First she wanted me to see a UCSD dermatologist to make sure none of my other moles are suspicious. I did that on Wednesday and now I have 6 new holes in me! I am regretting not waiting until after the wedding for this since I now look like I have bullet holes all over me...great! Oh well, what is one to do?! I guess I will be doing my best Bonnie and Clyde impersonation...just need Clyde and I am ready to go. Between my tumor surgery, breast reduction on the other side, 2 biopsies followed by 6 more and the surgery that awaits me for the melanoma I think I have lost a pound of flesh! LOL  I DO NOT recommend this as a weight loss method! ;o)

I think this is such a lovely
look for the wedding!

Blessings

I have had so many wonderful blessings and joyous distractions. From going to NY for Cam's Broadway debut to Kendall and Christian's wedding right around the corner I have such a thankful heart! I will have all 3 kids home and under our roof this next week...doing the happy dance about that for sure! I have taken this whole next week off so I can spend some fun time with my little Kendall Roses before she becomes a wife. We are going to make it a stress free and fun week for sure! We started off by going to her final dress fitting and grabbed boba from our favorite place. 

Prayers

I humbly ask for your prayers that my other biopsies come back negative. That way I will only have the one that needs surgery. I also ask that you continue to pray that my Xeloda is doing all that it is supposed to be doing from me and that my cancer will not return. I pray for a cancer free body so that I can get back to doing His work. My heart gets so filled by being able to get out there and help others...especially my girls in Mexico!

Things That Made Me Smile

Betty and Cam on the
Neverland Stage

My dear friend Betty King has always been so supportive of my kids theater ventures. In fact she has dubbed herself Cameron's #1 fan (that is after me of course). She has seen all of his shows and even went all the way to NY to see him on the Broadway stage! She left on a redeye Friday night and returned Sunday...now that is one loyal fan! ;o) Love you Betty!

This little guy brings a smile to my face

almost every day. My friend and neighbor is a nanny to him and his sister. "Brudder," as he is fondly called, is usually out in the cul de sac ripping it up in his hot rod while sporting his flame mohawk helmet. He makes me so excited to be a grandma! 

And to all of you...you make me smile because when I think about how wonderful you are to be praying for me it makes me so happy. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart! God bless you all!
