SHAPING UP
Now that summer is just around the corner, I figure it’s time to head back to the gym. I need to start toning up my bod, especially in the tummy and arms department, and def. work on getting that J.Lo booty! I’ve realized that I’m usually always tired when I get off work to head [...]

This recovery was a bit of a challenge. First challenging thing was to get off those damn pain meds!! I learned the hard way- pain meds lead to nausea meds which lead to constipation meds.

MY TWO FAVS
My sis leaves today to head back to her family in New Mexico. I’m so grateful that I was able to have a personal nurse, chauffeur, cook, and maid by side during this whole recovery period. I also had my 3-week post-surgery appointment with Dr. Pillarisetty and so far everything checks out good!!!

3rd TIMES A CHARM…RIGHT?!?::
Last week Friday I went in for an MRI and CT scan. The scans revealed that the radiation therapy has been very effective in killing off the cancer cells. But now comes the part I've been dreading. I really wasn't expecting to go in for surgery for another three weeks since that's what I was [...]
RINGING THE GONG

Thank you to everyone who has been there for me, especially to Ryan and Patti for driving me to my treatments. I have a scan this coming Friday, so stay tuned for [...]
