What's Happening in my Life.....

So, obviously we didn't move. My doctors wanted me to stay here to complete my treatments, so hopefully next year we can move. Lexington now has bad memories for me. Having cancer has changed everything about this city.

I am more than halfway through my chemo treatments, then on to radiation treatments. I meet with the Radiologist on October 7 to discuss my treatment plan.

After that 2 more surgeries and hopefully I can put the whole cancer thing behind me.

I can handle the constant feeling of fatigue but I can't handle the not being able to work. I am only getting half on my normal pay and it is not enough. It is really getting to me.

Tony has his surgery on Sept. 30 and after recovery we are hoping he can find a decent job and ease the financial woes we are facing.

Next.......

Started chemo on July 19th and was ok until the next day :) Now it seems as though every side effect that can happen is happening. I am so ready for this to be over with and I still have 5 treatments to go. I feel like I am defined by this disease. I am no longer Claire, I am the lady with cancer. It really sucks.
