Did the Komen Walk

It's Sunday... I did the Komen Walk on Saturday. I was signed up for the 1 mile walk but ended up doing the 5k walk instead. We didn't finish but came really close. I achieved the second highest ($500) in donations for my team, so thank you to every one who gave!! It felt good to be with so many people who's lives have been forever changed by breast cancer. I felt like I belonged with them.

I had treatment Friday, September 7th. I still wasn't feeling that well so the treatment didn't help. It took until Thursday before I was able to get through a day. I only have two herceptin treatments left, one this month and one in October. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I had a mental melt down the week I went into the hospital and a couple of weeks after. I really needed to figure out the possible bone cancer issue. I did a lot of questioning and I think that I'm feeling better now. I'm hearing the Taxol treatments do a lot of damage to the bone and it is very possible that everything is okay and the cancer is gone. My family doctor did some additional blood work and all seems well.

I've been healing physically and I'm trying to get myself to heal emotionally. It's hard to just put all the pain and fear behind you so quickly. I know that there are people (children) in the world who have suffered so much more than I have. I really don't have the right to be sad or complain. I pray that someday I'll be able to help someone like all of you have helped me.

Love,

Janet
