Gah, blood work. How I loathe you and your early morning appointments. You should be able to poke yourself when you have to go this often and just mail the blood in for testing. You get up get ready at 7am only to walk in, get poked and walk out in a total of 5 minutes.
What are my plans for the weekend? Making scarves out of beautiful material I bought a week or two ago. I also made a cute little turban type thing for the older lady down the street who has breast cancer. My mother and I are going to visit her later on today or maybe tomorrow. She must be lonely, I don’t know much about her, not even her name actually. I just recall her giving out awesome candy when Halloween rolled around haha.
I’m feeling better, I haven’t seen the father figure in quite some time. He’s not feeling well of course so he’s been locked away up in his room until dinner time comes. I’m worried but I can’t let things damper my mood.
As for chemo, hopefully it’s this week and my white blood count is healthy enough. I don’t want this to drag on. I want to be done in May and not June or July. The downside to having chemotherapy this coming week is nerves. I wasn’t nervous at all the first time around but for some reason the whole idea just struck me as a pretty undesirable thing all of a sudden. It has to be done though… It’s just a minor inconvenience for a permanent improvement.
Oh! Before I forget, thank you yet again for your support it really opened my eyes and it’s nice for someone to understand. As for ditching the wig I found quite a few cute warm hats online and grabbed them up :D. And since I’ve been here quite a few people like my writing style. I don’t know what’s so different about it heh, but maybe I’ll take these entries one day and compile them into a book. I know this whole experience is something that I want to share in order to help other young women like me because I know I wish I had someone my age to reach out to when I found out, maybe a book could be the answer for those girls in the future.

Thanks for your support -
Hi Gemma – sounds like you are doing great! I’m not a morning person either. Are there reasons why you have to do this so early? If not, why don’t you ask if you can do it later?
You are so sweet to reach out to that lady! If you have to do the early morning appointment for the blood work, figure out a way to treat yourself. Go back to bed, or have something yummy, like chocolate. :)
I’m a writer also. But that’s another story.
Hugs!

I think a book sounds like a wonderful idea!
