Thanks for stopping by and checking in.... I am doing much better this morning, last night was rough. Schuyler had a tough reaction to my wig and lack of hair. He really wanted me to hang on to that short tuff of hair (that was FALLING out and was too much for me to manage). We calmed him down, let him cried, cried with him a little and talked to him about when the hair will come back and that we can get a wig that will help mommy look like mommy again. He wasn't so keen on the blonde wig. But I explained to him it could be so much worse, I could feel really sick. I could be incapacitated and not be able to do the things I love to do. But it is tough not having hair, I don't want to look "sick" - I want to be normal. Having no hair is not normal. But --- the new "hair" is fun in its own way --- I just need to get used to it. I am ordering some beanies from Road Runner sports that will help being able to wear hats - - and hopefully bring a little more normalcy to the house. Be strong - it won't be long.... I will have hair again. I just need a little strength sometimes, and prayers, and need to cry, just to get it out...... and keep healing.
Back to something fun....
Here is another post from the Pink Petal and there will be a few more to come.... but this is dedicated to all the tshirts that Donna has on sale at the Pink Petal. I smiled, felt empowered, felt warmth and felt strong as I looked at all she had to offer. I love to take photos of fun and empowering shirts on my other blog,
(LINK HERE TO Tshirt sayings on Mountain of Dreams) and thought how cool it would be to share with you all these shirts and what they have to say about fighting cancer and have some fun with it! A little humor goes a LONG way. These shirts have been worn at senior centers, shopping malls, Relay For Life events and just give the battle a whole new look!
Mostly these are for females & breast cancer survivors, but they have such a strong message! Please leave a comment and tell me which one is YOUR favorite? :)
Enjoy! :) And smile! :)

Again, you are such a strong woman...I'm not sure what else to say, other than those tshirts are pretty funny.
Nancy - you are such an amazing and strong woman. My thoughts and prayers are with you thru your journey.
One of my best friends just finished chemo treatments for stage 1C ovarian cancer. She shaved her head after her second treatment. Her treatments ended a couple of months ago and her hair is coming back quite quickly now. She viewed her bald head as a badge of honor. She is one of the strongest women I've ever known.
Keep fighting and bask in the knowledge of the love and support that surrounds you.
Hi,
My name is Laura Reid. I stumbled across your blog looking for a breast cancer blog. I'm trying to get the word out that I'm holding my 5th annual breast cancer book sale. Every penny raised goes to the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Every year friends, friends of friends, family and strangers donate books. I drive around like a crazy woman picking them up and sell them at one big sale. I've raised about $2,000 over the last 4 years. Here are the details of the book sale if you're interested:
37 Center Street
Weymouth, MA
Saturday, August 14
9:00-2:00
Thank you!!!!
