~I want to CREATE and NOT have CANCER~

~I WANT TO CREATE and NOT HAVE CANCER~

SO, this is my newly improved room.....it's ALL MINE...to do with what I want. It's what I see when I walk in the room to go to my computer. (notice the other side of the room is not pictured because, well, it's a DISASTER!!!! LOL)


IT MAKES ME WANT TO CREATE....and NOT THINK about my CANCER!!!!
I have been really sick this time around. TODAY I THREW UP!!!! OMG!!! IT WAS HORRIBLE as I forgot to take my nausea medicine. I totally spaced it off and did I ever pay for it.


I DO NOT WANT TO GO THRU THAT AGAIN. It was a pain from the deepest part of my gut and I have never puked like that. I'm sure some of you out there that have gone thru chemo know exactly what I am talking about.

Another thing is MY entire body gets wet and clammy....my body feels like it just puked...it's the strangest thing ever, My Mom watched it happen and said I get all WHITE in the face and look faint. I FEEL FAINT too when it happens. I do believe it's the white cell count as it makes me dizzy too. Then I get the shivery shakes....I start to get cold.

And you know when you have been at a movie theater and you walk outside into the sunshine after the movie is over. It seems sort of SUR-REAL, sort of like everything is either really small or really big, well, that is how my entire days are for at least 7 of them following chemo. It's like you can't take one more step or look at one more thing, you just need to shut your eyes and go to sleep. And so, that's what I have been doing.....BUT I WANT TO CREATE!!!


~MIRRORS MIRRORS and MORE MIRRORS....Another OBSESSION of MINE~ ~NEW but made to look OLD and VINTAGE GLITTER RABBITS~

~MY LOVE OF VINTAGE RIBBONS~

Love and Hugs, Amy

~4th Chemo Kickin' My Butt~


A quick note (as I am up from yet another HOT FLASH and NIGHT SWEATS) This fourth chemo treatment is very very tiresome, it is kickin my butt and I have never felt this TIRED IN MY LIFE...not even after giving child birth. They told me this might happen and I feel like I am in a totally different world. You know when you walk out of the dark movie theater and everything is bright and sunny and just off....well, that is how I have felt since I got home Wednesday from chemo. I am very light headed and weak and all I am doing is sleeping.

Hang in there with me, I will answer every one's emails sometime tomorrow and please know, we tried this entire 4th treatment without any kids and it's been the BEST THING FOR ME!!!
I am on 3 NEW different medicines to see if we can keep me out of the hospital...YIPPY SKIPPY!!!
Until Tomorrow (well, I guess it is tomorrow but, I am going back to bed, yet again)
Hugs and Love, Amy
