I'm sure a lot of people are curious, it would be helpful for them to know what they face, even the lurkers who won't say so :)<BR/><BR/>Your New Year's dinner with Rich sounds wonderful ! <BR/><BR/>So does your sea salt scrub pedicure with Sheri, and opening up about your feelings !<BR/><BR/>Of course it is scary. Not having control always is, as is the unknown.<BR/><BR/>You have so much appreciation of what you have.

I believe that, I have experienced His healing power... <BR/><BR/>We are flesh and blood and we are subject to the fears that the enemy whispers in our ears..... I hate the "what if" whispers... How they torment....... but there is a scripture in the word that will help the "what ifs" <BR/><BR/>Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8<BR/><BR/>Keep your heart and mind focused on the goodness of God.<BR/><BR/> And remember Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. <BR/><BR/>Just remember that we are praying...Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492336975389718296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-78426403550360572342008-01-03T13:05:00.000-06:002008-01-03T13:05:00.000-06:00Hello Deena, I found your blog through Mary(Issabe...Hello Deena, I found your blog through Mary(Issabellascloset) and I agree with everyone.

So if your photos could help someone who was in my position, I think that would be wonderful. Information is power in so many ways. <BR/><BR/>You sound wonderful sweetie. Keep that good attitude and you will find every day a blessing, even when the not so good days come. And enjoy that hair!! Looks adorable!<BR/><BR/>Like me, it is a blessing to go through chemo in the winter time so you can wear all kinds of fun hats and scarfs. I loved trying to look artsy with them and got so many compliments, even from strangers. And you won't have to shave for a long time which is so cool. And oh my, when your hair is gone, and eyelashes, you can get ready so fast. I would be ready before my husband and we would just laugh. Not having hair is amazing in so many ways. I wish I could be there with you and paint your head like I painted mine with roses...lol.<BR/><BR/>Just keep laughing and praising God, and life will just get sweeter and sweeter.<BR/><BR/>love and hugs,<BR/>joannaJoAnnA Pierottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693372383060124072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-21086627812982620182008-01-03T08:24:00.000-06:002008-01-03T08:24:00.000-06:00Hi Deena,If you go to my blog today you will see a...Hi Deena,<BR/>If you go to my blog today you will see a post that my sweet daughter Jodi posted for me explaining I am "temp out of order"<BR/>but I am keeping a check on you through borrowed time on someone else's computer.....

"PRAISE GOD"!!!! I think it is a great idea to show your pictures. It will help someone else out there that may be going thru the same thing. I just so admire you for being so strong and having the courage to share this all with us. It is a good thing to be able to talk to someone about this tho. I'm glad you and your hubby had a good time going out. I know I enjoy it very much when me and my hubby go out together. I call it our Date Night. LOL. Take care my friend and have a great day.

After all you've been through it feels good to do something "normal", doesn't it?<BR/><BR/>I don't know the "pink book" you mentioned, but I have read Dr Susan Love's Breast Book. It gives much more information than you ever want to know, and lots that doesn't apply. I had to put it down several times through my treatment because it was scaring me. But I always went back and tried to put on my "clinical hat" and I learned a great deal.<BR/><BR/>You will be fine with your chemo. Everyone's experience is different, I know. I learned not to listen to people who try to tell you how miserable they were. I don't know why people do that. Listen to those of us with something positive to say about it! For example, my chemo experience was pretty great. I wasn't sick, I didn't gain or lose weight. I did lose my hair, unavoidable, but I had great wigs (and I gave them all names....Delores, Audrey-Angelina, and Paige....to make it more fun). I had a few hours every other week to sit in the chemo chair and do my crosswords (to keep my mind sharp), to write letters, listen to music, snack, and snooze. It was the "me time" I needed and I actually enjoyed it. Plus I knew we were actually doing something to attack the cancer cells, so it was a good feeling.<BR/><BR/>As for whether the cancer is elsewhere, your doctors can order scans to check that out. You probably know that. That provides some peace of mind.<BR/><BR/>From what I've read in your blog, you sound like such an upbeat person that you will sail through the rest of this! Just keep finding the positive, keep laughing, and keep blogging (it's so therapeutic). Good luck to you, KatieKThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885521957407702980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-27382830816651874412008-01-02T20:40:00.000-06:002008-01-02T20:40:00.000-06:00Oh, and I LOVE the new haircut, a lot!Oh, and I LOVE the new haircut, a lot!smileymamaThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340988382485972419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-50896691396654339062008-01-02T20:39:00.000-06:002008-01-02T20:39:00.000-06:00Hi Deena,First visit, I think...I'm just charmed b...Hi Deena,<BR/><BR/>First visit, I think...I'm just charmed by your blog and will be sure to come back and visit.
