Well, Just another boring Monday - no AF yet. I'm patiently waiting to see if she'll visit today. I'm getting an anxious feeling over this, I'm starting to worry that I had a M.C. last month, I had some signs, but did not go to get checked out. If I don't start by tomorrow morning....
My Mom has her last 2 infusions of Chemo on Tuesday (4/8/08 and 4/15/08) We are meeing with her Oncologyst to discuss her IBC. I am bringing my notes and blasting him - firing him and getting my mom a second opinion. Thank God. I hope all goes well.

Tomorrow is my Birthday
I'm off of work tomorrow - they give us our B-days off or a floating holiday. I chose the day, I'm going to spend the day with my mom, maybe go my my hubby's salon to get my hair styled. We're going out to dinner with my mom, grandma, brother and his wife and my niece and nephew! I love spending time with my family, it makes me so happy! I'll be the big 31 -whoopty-do.
I hope that the weekend will be fun and relaxing. I need a break. I still feel a bit of sadness....please go away sadness, please.

hope
Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope implies a certain amount of despair, wanting, wishing, suffering or perseverance — i.e., believing that a better or positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary.
I still have hope that my friends and my mom will get better from the disease.
I've lost a friend to cancer already, it hurts. I have two friends that are fighting now.

back at home
Well I had a short busieness trip to Rocklin on Thursday to Friday afternoon. It was short and interesting, I've never been to Rocklin before.
I had a interesting experence in a coffee shop Friday morning:
Hott Coffee
Walk in all men patrons. Look behind the counter blonde 18ish year olds, wearing bikini tops and the shortest shorts ot skirts you've seen, WOW. Very strange for 8AM to be dressed like that, it was their uniforms. Only in Cali. The cappiccino was okay, nothing special.

still sad
I had a sad day all day yesterday, and today it continues. As my husband would put it, I am empathetic to a fault.
I stopped taking anti-depression medicine when we began TTC, and this is the result. I hate having to rely on a medicine to make me more normal. I hope that I can go back on them soon...I feel like I'm a mess without them.

Sadness today
I found out that this lady lost her fight to IBC this morning. Her name is Susan, her husbands name is Warren. I don't know much more than that other than she had been okay earlier this month, nad now is in the hands of God. He battle against IBC ended this morning at M.D. Anderson in Houston, Texas around 10 AM.
I just wish a cure could be found, it's hard to know what a deadly disease Breast Cancer can be, especially IBC. I still have hope though, I have heard of survivors of IBC up to 17 years.
I have a stupid business trip to go to tomorrow night - only an overnight trip, so not bad. I just don't feel like being away for a night.

Update on my Mom
My mom's been down lately. Her Oncologyst is about to be fired. I have been reaching across the country to get her the best medical advise that I can. I started with my "IBC friends" on the message board. http://www.ibcsupport.org/
The people on this board are so supportive and helpful. I got in touch with a very esteemed Medical Oncologyst from M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX. I recieved his e-mail address from a lady with IBC. He wrote me back on Easter morning, which amazed me that he was working on Easter, let alone to e-mail a non-patient. (M.D. Anderson is the 1st IBC Clinic in the US)
I also got a referral to a very good Medical Oncologyst that works in Oakland Kaiser. She got her residency at M.D. Anderson. I hope that she follows the protocol of M.D. Anderson.
A ways back I did get another referral for a Medical Oncologyst at UCSF. I put a call in to the clinical trial center to see if I can get her in to there, Dr. Hope Rugo is a great IBC dr. who's treated most of the patients here in the Bay Area.
I am making steps to getting her a new doctor that will not give up on her. I feel like I should have gone to Medical School.
