Here I go again. Eager to give cancer a beating. This time with whole brain radiation (WBR). My first zap takes place on Tuesday evening. After that, I’ll have 13 more sessions. Three weeks in all. For the most part a Monday through Friday gig. Very do-able. Or, so I think now.
I’ve stayed away from doing the google search on WBR. My research has been communicating with 2 women who went through this treatment months ago. They are still kickin…which makes me happy. Maybe I’ll be like them. I’m on board to try.
I still have a lengthy list of things to accomplish before I begin treatment. The must do’s are done though. A new spiffy hat has been purchased. Sassy lip gloss too. Beyond that, really, what do I need? I suppose a refill of anti-nausea pills are a good idea.
Day one of brain mets annihilation – here I come. Die cancer, die! (Feels like I’ve said that line before…)
Pulling for you Kimmy and as always am impressed with your kick (cancer’s) ass attitude. Sassy hats and lip gloss rule!
Linnea
Thanks Linnea! Got my butt handed to me on Day 1 but now, I’m back with an arsenal of drugs! The things we do…
Oh, the lip gloss was an excellent purchase. I’m thinking that’s why I got carded today buying SW beer. I highly recommend every lady having some. 🙂
You can do it!
I will certainly try! Thanks for your words of wisdom too. Much appreciated!
We will help, everyone shout, “DIE CANCER DIE” keep away from our Kim. Will be thinking of you!
Love it Diane! I think I can hear you all the way over here.
Hey Kim. Just want you to know I’m thinking about you and of course SW. Keep up that killer attitude my friend! You inspire me. Hugs and kisses.
Nina
Hugs and kisses back-atch! Thanks for everything…most importantly your understanding. It’s been a life saver having SW home the last few days. xoxo
Like many others I will be thinking of you and picturing you kick cancers arse!
Thanks Gail! I owe you an email…it will be your way soon. As you can tell, I’ve been a little distracted with brain tumors lately. Stupid cancer!
Go get ’em, Kim! Don’t forget your big earrings, too!
Here are some ::big hugs:: for you. I’m proud of you for being so brave. You’re downright inspiring!
xoxo Jessica
Oh yes! Thanks for the earring reminder. That will become even more critical next week when the First Fall of 2013 begins!
xoxo
PS- Happy ring shopping!
No doubt, you will do some ass kicking! Jessica’s right, you are brave and we are ALL pulling and praying for you. xox
Thanks Melanie. Your continues support is MUCHO appreciated!
will most definitely be thinking of you tomorrow and during the next three weeks
Hope the first day of treatment went ok and will be thinking of you today too.
Day 1 was brutal – a post will come soon. But, the days are getting better now that my meds are in order. Thank goodness for good drugs!
You are going to demolish those bastards! I’m looking to you as my near-future inspiration!
Bitty,
Near-future? Do you have WBR on the radar too? If so, I wish you the best. Stay in touch…
Kim
We just met with the radiology oncologist this afternoon, and it looks like we’re going stereotactic since there are three mets and smallish. I’ll know better after meeting with the neurosurgeon next week. These sneaky little jerks – who do they think they are, setting up shop in our noggins? We’ll show them who’s in charge!
Glad to see you’re feeling well enough to be responding to well wishes with humor still intact!
Kim, Danny and I are on the KICK CANCER’S ASS wagon w/you. Sending much love from NC. Love, Paula
Thanks Ms Paula and Mr Danny! Love you both heaps and heaps. Love my new tea pot too! xoxo
You are incredible, lovely and brave! Kick that cancer’s ass, Kimmy!
Will do Jules!
Kinda funny I’m still going by the Kimmy Wink thing. Oh the good ol’ jock days in college! What a lifetime ago, huh? Glad your still in my life. xoxo
Enjoy the sun today and start the fight you have prepped for tonight. You are strong and as tough as nails. Cancer should be scared! Always pulling for you in everything!!
Tammy,
The sun has been lovely. Got my butt handed to me on Tuesday but now, much better! Cancer only thought it had the upper hand. Boy, was it wrong!
Beautiful Warrior, if anyone can annihilate cancer, it’s you! I’m with Diane shouting “DIE, CANCER, DIE!” I’m sending all kinds of love and good juju to you and SW. xoxoxo
Love good juju – keep it coming!!
xoxo
All my energy and positive thoughts to you tonight! The first night of your “Kick Cancer’s Ass” tour! It’s almost time for Spring cleaning, when will your yard be ready for a sprucing up?
Spring cleaning? Oh yes…I suppose that is on the horizon. It’s nice to think about something other than treatment. Hello to you and L!
Hope treatment went well tonight and you had a chance to enjoy the sunshine earlier. You are one of the strongest people I know and if anyone can kick cancer’s ass it is you. Stay strong.
Patty,
I’m staying as strong as I possibly can…somedays not so strong and others I’m amaze myself at my strength. Sort of funny how that goes.
Kim, you know you’re in my heart big time. While you’re using your super woman powers to fight this thing let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do. Really, I’m free and I’m yours.
Hugs, Connie
Thank you so much, Connie. I’ll be sure to reach out if I need it.
Kim
I’ll be thinking about your cancer and mine when I’m practicing my moves in Sword Tai Chi! Take that cancer! And I’ll be dancing for you, for life, for energy, for love in tango. Bet of luck with WBR!
Bonnie,
Whack the hell out of that cancer demon for me, you, and all the rest of us out there!
Die cancer, die!
Kim
