Can't believe it's been four months since I finished chemo. This past month has been interesting. I started experiencing a lot of pain and constipation. One night Duane had to rush me into ER because of the pain and the fact that none of the laxatives I had consumed in one evening was working. I felt the same sensation that women feel when they start to push a baby out during delivery. My gastroenterologist ordered another colonoscopy and barium procedure to rule out a blockage. Happy to learn that they didn't find anything. My doctor says that stress can trigger these symptoms. Can't deny that there's been extended family issues that have maxed out my stress level. Oh well............such is life.
I realized another side effect that chemo left. I lost my curly hair. Now, I've always wanted straight hair and now that I have it, I miss my curly hair. Maybe it will change back in time.
I started taking Vitamin B Complex because I was dragging in the evening and that seems to help my energy level out.
Other than this, I continue to do well and express my gratitude daily for all my blessings especially for my husband and family. What's that saying, "we might not have it all together, but together we have it all." Isn't that the truth!

You didn't tell me that your hair went straight, okay..jealous! But isn't that how it usually goes, you don't appreciate what you have until you lose it...that rule applies to everything but weight. It was good talking to you yesterday. Love you.
I'm so glad to hear you're doing so well Yo! Love ya!
Hi Yolanda!
This is Maren McCoy, Folsom now. I've gotten in touch with Jess--and found you too.
I didn't know you had cancer. It doesn't surprise me that you are beating it, you have always been so strong.
Thank you for being a great teacher. I have never forgotten the warmth and love I have always felt from you. You were someone I knew I could count on and trust.
I'm doing great, check out my blog brimargwubsey.blogspot.com.
