Wait...I have five more minutes!


"Welcome to Amanda's five minutes. Thanks for spending this time with me as we go through a series of treatments and surgeries to kick the butt of Breast Cancer...why 5 minutes? I always need five more minutes to clarify a conversation, to make my point, to drive to an appointment, to grocery shop. I live in that 5 minutes close call on being almost too late but almost always on time! Now, every next five minutes is the survival of my life. This is about a transformation of priorities, a journey of God meeting me in the middle, laughing as I go, and learning how to relax and get well. I just got a knock at the door, guess what my response was...Five more minutes!"

Update! ALL CLEAR!

Hi!!! Scan was CLEAR!!!!! Yahoo!!!!

Meds without chemo seemed uneventful on 2/13. Certainly was not sick like with chemo. I still have issues with hair, neuropathy. Hoping that gets better soon. I still have vision problems many times, it's like double vision. I am having an MRI on Wed to check my brain. At the very least we will know if there are any real problems there. I don't anticipate anything other than an all clear. I will report back.

Overall strength is horrible. I am sore right now and have not done any major exercise. Physical strength has been a lot harder than I thought it would be.  I have been exercising but it's mostly walking. Jogging is incredibly hard at the moment. I'm also batting 50% on the clean eating ordeal. I am eating chicken nuggets and fries as I write this. Fried chicken and French fries are a major downfall for me. The way I see it is that there is always tomorrow to start fresh, I don't have to eat it all, and I deserve it. It's a constant battle in my head. Ha!

I realize this is not very inspiring. Hope to have a much better report next time. Maybe I will be jogging and have lost a few lbs by then...  (I am not eating more than half my fries! The right side of my brain won this one! Haha!!)

Lots of love to my angels. Xoxo
Amanda
