    Diagnosed

    Oh No

    I was the healthiest woman I knew when I was diagnosd with cancer. I did everything "right"...ate healthy, exercised, didn't smoke. Apparently all that didn't matter..cancer doesn't care if you do things "right."

    Chemotherapy

    Drug or Chemo Therapy

    Six rounds of taxotere and carboplatin. No picnic, but definitely survivable!

    Easy to Do: Neutral/NA
    Minimal Side Effects: Agree
    Minimal Impact to Daily Life: Agree

    External radiation

    Radiation

    33 rounds. Seriously inconvenient! The itching and blistering would have been minimized if the nurses hadn't been so stingy with the samples of the "good stuff."

    Painless Experience: Strongly Agree
    Minimal Side Effects: Agree
    Minimal Impact to Daily Life: Disagree

    Finished treatment

    Celebration

    We had a giant pink party with a photo station where people could put on pink accessories...boas, wigs, jewelry, giant glasses, tiaras...you get the idea. A month later, I decorated my pink tent at the Komen 3 day with the pics...and, YES, I walked the entire 60 miles!
