Ok, back to pink. The truth is, most of my wardrobe pre-cancer had some pink in it anyway, so that's a no brainer. However, I hadn't been able to wear most of my normal clothes until lately. Today it just felt right to wear a pink "life is good" shirt. I need to buy more of those. So convenient how my cancer is so nicely color coordinated with my closet. To quote Nancy Brinker (the founder and sister of Susan G Komen), "some think of pink as a soft and delicate color, but not our pink. Pink is strong, pink is fierce, pink is brave, and pink is mighty." I am a warrior in pink and I am going to fight like a girl!
I felt alive today. I still had my sad moments, but generally speaking, it was a good day.
I also finally got my her2 results. They were negative, which means no herceptin for me, and likelihood is I will have 8, 2-week cycles of chemo. I'll know for sure tomorrow when I see Dr. Ray. I'm actually a little excited about it. Having a plan is so empowering!! Of course, that's today, on another day, I am really not looking forward to it one bit. But for today, I am ready. Full steam ahead!
My quote for the day (thank you Mrs. A) is "The best way out is through"... Just got charge ahead. It's the only way to win.
Hey sweets-
ReplyDeleteLoved your both posts today, empowering, inspiring, motivating. I am glad you had a fantastic day-sounds like you were able to do a lot today. I have an appointment too tomorrow, but I am very scared, and very worried....it'll be OK. Just say some prayers for me OK....I'll fill you in as I am able to.....hugs, love, and prayers always.
