Lost in the embrace of Amanda Lynn

My breast turned scary red, but it keeps doing that. I suppose it’s to be expected. It’s kind of swollen and it’s kind of creepy to think of the poison vs cancer war, and dead cells, and stuff, going on 13 inches from my face. And there’s still a giant tumor in there. It might have shrunk or I might be crazy but I should probably quit poking at it, that’s probably why it is red.

Gonna be a long 7 months. Oh well I’m so lucky to be able to work at home, and to not have any responsibilities as far as taking care of other people.

    I’m thinking it would be practically impossible not to poke at the boob regularly, if not all the time. Explain the 7 month thing — is that how long you do chemo or what?

    I’m very excited by those dead cells. Keep killing the little bitches.

    Yeah… I have one kind of chemo (A/C? hum I turned in those papers without a copy…I’ll figure it out later) every three weeks until August, then another kind every week for a while, adding up to about 7 months. Then surgery probably, then probably radiation and some magic herceptin pills (I’ve got the HER2 positive kind, estrogen negative.)

    Blargh.
