Two Weeks Since Chemo Round 3

It’s been two weeks since my last Chemo.  I am at the halfway point with it all and I know it should feel like a relief or exciting and everyone shows excitement for me but honestly I don’t feel it. This treatment was different, physically I felt better and recovered a lot quicker within five days but it was also icky at the same time. Read More

To rest is a wise decision

It is Wednesday, May 11th. I had a couple of “good” days and then Monday night I plummeted. Crazy how all these drugs make you go downhill so quickly. I felt like I had a full on fever and chills Monday night. I didn’t (and I can’t afford to) have a common flu. But I just wanted to curl up and shut out the world.

Chemo Round 2

I’d like to tell you that my experience is the norm, that there is some standard that everyone can follow when they go through chemo. That just isn’t the truth.

My second treatment was proof of that.

My second treatment began with a quick visit with Oncologist. He examined my breast and confirmed that my tumor was shrinking. THANK THE LORD! We chatted and he decided that we needed to get a marker placed in my breast near the tumor so that they can keep track of it. He said that it could just shrink away and they need to know where to go if that happens. Read More

Chemo On Your Birthday

To: Tamika
From: William

Happy Birthday Tamika!  Well, how does it feel to be 37?  Did I mention that I’m still 36 – woohoo!  Seriously, I know I tease and joke, but I’m so happy to celebrate you on this day.  I love being the first one to say ‘happy birthday’ in the morning and seeing your smile in reply.

I love you and hope you have an amazing day!

Bald is Beautiful

Well, 14 days after my first chemo treatment my hair started falling out. It wasn’t just a little…it was a lot. So I had William take some pictures of my short hair and last night we shaved it! William put together this amazing video for me, and I wanted to share it with you. Hope you enjoy 😉 Read More
