Bag shots...

I got a screen shot of the bags- yay! Natural color with either tank or circles.

In other news: I feel kinda crummy today. Yesterday was not fun either. I hate this nausea thing.
I have had cheese toast (is this a southern thing btw? i got made fun of for calling it cheese toast- but what else do you call it!?) hot tamales and wheat thins. ugh!

oh and an interesting article:
Breast cancer breakthrough

There are these pops & drops they sell for nausea during pregnancy. I have heard they help with it during treatment. They are Preggiepops & Preggiedrops (should be online somewhere. If I see some, I will send them for you to try. Lavendar sounds weird for candy but it worked pretty well.

Anonymous said...: Holy Cow! First, thanks to SaraBeth for the forward, because otherwise I would have had NO idea!!!

2nd, what a way to find out how you are!

3rd, this is not the kind of information one needs to read after 3 glasses of red wine!!!

Nic- I miss you, I am thinking of our meals at Copper Cellar, and I am PRAYING! I haven't read more than like the past two blogs, but I had to respond ASAP! I will read more in a minute.

Holy Cow. Life is so freaking hard. But good. But so freaking hard.

I want your email. I want your address. I am going to order a shirt. And where are you? I would leave my phone number but have no idea where this blog is posted. I will ask Sarabeth to send my info to you/or get yours.

Hang in there and kick butt!

Love and loyally,

I enjoyed our little chat last night on-line. Your dad sent me the link to your blog and I have passed it along to your Aunt Renee and Dana. I am interested in getting a bag for my knitting and crochet and maybe a tee. I was wondering how much you are asking for them and the shipping? You can call, email or catch me on-ine to give me the info. I will be checking back from time to time on your progress. You remain in my prayers.

Love and blessings,

Leigh Ann said...: Hope you get over your nausea soon. You're learning so much about your treatment that you can write a book when this is all over and make lots of money!! Love ya, LA; March 18, 2008 at 6:04 AM

Buy Me!

YES! It's here! If you want to buy a shirt to help me out with the medical bills as they are starting to pile up, I would greatly appreciate it. If you would rather not, please pass it on to your nosy neighbor to see if they will instead.
There are two styles: "circles" or "tank"(see feb.18th post for a picture of each) If you would like tank, please specify in the "Is there any else you want to tell me" field. If you don't specify, I am just going to assume circles. And I am also going to assume that you have nothing else to say.
Thanks so much for helping out! And pass it on to other generous people. (not selfish people, they are no fun.) -nicole

If you feel funny about sending money over the "interweb", email me at n2creative@gmail.com and we'll work something out.

the back story:

So, a couple of months ago my mother told me that one of my good friends growing up was diagnosed with breast cancer and was currently going through chemo treatment to shrink the tumor before operating.(side note about friend: we were best friends from age 5 when they moved in behind us in the neighborhood until middle school when we moved away- we spent countless hours together and our mothers are still good friends)
so when i found out about her it got me thinking that i had not done a self exam in ages - so a few days later in the shower i found it. i read some about tumors and felt sure that it was benign but went ahead and made an appointment to get it looked at.
a few weeks later i was in the dr.s office and he shuttled me down to radiology to get it looked at. he was more alarmed at the size of the mass than the odds that it was cancerous - so he felt it was better to be safe than sorry and had me to get a sonogram and mammogram that next week. he as well as the radiologist assured that the odds were good that it was a fibroatanoma (benign fibrous tumor) but again better to play it safe and have it biopsied just to be sure.
i hadn't heard back from the doctor so i assumed no news was good news. but i will never forget him calling me back - i was in the nashville airport coming back from our girls weekend and he asked when i was back because he wanted me to come in to the office. i told him preferred to know what was going on now since obviously it was bad news. he said that normally he would rather speak to a patient about this in person but under the circumstances he understood. he then gave me the diagnoses and some numbers to call the next morning to set up appointments with surgeon and fertility specialist.
whirlwind flight back that was canceled and resulted in me having a breakdown with the gate agent (poor guy) and i was forced to spend the night in DC wondering what in the world was happening.
i have since met up with my friend from childhood and she has been invaluable to me going through all of this and i hope that we can both support each other throughout the next months... it is just too odd that we are both within a week in age, have similar upbringings and have this diagnoses so close together. all we can think of is that we both licked the paint off the barbie dream house at some point (we were both huge barbie fans and that was the majority of our play time) or there was something funky in the creek behind our neighborhood. i do plan on doing more research on this because the similarities are just too much but for now i am blaming it on the barbie dream house
