Things got a little heavy the other day in the oncologist’s office. Discussing my surgery options and my percentages reoccurrence\u00a0once I’m done with my rounds of chemo.\u00a0 Left me out of it, in a funk, for a few days.\u00a0Even attended my first support group – the information I obtained was great – but again, it’s heavy stuff to be discussing (we were talking double mastectomies, saving nipples or not – what’s best, what it means if you do save them or do not, plastic surgeons – what to expect or not,\u00a0lumpectomies – pros and cons, etc.)\u00a0.\u00a0Got so stuck that I opted to take a day off – finish a darn good book and took part is some good old retail therapy.<\/p>\n
I’m happy to report that my day was fantastic – and my mood is MUCH improved. My energy came back\u00a0(the energy I seem to have lost earlier in the week after all of these discussions)\u00a0as did my positive attitude.\u00a0 My pocketbook may be a little lighter but you know what, it’s brand new and beautiful and I love it!\u00a0 Some days all I need is a hug from my daughter and I’m good again. Some days all I need chocolate. Today it was time to myself. Just gotta listen to your heart and look around you.\u00a0\u00a0 As Ferris Bueller said: Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
