One Week Anniversay

One week ago, April 21, I found out I have cancer. It seems like forever. In one week, I've had more blood drawn and had scans, etc.and they are still not through. I'm totally exhausted. I went today to get in infusion for my high calcium levels. They said I should feel better tomorrow. I also had a lady from the Cancer Society talk to me about what they could do for me. I told her I've only known from one week, and I do not know what I need. I don't know anything about my treatments and if I did I do not know how I will respond. She was a principal that had breast cancer, so we have a lot in common. I hope I see her again. My next big appt with Dr. Bala is Friday, and I think my entire family will be with me. More and more info keeps coming in from the pathologist resports.

I went to school this morning, but couldn't last. I was shakey and sweaty, and those are symtoms of high calcium. it's like a little wine is good for you, but a lot of wine isn't. I will be back tomorrow!!! I will be ready to go full speed, so watch out kids!!

I had a former student respond to my blog yesterday, and it really got to me. His words of encouragement meant the world to me. It's really funny the way the kids just know your whole personality.

My parents are coming tomorrow and I'm like a little kid that is so excited to see her parents. I hope I look good tomorrow. I'll just have to use more Mary Kay. I've got the tools, so I'll use them.

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and I really get a kick when someone describes my personality!! So funny!!! So far, I've just been down one day. And, I've only known for one week.
