This turned out to be a very good weekend. Other than a few twinges of nausea and the usual fatigue, I felt good. Saturday afternoon I went to cheer on my neighbor at the town talent show. She was number 4 out of 70 acts, and we (her parents and 5-year-old sister) gamely stayed until the end -- FIVE HOURS later -- to see if she won a prize. There was only one other person in her category, but she was about 17 (versus 9-year-old Brieanne) and played and sang an original song. How could "The Amazing Brieanne" possibly compete with that? Despite not winning, Brieanne did a terrific job and didn't look at all nervous. I was very proud of her. I also guilted her mother and little sister into inviting me over for a piece of Brieanne's birthday cake yesterday (I'm so bad). FYI: Costco makes a good cake.
A few hours after the birthday cake, Ed and I went out to Panera for dinner and then to Barnes & Noble for a CD sale. I usually never go out on "chemo weekends" -- except to the library -- so this was an unusual weekend for me. I'm guessing that next weekend will not be quite as good, so I enjoyed it while it lasted. I am suffering with a little bit of nausea this morning, but I'm hopeful it will disappear once I have my cereal.
Thanks to all for keeping up with my blog and have a wonderful week!

About Me
- Karen
- I am a woman in her late 40s who was enjoying life when cancer came along and threw a monkey wrench in the whole business. This is the story of my fight against Leiomyosarcoma, a rare smooth muscle cancer that started in my left fibula (ankle bone) and has since spread to my pelvic bone, skull, and lungs. It's also the story of a woman trying to continue to enjoy life despite the complications cancer causes.
