The Radiation machine and me....





Well there it is the machine and me. This thing that I say zap's me. The people who take care of me are amazing! That's Al walking in the one picture. When you work with cancer patients I say they are angles who walk on this earth. I don't understand how or way they do their jobs. But I thank god they are here.

Oh we didn't want to scare anyone with my bum so they covered it up....that's where they zap me :)

Radiation......eeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkk!

OMG! Nothing like having your bum out there for all to see.....ugh! Yeah I have to lay on my tummy and pull those sweat pants down so far....and there it is....my butt! Gee it was a little cold in there.

It took about an hour to get everything ready then it took 1 min & 30 seconds for each spot they hit. The bad thing is it's on my wasit line. So I wonder when I won't be able to wear jeans....eeekkkkkkkk!

Well need to get to bed because I have 4 more days of this for this week. 22 rounds of radiation I have to do. So 1 down and 21 to go.

:)

Have a great week everyone!!

Just sit and laugh when you know I'm hanging out there for the world to see....wonder if I will get goose bumps on my bum?? Too funny :)

Snow...snow...& more snow!







Good Times










Christmas 2009





















Just thinking.

I'm sitting here listen to my Windows Media Player. The song Amazing Grace starts to play by ILDivo. Their voices are amazing. I just remember my sister in law Gina and I talking about this song. I think of the song when their dad pasted away. She thinks of it for her daughter Grace. As I listen to it now, it really makes me think. I think of all kinds of different things.

"The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures."


Maybe this whole cancer thing is just god's way of showing how strong I can be. And for those around me how strong they can be. The good that has come out in this whole thing is how close my families are to me. When I say families that means my side and Steve's side.

My children will learn how to be strong when time's are tough. To show love anytime and get it in return. That you can face anything god throw's your way. That we are all here on earth for a reason. Guess mine was to be with Steve and 5 amazing kids. Which I am thankful every second of the day to have them. Even when they drive me nuts. But hey it's a part of life a part of growing up.

I think we all should take a look at our lives and correct the wrong to make right. To treat others as we would like to be treated. Help others when they are down. To pick them up. Show love to all. Be thankful for what we have and those we have in our lives.

My eye's are open. Opened to the whole world. I'm thankful for everyday that I get up and see my family.....What are your eye's opened to? What are you thankful for? Maybe this is a wake up call for all of us.

Life is Beautiful...............

Gee what a day..did some house work with my music blasting....and my fav song comes on..LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.....And yes it is! But doing house work isn't so beautiful....LOL!It just makes my day a normal day and takes my mind off of it.

This is what I have to say to everybody today.....

Live with Passion....

Live with.....

Faith
Family
Friends

Let music lead your soul to happiness.....

When you hear the song "Over the Rainbow" just know that dreams really do come true.
I had a dream to go to college and I did. I want everyone to get out there and live a dream or 2. I have dreams for my children, to be strong , out going, speak their minds, stand up for what is right and not be afriaid to do so. To go to college. Get good grades. To find the love of their lives when their old enough.

Note to Sophia....sorry my sweet little girl....your going to have such a hard time with all your brothers, cousins, and all your "Other" big brothers looking out for you....LOL!

I want them to be the person I've taught them to be. But most important to have a heart filled with joy and happiness.

Everyone don't waste one moment on being mad at someone. Be the bigger person, turn the othere check and be the person I taught you to be. Live life to the fullest.

God doesn't give you what you can't handle. He believes I'm the one to lead this fight, the fight of my life. So be it. BUT I have news for him...............I'M NOT GOING ANY WHERE! I'M HERE FOR 42 MORE YEARS!

So for all my family and friends...don't be upset for me. Don't cry anymore. Don't be mad anymore.
Just take this time to understand that I love you all. Take this time to understand that I am who I am and I will fight. I have too much to live for and too many people I love!

Do I have regrets in this life time.....NO....if I could I'd live it all the same. I have so many wonderful people and things in my life...Steve, Nicholas, Adam, Jory, Sophia, Seth, my family and such wonderful friends. Nope wouldn't change a thing.

I've lived, loved and lost along my way in life....No regrets.....

Oh....there is 2 things I love to do...meet the rest of Motley Crue.....LOL!! Yes that is my all time fav band! I'm an 80's girl! I have met Nikki Sixx....he's really nice & sweet. I also met James Michael from Nikki's other band. James is so very nice. He's a great guy. Would love to met Dj Ashba. I want to see Motley Crue and Sixx A.M. in concert AGAIN!! Laugh as you must but that's on my list....Yes I know I'm still a dork but I love being who I am!

From the song "Love me if you can" By: Toby Keith

You many not like where I'm going but you should know where I stand...hate me if you want to but love if you can.....And from my fav band, Motley Crue.......

"With out you"

Without You, There's No ChangeMy Nights And Days.
Are Grey If I Reached Out And Touched The Rain It Just Wouldn't Feel The Same Without You, I'd Be Lost I'd Slip Down From The Top I'd Slide Down So Low Girl You'd Never, Never Know...

Without You, Without You A Sailor Lost At Sea Without You, Woman The World Comes Down On Me Without You In My Life I'd Slowly Wilt And Die But With You By My Side You're The Reason I'm Alive But With You In My Life You're The Reason I'm Alive But Without You,

Without You...Withouy You, My Hope Is Small Let Me Be Me All Along You Let The Fires Rage Inside Knowing Someday I'd Grow Strong Withouy You, With out You A Sailor Lost At SeaWithout You, Woman The World Comes Down On Me With out You In My Life I'd Slowly Wilt And Die But With You By My Side You're The Reason I'm Alive

But With You In My Life You're The Reason I'm Alive But Without You, Without You...I Could Face A Mountain But I Could Never Climb Alone I Could Start Another Day But How Many, Just don't Know You're The Reason The Sun Shines Down And The Nights,
They Don't Grow Cold Anly You That I'll Hold When I'm Young Only You...
As We Grow Old Without You In My Life I'd Slowly Wilt And Die But With You By My Side You're The Reason I'm Alive But With You In My Life You're The Reason I'm Alive But Without You, Without You...


That is for Steve, the man I've loved since I was 17 yrs old and always will love more........

The Cancer is back.

Well it's back. Not the new's we wanted for our new year. So the breast cancer came back in my pelvic bone.

This site will now be for my updates and pictures for family & friends. I can't call everyone all the time due to my running to treatments and just for the fact I can't always talk about this here is my blog. I must be at all times positive about anything and everything.

Plus to put it right out there if I make jokes about this cancer and what I'm going through, well let's just say if you don't like it get over it! This is how handle it. I'm scared because I am fighting for my life. So jokes and laughter is how I deal with it. This cancer isn't going to go away. Let's face it, it is terminal. BUT....I'M FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT HERE! I WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING IT.

Please leave comments if you wish. Leave me jokes or whatever you want. POSITIVE comments....thank you.....

I love you all and just keep all of us in your prayers.

Love you all much....

Juli
