Good Report
My health is, as my favorite musicians say, Getting Better All the Time! I have my 9th chemo next week.
Even though I'll still have one treatment left in September, I'm going to Disneyland at the end of the month and then to visit grandmas again. =) Then it's finish law school time. One paper and two finals and I'm done! =D

Another Treatment Behind Me
Well, I had another treatment directly into my spinal fluid on Thursday July 26th. I felt horrible until Saturday morning. It's the kind of treatment you just have to sleep off. It's honestly nothing compared to what I've already been through before. Other than that, I'm feeling really well and can't wait to be done! 8 down, 2 to go.

7 Down, 3 To Go
I haven't written any sooner because there was no new cancer news to update my adoring fans. I have even been feeling well enough to travel. I visited Grandmas in Florida and college friends down in DC.
So I have the 8th chemo treatment in my head this month. Counting down to zero. Other than that, nothing to report on the health front.

New York Magazine
No autographs, PLEASE! If you haven't already seen the spread in NY MAG, you can see it online at http://nymag.com/news/features/2007/cancer/32123/index8.html
For those of you who know me, you know that the writer of my profile didn't capture my personality correctly. I was trying to convey the fact that the world around has moved on and I am stuck in the same place. You know I'm not boy crazy or trying to get preggers. I would also never say MY cancer is worse (not worst as the first line states) than others. Cancer sucks at any age, but little kids are very resiliant and older folks have already lived their lives. BUT for those of us in between, cancer comes at the a time in our lives when things are just getting started. Not to mention each experience with hospitals, drugs, side effects of chemo, etc. is different for everyone and each age group has there own issues (I could write a book about that alone - well I've considered many things while lying in a hospital bed). Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that I wanted readers to consider what it was like for me and others in my position (like they did in the other profiles) and I don't feel she captured it well at all.
And I could have used a whole spread just to talk about all the side effects and crap I dealt with. Her shopping list of ailments didn't convey half of the suffering. It almost sounded like no big deal. Just so you know, neutropenia and chemo brain are not the same thing. UGH!
WOW i guess this is why people have blogs... thanks for reading my rant =)
