Hi Willow,
Ahhh such are the trivialities of life which make us cross at the best of times. I think I spent 6 months wondering why on earth people would focus on silly issues when certainly there were more important issues to be concerned about.
Fear still remains and anger with the joy - I put it down for me as the lack of control. I like neat and order and as a teacher my life is timetabled during the week, hour by hour I know what I am doing - then a tumour comes along and well the uncertainty creeps in and we are forced in many respects to confront an issue that perhaps we thought we didnt need to consider for a long time...
There is nothing wrong with you 🙂 *hugs* you are evaluating your life, with an unforgiving eye, knowing time is precious and working out where to devote your energy 🙂
Love and light to you xxxxx

He he 🙂 if I walked into the classroom with a daffodil painted at the back of my head I think the Headmaster would have a fit and keel over he he 🙂
Hope you get to sleep comfortably at least Joanna - thinking of you tonight.

Hi Babe,
And I call you a babe because you are one 🙂 Chemo does suck- Methotrexate shots in my spine was my lot in life and when a 'non chemo nurse does it with a non chemo needle' now that sucks.
You know what 🙂 I'm shaving my hair off 🙂 I didnt lose it (my hair that is) - I am doing the World's Greatest Shave 🙂 For Jules, for you, and for everyone here who has been on the cancer journey.
As for chemo brain, yep!! I hear you loud and clear and at 33, I already feel brain dead he he 🙂 well ok not THAT bad, but I don't have the 'quick as a whip' response I used to have.
I had to have a hyster and now could have early menopause even tho my ovaries are still intact but may have PCOS (Poly cystic ovarian syndrome) so yep there too!! 🙂
Hang in there, you are a beautiful soul inspiring so many 🙂 Keep on going
xxxxx

Although our school has our own "Shave for a Cure" team and you will be happy to know that there are Junior School (Prep-6) and Senior 7-12) students as well as teachers doing it (they have reserved me for next year as its hard to get teachers - so even it out he he!)
BUT I will have the bucket in the classroom and staffroom and students and staff can donate as they see fit 🙂 $1000 is the target, we are over 10%...I think we can do it 🙂 I think we can 🙂

Its for a good cause 🙂 as one student said "Miss you will either look really interesting or really gay, but for a good cause 🙂 "

Salutations everyone,
When I was diagnosed with my tumour I bargained with God and the powers that be that if I made it out 'alive' (the jury is still out on that one but so far so good) that I would do what I can to help.
There is a kinship I think that exists between cancer patients, regardless of age, type of cancer or location.
I had to have Chemotherapy to save my life and say goodbye to my unborn child at the same time prior to the Hysterectomy and tumour diagnosis. Through it all, we strive, we achieve, we carry on and sometimes we inspire.
You are my inspiration. Your stories of courage, your journey, your experiences, your heartbreaks.
So this one is for you such beautiful souls and kindred spirits.

Thank you for being such an inspiration.
Teach.
xxxxx
