Seriously, how many fire-drills can someone go through just to try to get to the next step of treating cancer? Got a call today that I need to have a chest x-ray, an updated physical and a covid test. Three separate things. It's Thursday afternoon, my surgery to get my port for chemo is Wednesday, …

Johnny 5, Overload
Today was an overload of information and slight panic attack of, how do I get all of this done. Started with follow up to plastic surgeon with the ultimate hopes of getting these two drains out of me! It hinders my ability to lift my arms all the way up, to wear normal shirts, because …
Play Ball!
This is actually a late post. I was looking at random pictures in my phone and came across a picture of myself that I deserve to give myself credit for. As many of you know, Brian and I have two boys, both of whom are on baseball teams. At some point our oldest talked us …
Oncologist (Not proctologist) Appt
Yesterday we met with my recommended oncologist. It's a surreal feeling walking into the office, as I am by far the youngest patient in there. I'm surrounded by warriors in their 60's or later. I'm not saying 60 is old, because it's not, but as a 44 year old woman, I felt out of place. …
Thank you and Dirty Talk
We are meeting with the oncologist today to discuss my customized treatment plan moving forward. Before all of that, I want to take a moment to really thank ALL of you for your continued love, support and well wishes. The Sherman family would not be able to navigate this road if it wasn’t for friends …
No More Titty Twists
Seems like Groundhog Day. Wake up, get kids ready for school, get them to bus and get in car to hospital. Didn’t I JUST do this 2 weeks ago? Sure did. This time, I’ll be walking out lopsided, missing my right nipple. No more titty twisting me, at least on the right side, for now. …
What you Talkin’ About?
I’m healing great. Only took paid meds for about 5 days. I’m moving around more, while also getting in trouble from hubby by doing so. Since posting on FB, I’ve had even more of an outreach from friends that have either been through exactly the same diagnosis, or something similar. It’s been amazing. I’m able …
Getting Rid of Boobie Baggage
So I've often thought before, if I could just loose a little weight in my big boobs I could wear button shirts. Well, I didn't literally it mean, if it meant losing the weight this way! While my amazing husband spent the weekend in Iowa, freezing, at a baseball tournament (can't thank him enough for …
Kids, They Know
We’ve done our best, or so we thought, of letting the kids know what’s going on. We tell them based on what would be age appropriate. Evan is 12 and Jesse is 7. You have to handle them differently. Brian did most of the talking, and I stepped in with, do you have any questions. …
Goodbye Boobie Party (and Happy Birthday)
Family is everything. Not much else to say there. It started with a girls trip, my mom and I, headed to Tomah to have a girls night with my mother-in-law. I was met with wine, flowers and cheesecake, my favorite. There might have also been some Old Fashions mixed in and of course a beer …
