I’m happy to report that I’m on the upswing from my last chemo treatment and finding a bit more energy each day. Tomorrow I have an appointment at St. Joseph’s Hospital to get my port-a-cath put in. This is the device that will save the veins in my left arm over the next year. It will be used to draw blood and to administer the chemotherapy. I have to be at the hospital around 8:30am and I think the actual procedure is at 10am. I’m going to be starving by time it’s done since I can’t eat anything after midnight tonight. I’m sure I’ll have lots of details to provide you with once I get home tomorrow. Yippee, another scar for my collection.
I think most of you know my stance on cancer; it’s not something I run and hide from, it’s something I turn and laugh at. Having said that, I’ve been introduced to a place that sells some great cancer t-shirts (thank you Andrea/Cathy). Here are some of my favourites. (Prepare for foul language – sorry Nan, Nana, GG.)
CCKMA – Cancer Can Kiss My Ass
My To Do List 1. Beat Breast Cancer 2. Take Over World
F*CK CANCER (no asterisk on the actual shirt)
I Had Cancer And All I Got Was This Stupid T-Shirt
Instant Survivor – Just Add Chemo
WARNING – I Have Received Radiation Therapy. If You Can Read This You Are Standing TOO CLOSE!
I’m not sure I could wear #3 without a lot of explaining to Andrew and Sean. Maybe I’ll pick another one.

Hey Kim:
I knew that Groves "collecting" gene was going to get to you somehow!!! Stamps, scars - I guess one can pretty much collect anything these days:)
The #2 T-shirt sounds very much like you - love it. Question - do they make T-shirts for us "bus riders" as well? It would be fun if we all were wearing our "F*^$ Cancer" T-shirts to the Pink Party at the end of all this. Is there a website we can go to to place our order?
Keep Swimmin'

My dear Kim, so glad you are feeling your old perky self,you'd never complain anyway. I hope the little darlings are keeping well[including Steve].Well i guess we asked for the rain, and now it does'nt know when to stop. I've been watching the robins having a tug of war with the worms. Always thinking and praying for you, love and kisses to you all love NAN.
Hey,
The T-shirt idea is great! I think we need a slogan suited to Kim...
I put out the challenge to all the blog readers to come up with something original for the Pink Party!!
