Surgery Description, Dates & Side Effects:

Lumpectomy & Sentinel Node removal . . .April 24, 2008. Most of the pain was from the incision where they took the lymph nodes, it hurt for quite a while.

2nd Surgery . . . May 30, 2008 . . . Lumpectomy Re-do . . . the margins from my first lumpectomy were very small, so they needed to take more tissue. Because I don’t have a lot of tissue to take, he had to take extra skin from my breast and some muscle from my chest wall. The worst part about this surgery was the burning I would feel from the muscle behind my breast.

Radiation Description, Dates & Side Effects:

I don’t start radiation until after I’m done with chemo.

Chemotherapy Description, Dates & Side Effects:

I started Chemo on June 19, 2008 and as of today 7/7/08 I have only had 1 treatment. My second treatment is this week on Wednesday, July 9, 2008. I will have 6 chemo treatments, 3 weeks apart.
The worst side effect I had was from the Nulasta shot I had the day after chemo. The bone and body aches really kicked my butt. I was fortunate and did not experience any nausea.

On day 14 I started loosing my hair. It was coming out by the handfuls!! By day 16 I couldn’t stand it anymore so I buzzed it all off.

Thank you for giving me permission to use the image of the rose you took at your Mom’s house. I would like permission to use these others, also, if you don’t mind. I don’t sell the greeting cards. I just use them to give to my family on birthdays, anniversaries and special times instead of buying them at Hallmarks. I just enjoy making them and I can add my own personal touch to them. You do such a beautiful job. All of your images are soooooo beautiful.
Have a great day.
Hugs, Joyce

Hi Joyce,
Thank you so much for the compliments. This is usually something I never do . . . just let people use my images. BUT, this is different, so yes, you can use them. Just please, as you said, don’t ever sell them. And please keep my name on the images and if anyone ask or is interested in the images . . . send them my way :) e-mail . . . wendy@wildspiritphoto.com

Thanks,
Wendy
