Last week of treatment

Thank You Jesus!!!! This is the last week for treatment. Each day I'm feeling better and better. I still have some days that I throw up, in pain, nauseated and at times dizzy. However, I still realize that it could be worse. As most of you know, prior to being diagnosed last year, I went back into business for myself (music business). I had to put things on hold when I was told that I needed a second surgery. I am now working on building my business again since treatment is complete. In the meantime, I just took on a temporary project of teaching seminars. I started on 11/23/09 and really like teaching and inspiring. I should have my website up and running by January so that you can check the schedule for a music business seminar that you may be interested in,

Thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers. I am sure that prayer is a big part of why I came through this storm so well. So, if you have a friend or loved one that needs prayer, send me the name and we all will pray for them until they have a break through.

Update

Last week wasn't the greatest week. However, this has been a great week other than the doctor telling me on Tuesday that I won't be finished with treatments until Dec. 1st. Anyway, we'll just keep it moving.

There is so much that people don't tell you about the side affects of these treatments. I guess because some of the side affects are so disgusting. For example, a foul smelling fluid sometimes leaks from my under my already hurting fingernails. Some women experience this from the breast that they had surgery on so I guess I should be thankful because it could always be worse.

"Ride for a Cure"

For some reason I didn't feel too well from last Wednesday through Saturday. It is truly amazing what these treatments can do to your body. I threw up for two days and was just fatigued the other days. I started feeling better on Sunday.

I really want to take out this moment to thank the Buffalo Soldiers and the Sistah Soldiers for doing "A Ride for a Cure" for breast cancer in my honor this past Saturday. A big Thank you to a very good friend of mine named Evelyn who owns Evelyn's Creations located at 4725 W. Concord Street in Orlando, Florida for coordinating this entire event and was also the biggest sponsor. There were over 40 bikers who participated. This was my first experience riding on a motorcycle. It was so much fun! I was so amazed and blessed to see what these guys and ladies did just for me. The event started at 10a and ended around 2p. We had fried fish, grits, hush puppies, sausages, cake and more. Everyone shared stories of family members, loved ones and friends who had battles with cancer.

Three and half more weeks to go with radiation! I feel okay today. I can't wait to celebrate!
