Feeling Fine & Doing Fine

Hi Guys!

Well I am doing sooo much better now. I have gone back to work and am truly feeling almost normal. One of my coworkers said today "Nina you really look normal!" I said only now would I take this as a compliment. I knew what she meant.

I was out until Tuesday. But I went back to work and now I really do feel pretty much normal again. I have learned to slow down and not rush around and just take my time which is a great excuse if I forgot to do something!!! Oops, I forgot my boss may be reading this, just kidding I would never use excuses!!!! ;-)

So now some of you want to know how I felt. Well I have no words for it. I've never felt that bad before. The day after chemo was like a really bad hangover, but the days that followed............again I have no words. My body ached, I was sick to my stomach and didn't want to eat (now you know I must have been really sick!!!!) just sleep when I could. But by Tuesday I was just tired.

The only lingering issue is killer heartburn which is an effect of chemo but my doctor adjusted some meds and it's much better!

When I get a little too eager my body reminds me to sit my booty down! But all in all it's pretty good.

I look forward to seeing some of you next week. I will be home Thursday evening but please be aware, I am coming home for a wedding so Friday evening & Saturday belong to Tammy & Ed!!!!

I also met with my geneticist on Monday. The test revealed that...................................
I AM A MUTANT!!!!!!!! Okay seriously, I do have a mutation in the last letter of the last strand of my DNA or BRCA1 positive. If that makes sense to any of you. In other words I am predisposed to have breast and ovarian cancer. So now I have some other decisions to make!

Well that's all for now! Hope to see some of you, talk to others and just know that everyone else is thinking about me!

Smooches!
