Chemo starts tomorrow

Hello everyone
Rachel Absher Photography <3

       I wanted to start by giving a super special “THANK YOU” to the incredibly sweet Rachel Absher. When Rachel first heard of my cancer diagnosis she messaged me and offered me a photo session.. I of course was very excited (as I normally am) to have family pictures made but I didn’t take her up on her generous offer until I found out that I needed to have chemotherapy. After that oncologist appointment I immediately messaged her and happily accepted. I wanted to have family pictures made before I started the treatments, before I started looking and feeling sick and of course before I lost my hair. Normally I have to talk Jon into having pictures made, it’s not something he particularly enjoys but this time he made no fuss and just said when and where and he even wore a sweater when I asked him to! I really enjoyed the session, Rachel has such a cheerful, calm, sweet presence and it was really fun. The kids had a blast and Tyson is still talking about Ms. Rachel. We met Rachel exactly five years ago, October 2009 when she took Tyson’s one year pictures, those pictures she took five years ago continue to be my favorites and I still have them hanging on our walls. Thank you again Rachel for capturing our family so beautifully, these pictures are truly cherished and bring the biggest smile to my face.  Here is a link to our photos on her blog http://www.rachelabsher.com/blog/?p=3770

October 10, 2014



                On to my yucky cancer update.. On Tuesday October 14th I had my 2nd fill. Fills are actually a fun appointment, I will probably only get 2 more fills so I will be done with that process before the end of the year.
2nd Fill! 10/14/2014
                I met with my Ocala Oncologist this morning and I start chemotherapy tomorrow Thursday October 16, 2014.  I am extremely nervous to start treatments; I would rather be going in to have another surgery than do this. I am hoping and praying that I do not have all of these horrible side effects that I’ve read about and been told about. I’m praying for very boring easy treatment(s) and a very easy boring few days after treatment(s). I am thankful I only need 4 treatments, since I’m starting this week and as long as nothing messes up the every 3 week treatment schedule I will be completed with chemotherapy the week prior to Christmas.
                All for now. XOXO, Lynn
