Decided what, you ask? Well, I think I have decided to go ahead with trying to write a book of some sort. Yes, indeed. I figure the challenge will be writing it, not sure about the publishing part. It’s pretty easy to publish an e-book on Amazon these days. We’ll see. I started keeping a […]

A bit of good news!
So the CT scan results came in last week and it was all good news! No signs of cancer in my pelvic area! There was one teeny tiny nodule in my right lung which may be totally benign. Since there was no prior scan for comparison, they are going to do another can in […]

So today is Twisted Kismet’s third anniversary! Time sure does fly! We’ll start with a brief update. I am officially done with the treatment plan and feel like I have mostly recovered. Next up will be a CT scan later on this week to determine if the treatment worked. I am feeling a bit anxious […]

I know. I have neglected this blog for a long time….don’t take it personally. I just haven’t been in the mood to write here, there, or anywhere. It’s been a strange couple of months. So I have two more rounds of chemo under my invisible belt and only ONE left to go. I hope, fingers […]

So it’s been almost three months since I lost my hair. Since then, I have also lost my eyebrows and most of my eyelashes. You never realize how much of a difference it makes to have eyebrows until they are gone. Seriously. I blogged about the hair loss before and how traumatic it was for […]

So the waiting is over, sort of. I got the call last Monday afternoon from the hospital that the radiation plan was approved and they could start Wednesday afternoon. Thank goodness. The first thing I did was count down the days on a calendar. The second thing I did was start looking for flights to […]

It has been a week of waiting. I am beginning to hone my patience skills. Last Monday was actually the best day of the week. It was Chance’s “anniversary” at doggy daycare so I baked cupcakes and bought specially doggy cookies for him and his “best girl”. He and Kahlua have been an item for […]
