Sometimes It Is The Road....

When I first started this blog, and decided on the  title, I did feel as though it really wasn't so much about the road I was on, but the journey that would get me to the end.  What I've come to realize is it is most definitely the road.  The road has become the people I've met along my journey. Some of the people I have only "met" in the cyber world, some I have not met at all; I only know them indirectly from other friends.  I have bittersweet feelings about this; I am happy to have met them, but very unhappy over the circumstance which brought us together. Cancer is what we have in common, not school, not work, not familial relationships...CANCER.  For those who kind of keep up with my musings, I've said all along, I will answer anything...most topics have not been off limits when it comes to the cancer subject.  Of course the   exceptions are: my discussion with my children, the full hair loss story, and the cosmetic part of the reconstruction.  I cannot honestly say I will ever share the discussion I had with my children, a girl has to keep somethings to herself and it was an extremely private moment.  The full hair loss story??? I don't know that there is really much more to add to that other than some emotional reactions, but if you really want to know, ask me.  OH....my first visit to a barber to have my head cleaned up was interesting for 3 reasons, 1. I've never been to a barber, 2. He used a straight razor on my head, and 3. He CUT me..right above my ear!!! Burned like a SOB!!  Still kind of funny. And the full cosmetic part of the reconstruction...I don't know...we'll see.
I had thought about ending this blog, but as I said above, I've "met" some women who are new on this road and if any of my ramblings inspire them to ask questions, of anyone not just me, well then I'll keep typing away. If they take away a sense of encouragement, empathy, or "thank God...I thought it was just me" well then, I'll be here.  So ladies, you know who you are, I want you to know you're not alone in this...whether it's this blog, your friends, your family, or a support group, you are loved and people want to help you; let them.
Ask me anything, vent here if you want....much love to you all.
And as usual, ta, ta for now!!
