Why I Wore Lipstick...

Yesterday's treatment went well, that being no reactions. Patty started feeling a little queasy yesterday afternoon which continued throughout the night. This morning she was feeling about the same. These drugs definitely make her more nauseous than the first she received.

We watched a good movie last night that we could really relate to on The Lifetime Network. The movie is "Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy". It is a true story about Geralyn Lucas who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 27. It tells their story of struggles and achievements throughout her diagnosis and treatment. We could really relate because she was young and her husband was a doctor. With Patty being young and me being in the medical field it was eerily similar to our situation except no kids. It definitely helped me in the fact seeing someone going through the same thing we are. Sometimes you get this feeling your alone on an island with this and the movie helped me in that regard.

I'm glad to say that Geralyn is now a 11 year survivor and has had two children since her diagnosis and treatment. You can click on the links above to learn more. They are going to air the movie again on October 28 at 9 p.m. on the Lifetime Network. If you want an inside viewpoint on some of the things Patty and I have experienced then mark you calendars for this Saturday night.
