This is how I measure how looooong time ago chemo has been...
Barely growing back Nov. 29... oh yes, that was a big bag of Doritos... but not mine! ;)
Gettin some fuzz! Oh that is my new apartment... Dec. 2009
This picture is ewww but Im trying to prove a point eventhough you can't really see my hair... January 6, 2010... and if you can guess where I was then i will personally hand deliver a box of delicious Girl's Scout cookies I've been hiding from the boyfriend...
Vegas! (hint.) with my lover aka the Sanch... we always celebrate V-day in Vegas! the most romantic place on earth... Feb 2010... (awkward. We look like brothers except im cuter!)
And are you ready to see what it looks like in March???
TADA!
LOL OK SYKE. That's me and Tina, my wig. My awesome co-workers have decided to name it Tina because it looks like Tina Turner's hair.
Anyway, its still growing. It jumped from bald to fuzzy to awkward Asian boy face to helmet head to almost cute pixie cut. It's becoming so unmanageable! I actually have to brush it now and shampoo it...
Well, i hope you're glad to see I'm alive and kickin'. Hope this post fills you with some kind of warmness and sentiment that dead follicles can come back to life again and there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. The next post won't be soooo celebrating... so hope you get your fill on this one.
Love, Cathy...

不要吃五辛(葷菜，在古代宗教指的是一些食用後會影響性情、慾望的植
物，主要有五種葷菜，合稱五葷，佛家與道家所指有異。
近代則訛稱含有動物性成分的餐飲食物為「葷菜」，事實上這在古代是稱
之為腥。所謂「葷腥」即這兩類的合稱。 葷菜

在佛家另稱為五辛，五種辛味之菜。根據《楞嚴經》記載，佛家五葷為大
蒜、小蒜、興渠、慈蔥、茖蔥；五葷生啖增恚，使人易怒；熟食發淫，令
人多慾。[1]
《本草備要》註解云：「慈蔥，冬蔥也；茖蔥，山蔥也；興渠，西域菜，云
即中國之荽。」
興渠另說為洋蔥。) 肉 蛋 奶?!

Hey there. If you have a moment, I'd like you to take a look at a project I am the designer for. It's a t-shirt I designed to raise money for my co-worker's "Race for the Cure" team. It's really taken off and people love it. Trying to get the word out.

Cancer Diet - Minerals
A cancer diet needs a good balance of minerals because minerals are needed by all cells for proper function. Patients are often found to be mineral deficient, so this is an area of the diet that needs particular attention.
There are two classes of minerals. Macrominerals, such as the well known calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and phosphorus, and microminerals, such as boron, chromium, copper, iron, iodine, germanium, sulfur, silicon, vanadium, zinc, manganese and molybdenum.
The good news is we will get most of the minerals we need, provided we are eating a diet based on a wide variety of fruits and veggies, with the addition of nuts, seeds and grains.

Hello,
My name is Tina. I am looking for some women to spotlight during the month of October. I have a blog called Little Tots Big Ideas. I lost my sister to breast cancer at 37. It is a cause close to my heart. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, I want to spotlight a different woman every week. Please check out my blog at www.littletotsbigideas.blogspot.comYou can access my cancer posts by googling on the right side bar. If you are interested please contact me at littletotsbigideas@hotmail.com.
I hope to hear from you. Thank you for your time.
Tina
Cathy,
I noticed your blog and I feel I can help you out. I'm a doctor who treats cancer naturally. My medicine is food not drugs or radiation. Did any of your doctors address food as a cause or treatment? I have a new website up (still a work in progress) if you and your family are interested in seeing what we have to offer. chronicdiseasereversal.com This is not meant as spam, just an honest attempt to help. thank you for your time, dr.gbh
I just found your blog. As a fellow cancer survivor, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Also...Great Blog! You are a credit to the cancer blogging community. I have added you to my blogroll, “Cancer Blogs” with over 1000 other personal cancer blogs at www.beingcancer.net, a cancer networking site featuring a cancer book club, guest blogs, cancer resources, reviews and more.

And like bloggers everywhere, I love receiving your comments and ideas.

I was skimming through other blogs and yours caught my attention. I thought you might be interested to see what our school is doing to help fight breast cancer. We have raised over $10,000 in the past 3 weeks and 80% of our students are considered in poverty. It's a very inspirational story that might help peoples spirits.

Who or what corporation gave the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation a $43 million dollar donation in 2008? http://breastcancerbydrruddy.com/2010/12/20/komens-three-donors/
I noticed your blog while surfing for other cancer blogs.
My girl T goes in for surgery on March 2nd (4 days from now) sooooo scared. I worked in a cancer lab for 10 years and know enough to make me crazy scared.
She's tough...but the chemo and crazy side effects like neuropathy have taken their toll. Trying to stay strong for her, but starting to break, if you know what I mean.
Her Cancer had already spread to liver and lungs and lymph nodes, but have all disapeared with chemo except for the lump in the breast and lymph nodes under one arm. Surgery and radiation for those to come
Peace,
Kat
