I am sitting here, pensively staring at my keyboard. I'm wondering how in the world I can express just how glad that I am that I had gastric sleeve surgery. My quality of life has improved 100%. Having the sleeve saved my life, too. I had undetected breast cancer when I was very heavy. My mammogram missed it due to the size of my breasts. Thank God that I lost this weight, because this year it was found and now I am cancer free. There is still a little way to go before ...
Independence Day came a day early for me. July 3rd marked the date of my last chemotherapy session. I was determined to go in there looking good to celebrate the day.

I still have it. In the closet. It's a wig! I also have a few short ones that look nice. ...
Hello Dear Sleevelings, I had my head shaved yesterday. It is just a matter of a few days before my hair is going to do a massive evacuation. It is a sure thing with the drugs I am being given. They told me it would be in fourteen to seventeen days after my first chemo and this gave me two or three days before " the fall."
