The following pictures are of me during my cancer journey. I hate having my picture taken, especially when I look terrible, which explains the small number of pictures. Just know that I really would love to lose 65 pounds, I'd love to have my beautiful hair back, and I'd love to not have all the wrinkles. With those things in mind... here I am.

Pictures from my first time at the chemo center


This is the nurse trying to find my port - I hate needles. I don't look too happy to be there. I wasn't - I was scared to death of my first chemo treatment.

Wow! That hurt! I didn't have any numbing cream to put on my port that first time - having a needle stuck into your chest sucks!

The nurse flushing my port - it makes the back of your mouth taste like a skunk!

Dr. Bott - my oncologist

Talking to my dad on the phone while I waited to get my chemo drugs for the first time.

The drugs. I'm hooked up now. When the nurse hooked my first drug up (it was just an anti-nausea drug), I started crying.

So far, so good. Not sick yet.

Talking to Shelley - the social worker at the cancer center.

My mom, Barbara. She was my chemo partner. She came with me almost every time.
