Told my kids about the recurrance

I just had the heart today to tell my kids about the recurrance. I had too, since my hair will soon be gone again. It was definately a low point on this journey. My six year old son moved on like it was nothing but my nine year old daughter could not understand why it did not work the first time. She seemed pretty concerned. Unfortunately, one of her friend's mom died of breast cancer two years ago.

I tried to answer all her questions as best as possible. Just feeling a little blue today. Tomorrow will be better. God grace is new each morning.

Taxotere is definately kicking my butt so I hope it is kicking cancer butt. Rash seems to be the same but the breast does not seem to feel as warm to the touch. Sorry, I know I'm giving you a blow by blow here but I feel the need to vent. Need to get it out so I can focus on the business at hand. Thanks for being a safe place to share my thoughts.

Hugs,
Tonya
