year end update 2014

What a year I had. Survivor breast cancer with lumpectomy and particulate breast radiation and taking Tamoxifen to reduce it coming back don’t know if I like it or not thing it giving me brain fog. It is in the back of my mine mind, is the cancer completely gone. Started using a CPAP machine sleeping better more now with a new type of mask.

Started watching how I ate in April beginning weight 236 down to 200.

Finishes in 2014: two crochet kids hats, 2 little girl scarves, cabbage patch wig, small beaded snowman ornament, beaded candy cane, part 1 and 2 of shepherd’s fold, yellow needlepoint pillow, two bead-it-forward square, patriotic beaded square, nativity table topper, and a crochet prayer shawl did not get pictures of all the completed projects

What did I work on two Japanese Embroidery projects Flower Ball and Moon Princess. Two projects from EGA seminar. Wool Applique: one from CyberStitchers and another one did part of it but there are 12 parts to this one. Part three of shepherd’s fold. Some other starts more UFO’s.

Update on life

Five months since I found out I had DCIS.

Still having some fatigue at times and little soreness.

Using a CPAP machine not to many problems.

Started taking Tamoxifen on April 22.

Weight 236.6 lb. going to try Trim Healthy Mama ways of eating.

update on life

Having surgery again on Feb 18, for mine DCIS to remove more tissues to widen the margin. Hopping that will means no radiation or hormone treatments. Even if they suggest radiation or hormone treatments their are to many side effects with both.

Also I been having problem staying asleep. Found out mine oxygen levels drops when I sleep. So I am on oxygen when I sleep it helping sometimes. Don’t know the reason yet for this problem hope to find out soon.
