5 years!

Last time I wrote on this blog was 5 years ago. It's insane. I am amazed, blessed, and overjoyed to still be here.
Where do I begin to pick up from 5 years ago? Here is the quick version:
Still fighting cancer, still married, still saving dogs, still traveling, still loving God, still learning, still growing.
Guess that wraps it up. I could go on and on about having brain radiation, or taking a different chemo regimen every 4-6 months, or losing all my hair 3 more times in addition to the 2 times when I started this journey, or even waxing poetic about all the spiritual growth I have made. But, I won't go into all that. A mere mention is enough. I know where I have been and the details aren't important. From this point on, I will detail more. Of course only if it's interesting, happy, sad, or just whacked out.
What am I dealing with this very moment? As in,what's itching me? It would have to be the fact that I am living in 95 degree weather, 100% humidity daily, and I have no hair. It downright sucks. I have been wearing knitted caps with air holes for ventilation. Bandanas are t00hot, as they trap in heat. Forget wigs. And I hate baseball caps. I am waaay too girlie for those.
I just feel so insecure having no hair. Living in one of the vanest cities in the world, where women have hair down to their butts well into their 40's, is tough. as of now I still have a speckle of hair surrounding my face, so if I wear a beret, I can get away with not looking totally bald. I just look like I am trying to be French. Which I guess is ok. There are worse things to emulate. Like, women in their 40's with hair to their butts trying to look like they are in their 20's. Still, I remain jealous. Envious. Whatever. I just want my hair back!!!!
What else? I have new growths of lymph node tumors growing in my axilla (armpit) and neck regions. Not sure about the internal ones, but I bet they aren't any better. I will have a full body scan (PET) soon to see what's up. I sense a change in treatment YET AGAIN!!!!
Going to NY next week. Looking forward to going "home". Seeing Alina in her new apartment and meeting her new boyfriend will be very cool. My "sister from another mister" is growing up! LOL
No huge rambles for now. Trust me there will be more!
