The Monkees concert was FANTASTIC! The amphitheater at the MN Zoo is a perfect concert venue. Small enough so that no matter where you're seated, it's a good seat and the sound carries perfectly ...

I'm going to the Monkees concert at the MN Zoo tonight with Aaron, mum and Jan. Very much looking forward to an evening of silliness. It's a pretty small venue and I'm in the 7th row, so it shoul...

Had chemo #7 yesterday. Whee. Got back the results of my pulmonary function test and the DLCO, which measures something like diffusion of oxygen from lungs into the bloodstream or something, had ...

---

Another PB friend is doing something like this now, so I figured I'd hop on the bandwagon. Ask me all the things! I'm especially fond of weird, random, silly questions, but I'm up for anything. F...

Having a lazy day, ignoring the beautiful weather (I hope to go for a walk later, but when there's less sun so I don't have to slather on the sunscreen), counting my little dog's respiratory rate...

---

I have completed chemotherapy 6 of what should be 12. It'll be nice when I feel like I can start a countdown until I'm done, having more completed than left. Before my next infusion, I'm having...

---

Thank you for the photo requests! Keep them coming! I'll definitely be having fun working on them :) Chemo again on Tuesday. Blerg. I know it's doing me good, but it's definitely a hard thing to...

---

My mom and I keep buying the same clothing items. Apparently we want to be twinsies. In the past month, we've gotten both matching sweatshirts and tank tops and the same pair of shoes, but in dif...

---

I woke up at 6:30 this morning for some bizarre reason and couldn't get back to sleep. It was nice, though. I putzed online while everyone else slept. It was very cozy :) I discovered the photob...

Tomorrow is our 10th anniversary. It's amazing that Aaron and I have been together for a decade :) We don't really have anything planned aside from making something tasty and spending time togeth...

---

I had chemo today so I'm tired, but I didn't want to keep this news from you all, since you've all been so kind and supportive. I'll go into greater detail later when my brain is functioning more...

---

I hate the waiting game. The PET scan yesterday went well. The imaging center seemed very efficient. Once again, I was so thankful for my port so they didn't have to dig around for a peripheral...

---

I finally got the emails sent off to rotation coordinators, so now I just wait to see if they'll let me do their rotations. Oh, and I finally finished that bird paper paper the Monday before my l...

I've been really wanting to write an entry for the last few days but now that I'm here, my mind has gone blank. Oh! I wanted to thank all of you for leaving such supportive comments on my last ...

Today sucks. It's the day of the White Coat Ceremony for my class. Essentially, it's a ceremony that represents us coming closer to being members of the veterinary community and they have some of...

---

I've been working with two people in student services department trying to figure out what to do in the fall and I am so amazed by how helpful and caring they've been. They've been brainstorming ...

---

For not having a lot to do, I sure suck at updating! I had my most recent chemo treatment last Tuesday so I'm starting to feel more normalish. I've been experimenting on myself. Like I wrote in ...

---

I'm being bad and avoiding writing the paper I told my professor I'd try to have completed by the end of the month. It's like being in undergrad again. I have, however, finally gotten all of my s...

---

How is it already Saturday? Time has been passing so oddly lately what with me not really having a schedule. I'm getting really bored and antsy. I can't believe I miss school as much as I do. I r...

---

I have my second chemo treatment tomorrow. Whee. I'm a bit anxious but I think it should go OK if the first treatment was any indication. And it's outpatient so I get to go home once it's done. Y...

---

This whole being an invalid thing is kind of boring. It's nice not having the stress of school and I love watching hours of Golden Girls but...eh I miss doing something with myself. Well, it's no...

---

The fatigue from the first round of chemo seems to be pretty much gone. It wasn't that bad, especially as I didn't really have anything I had to do, so I could just randomly fall asleep whenever ...

---

First of all, I again want to thank you all for the incredible support! You're all so amazing :) I had my first chemo treatment on Saturday and it went far better than I ever could have imagined...

---

First of all, thank you all so much for your support. You guys give me all the feels and the outflow of positivity even from folks I've never interacted with is just so amazing. I hope to be able...

---

Blunt but true. The past few days have been...well, odd, to say the least. Going into the ER for what I thought was an upper respiratory thing or even pneumonia turned into a cancer diagnosis. ...
