My name is Laurie McCloud Bright. I am 44 years old and have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. This is my story.... Women are Angels, and when someone breaks our wings we simply continue to fly.....on a broomstick.....we are flexible like that. ((If you want to read from the beginning, go to the first post in January and read them in chronological order (that means oldest date first :) UPDATE: I HOPE TO HAVE BEAT BREAST CANCER!!! SO FAR SO GOOD!

Phase II Chemo - Taxol Round 1
I didn't post yesterday because I was too sleepy at chemo!! They give you a bag of Benadryl which knocked my butt out!! Taxol has so far been pretty good to me. Dr. Yoda said that is would be a "piece of cake" compared to the last stuff I had so I found that to be very reassuring. And knock on wood, but I feel just fine today, the DAY after chemo!! Who would have thunk it???? I am so glad too, I feel like a productive member of society now!!
I will continue to lose hair, not that I have much left but I am hoping to retain my eyelashes and eyebrows, but I don't think that will happen.....I am not looking forward to returning to my nickname "Lashless Laurie". I lost my eyelashes one summer in a drinking accident....don't ask, we'll just keep it as simple as that. And everyone called me Lashless Laurie that summer and I didn't enjoy the nickname. But I have to admit it was kind of funny!
We are attempting to get our own team t-shirts made for Relay for Life. They will say "I'm Too Sexy for my Hair" so if you have not signed up online, let me or Kristi Myers know if you would like to be on our team so we can order you a t-shirt, ASAP! Cuz we need to order them soon! Relay for Life is June 1st from 11am - 11pm, South Hardin Track in Eldora.
