On August 23rd, my sister Traci was diagnosed with breast cancer and her battle began. But cancer picked the wrong girl to mess with. Traci is one of the toughest chicks I know. For example, she got her MBA while working and parenting a toddler (Jack)...oh and did I mention that she was also pregnant with Ryan? She's definitely a warrior through and through so cancer doesn't stand a chance.

Round 2

Last Wednesday Traci went in for her 2 chemo treatment.  Things were much quicker and when I texted her at 11:30, she was already home.  That afternoon the nausea set in again and she went to bed early to try to sleep through the worst of it.  On Thursday she returned to work for a half day before going in for her Neulasta shot.  This time they suggested that she take Aleve instead of Advil to help prevent the intense headaches.  Fortunately it worked!  The other good news is that Traci hasn't lost her hair yet.  She is at an American Cancer Society beauty class tonight to learn some tricks from makeup to wigs to scarf tying for when she becomes bald and beautiful!
