Many 1st Anniversaries to Follow 多くの一年記念日が続く頃 Pose #449
From today on, many 1 year anniversaries are coming up for me. Exactly a year ago was the day I visited my family doctor requesting a mammography prescription for "just a check up." WOW, so many, I mean, so many things happened to me for this 1 year. Thank you so much for all of your supports to me from near to far. Knowing that I am not alone gave me the strength to be here standing strong today. Thank you!

Teaching Tuesday 火曜日授業の日 Pose #569
Killer heels. I love these heels, but I cannot walk too long with them. If wearing some very casual piece on your clothing such as sweat pants, also wear something very feminine together. This makes a look interesting and fashionable.

Teaching Tuesday 火曜日授業の日
I was successfully carrying an appropriate attitude to go with this outfit and short hair that I probably did not choose to do with long hair; feeling strong, bold and confident. The outfit, hair style, and the attitude, all well coordinated today. I would call my hair as a STYLE, rather than being forced to be the short hair due to the chemotherapy. (Yes, to be honest, I still often look at myself in shopping windows with my short hair, I can come across mixed feeling about it.) Finally, I started to feel that I did this style with my choice.

The Fault in Our Starts (Book) さよならを待つ二人のために
So many phrases I marked in this book, The Fault in Our Starts by John Green (2012). A fiction novel about a 16 years old girl, Hazel Grace, with thyroid cancer but now spread to her lungs. (The inspiration of this book came from the author's friend Esther Grace Earl.)

10th Targeted Therapy Day 10回目分子標的治療の日
All went well my 10th targeted therapy (for HER2 treatments of Herceptin and Parjeta) today. Since yesterday, I was drinking a lot of liquid to prepare for a smooth IV insertion. It went very smooth. I learned from the 6 times chemotherapy, a nurse needed to find a new vein each time to give extra break to the previously used vein. Because of the strong chemistry in the medicines, it can burn out the veins. I can only use my right arm, that added extra limitation. From my left arm, some lymph nodes have been removed and I cannot use that side for vital nor treatments.

Day29: Mindfulness -Body Mind Balance- マインドフルネス
29 days after my last chemotherapy. It is probably natural that I face intrusive thoughts today, after going through 4-5 months of tough chemotherapy. "Mindfulness" is one of the best approaches so far to deal with my emotion. (The picture was one of the stretches Kaori told me how, it helped blood circulation on my legs.)
