Life is mostly froth and bubble, but two things stand like stone, kindness in another’s trouble and courage in your own." - Princess Diana

4 to go

I can't lie, I am so excited to know I have one month left of treatments! I have been so amazingly lucky to have minimal side effects but am looking forward to not feeling so tired and foggy. Four treatments seems so doable after completing twelve so far.
I have had some leg pain this week, and the most numbness in my fingers I've felt so far, but nothing some Advil can't handle. I had such good intentions of getting to both Level 10 workouts but I had another sick kid today. I felt so good last week, I actually was able to put some extra effort into my exercises.

I'm excited, and scared as hell, to be apart of The Power of Pink Fashion show this week. "The Power of Pink returns – a lavishly cosmopolitan evening showcasing Saskatchewan talent, including a fashion show, hors d’oeuvres, and an auction of original art and jewelry created by local, renowned professionals and celebrities. All proceeds benefit the Hospitals of Regina Foundation and Pasqua Hospital’s Breast Assessment Centre."
Professional models will strut their stuff on a runway in Saskatchewan Designers' clothing, while the finale features women who are in the middle of or who have beaten breast cancer, and will wear a specially designed piece as well as walk with a celebrity. I cannot believe I'm actually going to do this??!!
500 pairs of eyes on me, while I walk a runway. I spend half my life in a pair of gym runners and Lulu Lemon pants. Not to mention I'm wearing a wig and puffy from chemo and lying around for 5 months. But, it was such an honour to be asked, and I will forever use this experience to help others. The breast assessment clinic is an important place in diagnosing women and if it means I have to do something WAY out of my comfort zone, I'll do it. My husband's work, Captive Audience, generously bought tables to attend and show their support. And I have 16 friends and family who bought tickets to continue their unfailing support. I really can't thank everyone enough for such a large donation of their money but also their time and energy. I'm looking forward to having all of us be a part of such a special evening.
