Lately my social schedule is very full, so I haven't been writing as much. Mom and I got back from Max's graduation safely, driving 11 hours back to Houston in one day. I then got up and drove the 3 hours back to Austin. Since I've been back I've had lunch with the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls, a Kick-Off party for the MammaJamma bike ride in September, today I have a photo shoot for the Art Bra calendar, and Max stopped by on his way to get his stuff in Arlington, TX and take it back to his new home in Enterprise, AL. Keeping busy is the best thing that I can do right now. It is tiring but keeps me trolling the internet, constantly searching statistics trying to second guess myself and my treatment decisions. As my "breast buddies" in cowgirls say, "Bad idea." So I keep my mind and body busy, hoping that I've made the right choices.
Monday I have my FIFTEENTH round of chemo...only ONE more left!! After that I start right back up with my social schedule with a photo shoot on Wednesday (BIG thanks to Pavla for agreeing to take me) and the Art Bra show on Saturday May 22nd.
About Me
- Rachel
- I am a very amateur triathlete, who has been diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer at age 33. I grew up all over the country and spent my summers at Brown Ledge Camp in Colchester, VT, except for the summer I spend at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. I graduated from Hendrix College in 1999 and moved to Austin, TX where I currently live with my husband Cody and our cat Ophelia. We are active in the cycling and tri community here locally. We also like to travel and last year went to Playa del Carmen in Mexico, New Hampshire, and Honolulu.
