I was off chemo last Friday and started to feel a little better.  It takes me longer to get back my energy now than when I first started treatment.  I had a CAT scan last Thursday and see the dr. this week for the results.  If the tumors are still "stable"  I may be going off chemo for what I call a chemocation.  We won't know for how long...it will depend on the next set of scans and an MRI.  I will have to go in to the Cancer Center every other week for an infusion of Avastin- a drug that cuts off the blood supply to the tumors, have a monthly infusion of the bone drug  and have a monthly shot.  Not quite sure what the shot is for- possibly a maintenance drug to cut off the estrogen to the tumors.   So- pray for good results for this Friday......I will be so disappointed if I have to continue chemo.  The chemicals seem to be just building up in my body and it is so difficult to rally and feel better.  Still all I want to do is sleep.  I woke up at 6 this morning to see Tyler off to school.  Molly Jo and I went back to bed until Linda Sue called at 9:45 wondering if I was still sleeping!  I was never a sleeper or a napper and that is all I want to do- sleep late and nap in the afternoon.  (So does Molly Jo my diva dog!)
Tyler is finishing up football this week.  It will be nice to have him home before 6 at night.  His last game is Th and I will just be overjoyed if we get done with the season injury-free!  Then only 3 years to go hoping he doesn't get hurt!  I am such a mom....
Please keep the prayers and positive karma going.  I appreciate everything!
