Linda, Tia and Lynn...
Ok Helene...I have reinvited these ladies to join the blog. They have to set up an account to blog-Google seems easiest!!! Hope it works!!!
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!!!
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!!!
been busy
When I feel better, I tend to over do things.....I have been pretty busy lately and forgot about the blog. Plus we are in baseball season....and the schedule is intense. The coach over scheduled games with the idea we would have a lot of rainouts......no rainouts this week and the only day off was Mon. with d/h on the weekends. I really like going to Tyler's games....and want to go to as many as I can.
I have chemo tomorrow and then the next Fri. The week I am off I will be getting a CAT scan to see if the tumors are shrinking and a port put in as my veins have taken a beating. Next Th. Denise and I are going to Rush for a second opinion. It took this long to get an appt. I just want to make sure I am on the right treaatment regime. I trust my oncologist and he even ecourages 2nd opinions.
Lisa G brought over a great meal on Sunday. Sunday seems to be my worst day....it was nice to have a hot meal for Rob and Tyler. I seem to still have a appetite....I was hoping to lose a few pounds...and with a 3 pound bag of Robin Eggs from Tia and a ton of chocolate- that is just not happening!
I sm hoping to go to bunco tomorrow- I may need a little nappypoo....but it sure is nice to see friends and be normal (as normal as I cna be!)
I am grateful for the beautiful weather and for my family and friends. I need all the help I can to kick this cancer in the a_ _!

ps. Kim- how do people blog on this thing? My sister, Tia and Lynn want to write stuff- but can't figure it out. I think Linda wants to save her reputation....she thinks I write too many nice things about her!

So happy that you are feeling the tumor shrinking!! That's what we are looking for!
I had a great time with you on Thursday! That walk along the river was very refreshing. But your company was the best! Lunch at Tangerine was delicious, too.
And not to worry about going commando. I loved that pink hat on you!!

Love the good news!!!
So glad to hear your good news!!! So glad you have friends and famiy with you! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!
ooops!
I keep hitting enter and it posts the title. So this goes with the dr visit title.
Linda and I got there around 11:30 and it felt like we were there 2 days instead of 5 hours! The dr. was running late- back from his vacation (the nerve of him taking a vacation! He visited his wife's aunt who is a nun in a home for nurses....) Rob came and I think the 3 of us waited over an hour to see Dr. Kash- who we like. He does not rush his patients out and really listens. So I guess that is worth the wait.
GOOD NEWS! My blood counts are great!! The tumor in my neck feels smaller to him (and to Denise and I). I go for 2 more chemo treatments then a CAT scan to see what's up. In the mean time I need to get a port (no not wine) because my veins are not the best- after the last time I had b/c. They can only use one arm so back to the surgeon to get a port put in.
Linda and I were loaded up with goodies for the chemo party- plus she brought in all the new "rags' to see who is gay in Hollywood ect. and Tia walks in to join our party! She was loaded down with goodies plus a 3 pound bag of Robin Eggs! Where does anyone find a 3 pound bag? Having Tia come by made the time go faster- she is such ray of sunshine. Not that Linda and I aren't but we are getting a little too used to this routine.
Nurse Ratchett was off today! Had good nurses- so that helps! Michelle the plebotomist is still my favorite- she made sure we had a private room and is just so sweet. Warmed blankies...pillows yeah I am living the High Life!

BAD NEWS .....When Rob asked the dr how long I will be on chemo....it is indefinite..He has one patient in my similar situation who has been doing through this over a year. The options are pretty much wait and see....I may be able to tolerate this or I may need one of the chemo drugs with oral meds.
