Monday we go to Tampa where I start 5 days of radiation. The Captain and I both agree that the decision to not go through with the last chemo treatment better prepares me for the upcoming radiation treatments. I feel stronger and the chemo is almost out of my body so not feeling many of…
Hello sweet friends. I know I am past an update for you, but I wanted to wait until I made another trip to the Moffitt Cancer Center to “assess” where we stand. Praise God…..He has answered prayer, To God be the Glory, great things He has done… thanks to your many prayers going to Him…
Dear friends, Remember I told you the Captain decided to give me something to look forward to, rather than more chemo….(more on that later)….so he brought in several of our sub-contractors from our flip houses to update parts of our kitchen. in order to keep costs down, I suggested using existing cabinets. Cost and re-habing…
Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! Dear ones…thank you so much for all your well wishes and prayers and cards and letters. What a wonderful support group and you will never know just how much you all mean to me….and how much you have lifted my spirits. I have so much to be thankful for this Holiday…
This is going to be quick my dear sweet readers…but I just have to take the time to tell you how well I am doing these days. After that harrowing time of blood clots and such in the hospital…I am doing very well. There are 3 different nurses and social workers checking on me weekly…
Oh my sweet friends and followers…The past 11 days have been a journey in itself. I will update you on the happenings of late. It started on my chemo day….I was so weak, I told the captain i didn’t think I was strong enough to get in the car and go. But, with his help,…
Hello dear sweet friends…. I have to tell you that I feel really good today! In fact, since the doctor’s have modified my chemo into a ‘not as strong dosage’…I am almost feeling normal, or as normal as one could feel with just a little “sickness”. The most important part is, I am beginning to…
Good morning sweet friends. What a beautiful day it is ….and since I do the “chemo thing” on Wednesday,…. the preceding Monday and Tuesday are usually pretty good days as the chemo is “wearing down”….and then we start all over again. I was sitting on my lanai this morning literally counting my blessings. I have…
woo hoo my dear readers! Well maybe a little toot… The Doctors modified my Chemo treatment and I was/am tolerating it pretty well…. But as with all “drugs”…there are side effects. ;( I would list the side effects, but I can’t talk as fast as those ads on TV for drugs….where they reel off a…
I am still here dear readers….just a lot has happened in the shuffle through Chemo, doctor visits, emergency room visits, hospitals, highs, lows and all of that in between. I really don’t know how people manage all of the above without a faith of some kind, because the going can get rough and tough. If…
ok…I might as well get this right out there. My hair is gone. It was literally falling out in clumps and I was beginning to look like the poor dog with the mange in the movie “Steel Magnolias” So my sweet Christine hair dresser, grabbed her clippers and came right over to my home and…
Wow! I didn’t think it would be this long between posts….forgive me dear readers. I will give you a quick update with more to come later. I am preparing for my third round of chemo…each chemo session begins at the Cancer Center, where I get hooked up to IV tubes that spend the next 4-5…
