OH BOY, THAT CHEMO!! I guess the good news is that chemo sure was working because my body was beat to heck by it. The usual drugs that block the nausea receptors did not work in me so I am just coming out of a 24/7 nauseous state since last Friday…long week. So, let’s hope for two good weeks before that next ‘cocktail’ is scheduled to be mixed.
We also found out that my cancer is a very fast moving type. Since that last Ct scan (post-surgery) until now, the cancer has already moved into my liver—but only a little bit. Dr Choong says, “The faster the cancer moves, the easier it falls.” So it is a race right now. This advancement means an additional two rounds of chemotherapy (total 6) and the addition of another chemo drug.
My social life still pretty much sucks! Thanks for keeping all the cards coming, I am not usually able to sit and read a book so the cards are very welcome during my inhouse time. I still have to stay somewhat secluded so my immune system stays healthy, I cannot handle germs at this time in the cycle…so hugs from a far to each of you!! But I am checking email again and returning all that I can. Feel free to send your PICTURE and I’ll put it up on the refrigerator with your cheery card and prayerful message!
Love to you all and a HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY to ABBEY Steinle on 2/22/09!! You were a great help to me this week!!

Lynn,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to send hugs and kisses. I am praying every day for you. I'm sorry I missed you the day of the bake sale. I wanted to see you so bad but ended up going home sick myself that day.
All my thoughts and prayers....
