A Fighter---Gwyn is going to the Cancer Treatment Centers Of America in Chicago on August 2nd for more treatments on her bone cancer. They will be putting her through several tests and then her and Robbin will be able to select an option for further treatment. She wants to keep all of her supporters informed so her nephew Jason has created this blog for her. I'm a person with lots of HOPE and want to share it with you! Thanks, Jason!!

Trip to CTCA for Treatments via Milwaukee
Well, today went just like we wanted it to. I first had my port accessed, had blood drawn for all kinds of tests, ate lunch with a good friend we meet out here then saw the doctor and the naturalist and we had about an hour brake. Robbin and I really needed to get outside so we went for a walk in the rain. The weather today has been off and on rain and wind. When we headed back in it was time for my shots and infusion. The waiting room was the best ever....there was a puzzle that we were able to but at least 40 pieces in. You would be proud Aunt Shirley and Uncle Gene. Then the nurse interrupted the fun and off we go for the painful shots. I know it must be done and really it wasn't to bad today. I always think about laying on a beach with an umbrella drink and the pain goes away. I'm hoping there will be a day when that really does come true!! Time out...pizza is here!! Ok, I need to order a small next time. We talked about how we could get the leftovers home and ;( have to leave it here. We wanted to go to Famous Dave's but when we got there the doors were locked and no one was getting in. It was only 8:45. Business must be slow. Anyway, my test results showed a small change for the better but the most watched test was not done so we will call tomorrow when we get home. I am feeling so well, it is hard to believe I had chemo today. Just pray that it stays that way. I will certainly let you know what the results are as soon as I get them. Once again, thank you for all the support and prayers. God is so good to put you in my life and for giving me such peace with this cancer. God Bless You!!

Prayers for more changes for the better!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you are felling better this time (so far) I hope that it will last. Darwin, Derik, Darcie and Eli will be coming to Colorado for the weekend. I don't get to come I have to work but there has been some changes in Irene's health so there needs to be a little family meeting. Maybe you will see them at church. I think of you all the time.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling well. We love you and are praying for another successful treatment. Enjoy your time despite the weather!
