Test Results

I got to the hospital early again today. I checked in and started the appointments at 8:30. My doctor came in and told me that all blood test were normal and that the pet scan showed no changes. Wow were those good words to hear!!! She is happy that the femara shot is working like it should...that is an estrogen and progesterone blocker. It stops anymore cancer cells from developing. The infusion of zometa is also working fine....that is the med that heals the bone where the cancer is. It really lessens the pain in the bone. That is why I can tell when it is time for another treatment. Sherry was so much help today. It is always good to have someone with me just to lean on. When we were done at the hospital we decided to come back to the hotel and rest a little then go shopping and I wanted to take Sherry to Famous Daves. Yummy!!! We are packed and ready to get back home. I really miss Robbin! He has been such an inspiration and lots of help in prayer from the home front. Good news once again!!! Keep up the prayers. They really do work!! God is good!!!

Springtime in Chicago

May 5, 2010......I'm back at CTCA for my treatment and the weather is much warmer than Colorado! Today I had to be at the hospital at 8am to start the process of having a pet scan. It really is an easy test the only bad thing is I can't eat 6 hours prior! What!! No morning coffee?!?! That was hard to do but certainly worth it. I finished around 10:30 so was able to eat some breakfast then we headed back to the hotel. This time my friend Sherry Winters came with me. I am so blessed to have such supportive friends. Thank You!! As you know the outlet mall is just across the street so we headed over there on foot. Really wasn't looking for anything in particular but still ended up with a few bags. Tonight I did take Sherry to the Brat Stop for of course a brat and beer. Yummy!! Tomorrow I will get to the hospital at 8am to get started on my day. Infusion is at 11am so hope to be finished around 12-12:30. I will get all blood results and pet scan results tomorrow also so look for another blog tomorrow night. I will let you know how those turned out. Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers. Love ya!!
