It seems like a long time since I've been to see my doctors. I really like that!! lol When I arrived at the hospital, I checked in, gave them some blood and waited for the doctor. I have been feeling so well and didn't think she would give me bad news. And she didn't! She did tell me my cancer markers are going up from 86 to 198. One thing is that she expected that as it is part of starting on tamoxifen and it takes time for it to start working. She wants me to continue on my schedule and return in March to see how the markers are doing then. She also gave me a shot of Xgeva. This is the bone healer medication. If the markers are still going up she wants to put me on another hormone along with the tamoxifen...like femara. This would be great with me. That means no chemo!!! It's time again for CT & PT scans which will show how the cancer is growing. I have been feeling so well and really don't want to start back on chemo. My life is getting back to normal, well as normal as I can get it, and Robbin and I want to enjoy some travel while we can. We also are moving and I want to create a comfortable home in town. It's exciting for us and we really need a new start this year. So continue to pray for us! As we move and get settled in a new home, I will continue to feel well, get more energy and not have as much pain.
When we arrived tuesday night our good friends meet us for dinner. Sandy & Jeff, thanks a ton! It was so good to see you and to know you are here if we ever need anything while away from home. Thank You!! The burgers at the Chancery are always the best! I crave them!! The weather here is soooo cold. Yesterday the high was 17 with 65% humidity and 10 mph winds!! Burr!!!!! We will be leaving just in time. They are expecting a snow storm this weekend. And we are supposed to be in the 50's at home!!
God Bless You All.
