Day after Treatments.......

I don't remember when I have had a smoother day with treatments. We got to the hospital and checked in. All appointments where on time and we were out of there in record time! My blood tests showed that all was stable and I'm feeling good this morning. Last night was relaxing and warm. Robbin ordered dinner, I ate and went back to bed. The rest is what I needed...the day was very exhausting!! Today we hope to go walk around the outlet mall across the street. Convenient!! May go get some cheese and a brat for dinner. Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers. We return home tomorrow just before the super bowl. Go Saints!!!

February in Chicago

Can't believe it's time to go back for treatments. That month sure went by quick. I'm hurrying to have fun!!! This month should go very smooth. Friday I check in at 10am, get port access, see doctor, have lunch, start chemo, head back to hotel around 5pm. Pray that it goes as smoothly as that. We come back home Sunday just before the Super Bowl. I have been feeling so much better this week. I think the cold that I had been trying to get finally hit and antibiotics helped it go away. My strength is back and ready for anything. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. God is taking great care of me. What a gift I have received from Him!

Great News!!

The test results came back and the markers are still the same. No new affected areas!! WooHoo! It has and always will amaze me how God works and just keeps giving comfort and giving comfort. Thanks, God! Thanks to all of you who are such great supporters, too. We head home tomorrow at 12:30. I am feeling fine, still and will be ready to be home. Love to all!!

Day After Treatment

Had a very late night so sorry I couldn't get my blog on last night. My appointments went well, doctor said everything is looking fine, blood tests are good and cancer markers are still going down. Hugh blessings!! My doctor did want me to have a PET scan so the scheduler called me, said I could have it at 9pm. Are you kidding? That's what I asked her. I just wanted to come to the room and go to bed. All the appointments are very exhausting and it took its toll on me yesterday. So I quit eating after 4 and prepared for the scan. That wasn't too difficult because I got my peanut butter and jelly sandwich while I was have treatments. After we left the hospital we went to the Outlet Mall to get some things for Andreas. There is a Under Armour store that is our favorite. We then came to the hotel and I got some rest. Robbin wakes me up to take me back to the hospital at 8:30. The nurse starts me on the process for the scan. After they put the radioactive contrast in I have to lay very still for one hour. Perfect, I went to sleep...woke myself up snoring twice!! I then went into another room when the machine is, laid down and they start the xray. It only took 30 minutes and I was out looking for Robbin who was patiently waiting for me. We got the shuttle back to the hotel and by 11:45pm I was in bed. Robbin is amazing! He always makes sure I have what I need to be most comfortable. As I got up this morning, my body felt very rested and feeling fine. Today we are waiting for the doctor to call with the results of the scan. I'm very confident that everything is ok. The doctor wanted to do this because it has been 6 months since my last one. Thank you again to all of you who pray and sent thoughts this way. I am so blessed to have all of you in my life. Love you all!!

OMG!!! It is so cold here!!

Robbin and I arrived at the hotel around 6pm. These people out here are definitely Green Bay Packers fans. It looked like they were going to win but OT proved that to be wrong. To bad! ;( As we walked to the limo we were blasted with the wind that must have been at least -20!! The storm and cold weather that was in Colorado is sure here. It is supposed to snow here tonight. Said we would get about 1-2 inches. The hotel is very cozy and we're watching a movie. I will check in at the hospital at 10am then the day starts. I have lots of appointments and am looking forward to all of it. When we return to the hotel I will let you know how it went. We first have to go find me a heating pad. Seems I always forget it so this time I'm leaving it in the suitcase. If any of you could remind me to bring it, please do so. lol Have a warm evening!

January already

Hard to believe it is a new year. Robbin and I are headed to Chicago tomorrow. I have my treatment Monday and am soooo looking forward to it. This past month has not been my best month. Seems I have lots of pain and can't get rid of it. The pain is in my muscles so the heating pad is my best friend! I wonder if the weather has lots to do with it. The cold weather is in Chicago now so I can't even get away from it. I really need a break...anyone want to go to the Caribbean climate? Only dreaming!! ;o( Keep the prayers going and always know you are in my thoughts all the time. God is good and gives us strength to carry on. More later.......

Home...Happy and Healthy

I want to thank everyone for all the prayers you sent our way. God is so good to us! As we walked into the doctors office I asked that God be with us. I felt such a since of comfort and felt the Holy Spirit with us. We got the test results, which were good, and I knew that God was taking care of us once again! He continues to bless us. He is giving us strength, comfort and most of all love in our hearts. Thank you, God!! I'm feeling better everyday and am looking forward to the Christmas Season with my family and Friends. Please remember the reason for this season and know that we want you to have a

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
