Tumor Shrinkage!

Sorry I haven’t updated since seeing the Dr. The tumors are still shrinking! I don’t have a percentage yet, but it looks like some have been resolved and others continue to shrink. I’m happy and not surprised by this news. I want them to keep going in the right direction.

This recovery from chemo has been a little different. Not only because Christmas was spent in bed sick from chemo but it doesn’t seem as severe with the focus issues, but it seems longer. Maybe my mind is just being kind because by Wednesdays I’m back to “normal”. Tomorrow should be totally “normal”.

The Best Defense Is a Strong Offense Against The Tumors

Christmas was of course strange not being able to participate or even watch the kids open gifts. It certainly wasn’t my first choice but I think it’s important to stay on schedule with the chemo so it continues to be a strong offensive line for the cancer against the tumors.  I can’t let cancer gain any ground. I missed our traditional Christmas dinner but I’m happy my family was still able to enjoy it. They were sweet and brought my gifts upstairs for me to open in bed. It would be cliche to say that this experience gave me perspective about the Christmas season, but it did.  It was so nice to not be rushing around shopping for last-minute gifts. There was no fretting about setting a perfect table or making the perfect meal. My parents were here so I’m sure my mom made perfect.

Port Update

I know that you’re on the edge of your seat wanting un update about the port.  Drum roll please…the port is scheduled for Jan 9 and then I fly to Houston on Jan 11 for the next chemo. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were the last?
