Good evening! Coming out of hibernation to say Hello and give an update! So a couple weeks ago I had my stint put in to help keep everything flowing from my kidney. Well what I thought was going to be an easy peasy situation turned out to be a pretty painful ordeal. My body decided to reject the stint, and proudly let me known it along with some other side effects…Thankfully that has passed and I will have a ultrasound…
Hello❤ I hope all of you are having a great evening! The Brunning’s are staying in tonight after a busy week! So first I will update you on my scans. I went in for my CT scan, doctor appointment and chemo on January 29th. My scan showed all of my cancer had stayed the same and no new tumors found. This of course is GREAT news but I have to be honest, I felt a little disappointed nothing had shrank as…
Hey guys just checking in! So this was chemo week and I had treatment on Monday. Since I’m on the pill version of what I got in the pump previously I take 3 pills in the morning and 3 pills at night for 7 days along with a steroid for 4 days following treatment. I’m doing pretty well except for my extreme sensitivity to cold and a nasty taste in my mouth constantly…blah… The cold sensitivity is insane as I…
Good evening and Happy New Year! I just had my 3rd treatment with this cocktail except this time no pump I have the pill form! I’m so thankful for this because being hooked to a pump was driving me a tad crazy. So far I’ve been feeling pretty good after treatment..the previous treatments had me down for days…last treatment they put me on steroids and I felt well until I was taken off the steroids and then I was ill…It…
Hello! Haven’t been in for a bit so thought I would say hello and give a quick update! As you probably know I started a new treatment on the 4th. It had me down for about 4 days, and then I gradually got better with each day❤This chemo is a little tricky as it causes me to be sensitive to cold. I can’t touch, eat, breathe or drink anything cold! This is hard for several reasons!! The effects last around…
Hello, here I am with the latest. So not the news I was hoping for, thankful not the news I had nightmares about, but in the middle. After review of my scans, all of my tumors have grown 20% or more since September. So this means we have to switch things up. He talked to me about 3 different options. 2 of the options don’t shrink the tumors but try to slow them down. The 3rd (recommended) option is made…
Hey everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday💙 I’ve been getting lots of messages which usually means I need to update! I’ve been busy filling my days with family things and resting. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing lots of you in person and it’s always so great! I always appreciate the prayers, hugs and well wishes! I’m super blessed! So I go to bed tonight calm but nervous. Tomorrow is my scan to see where we are at….
Good evening friends💜 Its been a couple weeks since I’ve chatted with you so thought I would stop in for a recap of the past 2 weeks. Well the last two weeks have been rough. Our community lost a very wonderful person. She was a wonderful, strong, loving friend of mine. She was my rock through this cancer journey as she too was battling this beast. When we would talk and have our breakfast dates, it was so refreshing talking to…
Today was chemo day. I’m not going to lie, I’m getting tired. I just hope this is all working. 1 more chemo then scans. I continue to have a heavy heart for the cancer warriors still fighting and the ones who no longer can. I have to stay in the game mentally and do what I can to stay in for them and me. For some one like me that has been told I will be on chemo for life,…
Good morning💜 I haven’t been on in a while so I thought I would say hello!! As far as an update, not much new just the usual. Tired, nauseas, body aches etc. I’m still on the same chemo regimen I’ve been on since July getting it every other Monday plus my trial meds everyday. Although my tumor markers are the highest they have ever been, we are staying the course as of now. I meet with my doctor next week and…
