Well friends I’m back sooner than expected with an update. So starting yesterday afternoon I began to have sharp pains in my liver area and rib cage radiating to my back. I’ve been battling a severe cold and cough since the beginning of October. So at first I thought I had pulled a muscle coughing but it continued to get worse. As a cancer patient you have to report every change as they are always looking for blood clots. So…
Alrighty! 6 days till Christmas! I love Christmas although I have a lot more emotions this year..I still have some shopping to do thanks to my lovely chemo treatments putting me down every other week but I’m going to get it all snapped up here in the next few days. I’m happy/nervous to say I had my 12th treatment last week and she hopefully will be able to give me a little break. I have scans scheduled for the 27th…
Good evening 💙 I haven’t posted in a while so I wanted to stop in for a quick update. So not much new going on but here’s the latest. I have 2 more treatments with the current drugs with one of those this Wednesday. I then will get a round of scans to see what’s happening and then we will go from there. She’s hoping my tumors are stable enough to kinda give me a break with a more gentle…
Okay so chemo today….it’s crazy how the effects of chemo happen right away. I’ve been in bed since I got home and I’m kinda just miserable. Cancer stinks and so does the treatment 🙁 I talked with my doctor about my ultrasound…I’m kinda confused because they get a summary report from a radiologist that compares to a previous scan…I have had so many scans I’m unsure at this point which ones were compared to each other…she in a non direct…
Good afternoon 💙 A quick update! So last week was supposed to be chemo week but it got postponed to this week. I got there, started the usual blood work and such and before I start my treatment the doctor pops in a sees me then gives the okay. We she came in I told her about some liver pain, rib pain and heavy chest pressure I’d been feeling. She decided it was best to skip treatment and get a…
Hello! It’s been a while so I thought I should post an update 🙂 October has been a little rough..my body thought it would be a good idea to get a sinus infection and a bad case of bronchitis.. Oh and another part of my lower jaw bone to become exposed in my mouth! Lol. I have to laugh out loud to stay sane😆 Thankfully I feel I’m finally over all of that except the bone thing but I can…
Good evening! Dropping in to say hello and thanks as always for the thoughts and prayers! This off week has actually been pretty good! Last week I had a small breakout with hives so the doctor put me on a heavy dose of steroids. She seems to think it’s one of my chemo drugs since this is the 2nd time this has happened..I spoke to the nurse and she thinks she may take me off that specific drug due to…
Good evening! Warning im feeling wordy so this may be long…Reflecting on this past month and it has been crazy! I have had a few bumps in my path to fighting this thing but I’m back on track starting tomorrow! 4-5 hr chemo is tomorrow, so thankful to have my amazing hubby with me by my side during my treatments💙 Update..as I had posted a week or so ago I had a visit with the IU doctor just to get…

Hey there! So I typed an update Friday and I guess it didn’t post??? So here is the latest! I had my PET scan Friday along with a follow up after. I was very nervous about this scan because I’ve had a crazy week and I haven’t had treatment since the beginning of August due to all of the random illnesses I’ve had. So with great gratitude my scan came back pretty good!!! She said 2 of my 4 liver…
