4 treatments down!
Last Friday I had a CT scan and this Friday I meet with my Doctor to discuss the effectiveness of the treatments! If the mass shows a reduction of 50% or more then the Rituximab is working! …I’ve been in a sleepy haze, but my peeps managed to make each week uplifting, fun and bearable!…
Rituximab 1st Infusion. Check!
But my first treatment really wasn’t as bad as my mind had pictured. I didn’t know what to expect as there is not much testimonial information out there.
Why Me? Part Two.
The name of my blog is a reminder….to not give all my energy over to something that can’t be controlled with worry, something that can happen to anyone at anytime for no reason. Why me? why not? This past fall I changed Oncologists. I mentioned an area of concern that one of surgeons had noticed…
One year.
A year ago I was in the midst of at 9.5 hour surgery. It’s crazy to think that is behind me. It is! I’m caught up with my surgeries, I’ve had four in 2020! I just met with my oncologist and reviewed my MRI. All clear! With this news I am now “downgraded” to oncology…
Body and Mind
Whenever faced with a challenge I’ve always just pressed on. I didn’t put much thought into it other than getting from point A to point B. The in-between always seemed to fall into place. It was as simple as a formula. A marathon, for example, I’d sign up, follow a training program that would prepare…
Season Transition
The boys are on there second week of online school but I’m not ready to let summer go! I had lowered my expectations for summer obviously because of COVID, treatments, 2nd surgery, closed beaches, canceled flights, canceled college tours, canceled summer camps… But I must add, I’m continuing with my great summer even though it’s…
Endless Summer
Out to lunch with AJ last Saturday, our server greeted us with a smile. Mid-sentence he did a double-take. Awkward pause of silence, a heavy stare at my chest. This server, half my age, was gawking at my…..T-shirt. “What does your shirt say?” “F#%! Cancer”, and I tell him my story…I’ve told my story many…
Friends & Family: Blurred Lines
My family has grown immense. My tribe that includes not only Bobby, boys, Shelby, my parents, brother, nieces. Family includes my neighbors, friends far and near. Includes my doctors, surgeons and nurses. I’m blessed, humbled and loved. I can’t express the appreciation the visits, cards, meals, daily check-ins, gifts, flowers and of course thoughts and…
Thriving while staying-home
Sometimes it takes a while for the blessing of a situation to reveal itself, but right away I knew this current stay-at-home order was a good thing for me. Without the carpool, after school activities, tutoring, errands, and routine appointments, I have nothing but time to concentrate on my health. This rang true especially since…
Self-containment Stir-Crazy leads to Sassy Cut.
This morning we had to cancel a visit from my SIL and Niece in VA…disappointing but necessary. The third family visit we’ve had to cancel past two weeks due to the Caronavirus. Other than my walks I have not left the house. My kids too, no school, no music, no tennis, no friends.
