Coming up on round 6

Well I am approaching chemo number 6.... THE HALF WAY MARK!!!!! Things have been really busy at work nice since it helps take my mind off of this. I am feeling really good, nothing to report on.

Things at our house are going well also.

Our "unfinished" space is getting worked on and we are getting ready to the sheetrock up.

Allison will be 1 on November 6. I can't believe it! So much has happened this year! I think that I say that every year but it is true when you look back on it. She not talking yet she does say "hi" it is cute when you wave to her and say hi she sticks her hand up high in the air says hi and then waves. She started clapping. Not walking either but I don't think that will last too much longer. She loves to play peek a boo with the blanket.

Melanie is as feisty as ever. She defiantly has a mind of her own…. I hear that gets worse with time…. She is ready for Halloween she is going to be a Princess. She was going to be a Mermaid but the costume didn’t last… Got her in the car to go to a Halloween party and it ripped getting in…. Oh well that is life.

Well I will check in and post some pictures from Halloween.

Have a good night all! :)

Some GREAT news!

Went in for round 5 today, we discussed doing a chest x-ray and decided now would be a good time. Did the x-ray and waited for the doctor to come back in the room. He showed us a copy of the scan and said that according to the x-ray you would have never known that there was a mass there. The mass in my chest is gone! My heart has also return to the left side of my chest! We will know when I have a PET scan in 2 months if there are any cancerous cells. My treatment will continue as originally planned, every 2 weeks for 3 more months and then 1 month of radiation 5 days a week.

All is going well

Not much to post all is going well this week. i go in on friday for more chemo, round 5!

Another day

Well on Thursday I had my port looked at and the port was fine but I did have an infected stitch so they did some local anesthetic and removed it. I have to go in sometime next week and have them just take a look to make sure that all is still well.

Round 4 or chemo went well I slept right though and Vince watched gray's anatomy. Today I am pretty tired and neck is really sore.

Doctor says that I am doing well. My counts are looking great. My weight is going up, other than that not too many other symptoms. At my next appointment we will discuss another scan.

Ewwwww......

Well as has been going well until today. Today my port incision started to get infected. Tomorrow I need to go in to interventional radiology and have the doctors there take a look and if needed they may need to remove it. I am started on some antibiotics to help fight the infection.

I go in for round 4 on Friday….. 8 more to do!

Some good news I got a promotion at work and now I am Greeter Supervisor!!!

The girls are doing well.

Well I have to get Allison out of her high chair.

ok so here is one of my wigs.
