I had a nice Christmas.




Here are some pictures of baby Jeffrey. I love the one of him looking at the tree!
I framed it for my mom and for Jeff's dad for Christmas.

I haven't been on in a long time. I have been so busy with Christmas and doing stuff on Ebay.
We had a wonderful Christmas and it was so much fun watching Jeffrey open his presents. He loves all his toys and hasn't stopped playing since Christmas.
I had a great day with my family. We went to Pam's to open presents with the family
and then had a wonderful dinner. I drank an Irish coffee that day and about a half bottle of wine. By the time I got to my in laws I was pretty much wasted...lol.
I had so much fun and got to catch up with everyone. It was a great day!

I had a little scare right before Christmas. I went for my three month check up and
I told the doctor that I have been getting muscle spasm and cramping in my chest
and rib cage. I also have some pain on the right side of my abdomen. He was as he
put it very concerned. When he said that it freaked me out. I was thinking, uhoh...
He sent me for a full body CAT scan, and a bone scan and thank god everything looked ok. I was honestly scared out of my mind. I keep thinking this stupid cancer is going to creep back up on me so I keep looking over my shoulder. I just want to look
ahead and try not to worry about it for a while.

I went to the store yesterday and picked up all of next years gift wrap for 75% off.
I bought 12 rolls of paper, about 6 packages of gift tags, and 8 gift bags all for $7.00. What a deal huh?

Right now I am looking at toys all over the living room and a happy little guy playing with a choo choo trian! I think I'll go play with him!!

Your grandbaby is such a doll. That is a wonderful picture. He's not so much a baby anymore, huh? I'm glad that your scare turned out to be nothing. I guess once you have cancer, they take every little twinge seriously. It sucks. But the good news is you got checked out thoroughly and can feel good about that.

I'm so glad your scan came out clean. I'm sure that was scary for you.

Happy New Year!

Chemo Sucks!

This 3rd chemo has really kicked my butt.  I am just not snapping out of it. I am so tired and nauseated. I am really starting to hate this.  I went to the doctor and my red cell count is low and I am anemic. I had to get a shot and I will get it once a week until my count comes up.  I really can't wait until March when this is over. It seems like it will be forever before it gets here.  I am really trying not to get down about this but I am really sick of feeling like this.  I'm hungry and have no appetite. I force myself to eat then I'm sick. UGGG! I also have been having really bad leg cramps. The kind that you wake up with and your toes flare out!  My calves feel like I ran 20 miles. I feel so bad because I have not been calling my friends. I have just been so down and feeling icky.  I hope everyone understands. OK enough whining. I stayed at my sisters for 2 days and then came home to find out my dog was sick while I was gone....

Radiation begins!

I waited ten days to hear from someone about starting radiation and this morning I get a call saying, can you be here at 11:45? Yikes no time to think! I was really nervous about it. I called my mom and she came to my rescue. Today was actually a dry run, I start tomorrow and I don’t really have a schedule yet. I have to do it at their convenience because there are no regular time slots open. So starting tomorrow I will go everyday except Saturday and Sunday for 7 weeks for a total of 35 treatments. That means I will end some where around June 12. I heard it takes longer to change your clothes than it does to do the treatment. Today I had to lay on the table in the little form they made for me and this huge machine rotated around me and they made sure everything was lining up right. They also gave me a little bar code on a card that I have to scan everyday and it lets them know I am there for treatment. Then I go into the changing room and change into my lovely gown. Then I just wai...

I have good news!

I have some great news! I went to the doctor today and found out that I am officially in remission!!! Yup That's right cancer free!! I have been waiting for the results for 2 weeks, it was a long 2 weeks, but Yay! I can move on to radiation now. I don’t even have to go back to the Docs for a month! After going every Monday for 7 months, that was music to my ears. I celebrated until I got home and checked my computer and found out my friend from another journal who has been great support for me and going through this at the same time as me found out today she has a malignant tumor in her lung. She is a fighter I know she is. She is only 3 months out of chemo and now this. It is really hard for me to celebrate knowing what she has to go through. On my sidebar of my journal main page there is a link to her journal. It is "I Shaved My Legs For This?" Stay strong Kim. I am feeling really good. Aside from being tired I think I might be getting back to normal. My mind is raci...
