CAT scan Monday

Cold is much better....but you know that saying, it gets worse before it gets better. That was me Wednesday. I actually asked my husband to stay home from work. I never do that, so he knew I was pretty cruddy!!
My CAT scan in tomorrow. We are hoping for some good results. Not only for the decreasing of the tumors, but so I don't have to go through changing another treatment. So please think about me tomorrow if you get a chance....Thanks
I will have the results later in the week.

Hope you all are having a fantastic mother's day!!

No, Seriously?

My rash is just about gone. Doing good. Then Tuesday night I looked at hubby and said....I am catching a cold. Oh my goodness....it is a doozie! I haven't slept more than 3 hours a night because I can't breathe! I am taking Tylenol cold, but I don't think it is doing much.
Ok, so now you see, I DO complain. I hate colds!!!
I will come talk to you all again when I am nicer...and feeling better!!

So doc, what is this rash??

We have pretty much decided this rash on my legs is NOT from the chemo. I have taken the chemo alone and the rash doesn't get any worse. My doctor thinks, thinks it may be the calcium blocker I am on for the high blood pressure. So he changed that medication and we will see.
I have my next CT scan next Monday, and hubby and I are so hopeful for a good scan. It is so WONDERFUL when you get some good news!
All my blood work is great...and aside from some fatigue I am doing quite well, all things considered.
Now, you may think this is sick humor, but at my doctor's office it is always kinda a joke as to why I am there, since I am basically so healthy...then my doctor will say, well, except for this thing called CANCER!
I tell my husband all the time that I will not be happy if after I am gone, they find out eating a banana standing on your head will cure this!

Now you probably all are thinking, that poor thing, it has affected her brain!

Nope, that is still fine.....you gotta laugh about something you know!

Checking in...

I have been feeling pretty good. Able to do some things that I have had to let go for a while. Even invited some friends over for a good tablegame. However, I am having the rash issue again on my legs. I call it a rash out of lack of whatelse to call it. It appears to be under the skin, no bumps, but red as fire. It doesn't itch. I see the doctor tomorrow and they are hoping to be able to tell me what is causing it.
It needs to go away....cuz it is capri season. It is bad enough my poor toe nails look terrible. I got a fungus when I was on one of the other chemos and of course, because of the liver, I can't take the meds. Now my legs....I may have to start wearing total body covering the way I keep falling apart!
So that is what is happening on my side of town...how about you?

Hi There!

I noticed I haven't posted in over a week here on the Teal blog. That is a good thing, it means I have been feeling better and living life!
I think we have finally got this medicine thing worked out. I feel good and no major side effects. Yeah!
We were able to go to church today and I actually got caught up with the housework.
I will see my oncologist on Tuesday, but I am not anticipating any problems.

Hope all of you are well and enjoying your life! Spring is so wonderful...love all the flowers and the occasional little bit of rain.

Talk to again soon, Ceekay!

Can I walk yet??

Yes! My feet are so much better. Man, that was an interesting week. I had to McGyver some padding on my feet....it was unique. No, I don't own any slippers. I have slipper socks, but I needed more padding....so I made my own.
I am back on the chemo again, a lesser dose. If they could just get the stomach issue straightened out and the blood pressure regulated....I think I might be ok. I have not gone anywhere but the doctor's office and let me tell you....I don't like that.
Thank you for the many encouraging comments. I am hanging in...hanging being the operative word. But I praise the Lord for the days he is allowing me to have....and hope springs eternal. I hope that next week will be better!!
Have a great weekend. Do something fun and think of me!!! I love to be out and enjoying life.....and I will be again...soon I hope!

The Good, Bad and Ugly

I have been back and forth to doctors all day yesterday and today.

The Bad - I am officially admitting that I am sick. My oncologist has taken me off all meds for a few days and then revamping some. Chemo is getting cut in half again. I just seem to be highly sensitive to it.

The Ugly - my feet....this chemo give hand and foot syndrome. My feet are totally a mess. I can barely walk. I have Bag Balm on them to try and heal them up....mercy, this is painful.

The Good - the chemo is working. My cancer markers have been cut in half and that is with being on and off the meds. My doctor feels I will still get benefit from a lesser dose and I should feel better. Such wonderful news!

That is it today friends. Back to the bed for me....
