Happy May Everyone!

I am back from 2 glorious weeks in Juno Beach, Florida.  I didn't really want to go because we had moved 4 days before, and everything was not done.  But my husband and my doctor TOLD me to go! and they were right.  The trip was the best thing for my nerves and strength.  The ocean is invigorating!

I got back late Monday evening and promptly had chemo Tuesday morning.  Then home to more unpacking...but it is done!  I have even taken time to go swimming in the community pool.  What a joy!

My daughter's wedding in June is now on the forefront....and I am thankful that I am able to participate in the planning.

God is good to me!

I know

that I keep saying the same thing here, but my doctor says that there isn't much better news for me than "stable".  I have been really battling my allergies this year, I think maybe the Avastin is aggravating it a bit as a running nose is a side effect anyways.
I must admit, I am a little tired of sneezing and blowing my nose, but I really have nothing to complain about.

As most of you already know, my husband and I are in the process of moving.  It really has taken a bit of a toll on my poor old body...but I am doing it!  More slowly than the past, but still getting it done.

I started another blog (mercy!) about our new to us, OLD mobile home that we are redoing...Doublewide Decor. If you would like to see what trouble we have gotten ourselves into, come and say Hi!

I hope you all had a great Easter.  We had a good one, worshipping and then  having dinner with some friends.  Different than we usually have, but it was good.  I couldn't do Easter dinner this year because our old home has no table and chairs...and our new one has no appliances.  What a mess!!

Talk to you soon.  Thank you to all my prayer warriors...you are all wonderful to pray for me!!

I am Stable again...PTL!

Saw my oncologist on Tuesday and he is more than happy with my scans.  He says I look good, blood is good...everything is good!

I will take it!

On to our move!  See my Thinkin' of Home blog for the latest on my "normal" life!!

Thank you for your prayers and concern...keep them coming...we appreciate it so much!

Chemo today....all is well.

I had my Avastin infusion today.  Tomorrow will be my rest day.  I have a CT scan next Tuesday and praying for good results.  I feel good.  I have been trying to keep up physically with some family demands....so I enjoy the days when hubby is back at work and I can rest and refresh. 
My daughter is getting married in June.  It will be a small simple wedding, but as mom, I still want it to be beautiful and special for her.  On top of that my husband and I are still working on a huge project that I will share soon.

Well that is what is happening around here.  Please keep me in your prayers next Tuesday and for the results.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I am grateful to say that not much is new going on with my cancer journey.  The Avastin is still working and I feel very well.  I still struggle with body aches...but hey, I am not getting any younger either.  I will celebrate, and believe you me, I will celebrate! my birthday this Saturday!

I hope all my friends in Blogland have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!

Hi All.....

Haven't meant to stay away for so long.  My hubby and I have a big project going and frankly it is physically a bit much.  But getting it done, one day at a time!
I will have chemo again this coming Tuesday.  The biggest problem we have right now is that my insurance company doesn't want to pay for my CT scans.  We have a problem....so I will be anxious to hear what they have to say when I see the doctor.  They were supposed to be looking into it for me.
It is always something isn't it????

Hope you all are having a great January and 2012 has been good to you.....

Thanks for all the prayers.

Me and Avastin

I saw my doctor Thursday and again I am considered "stable"....no major changes in tumors...everytime I go in after a CT I pray that I am one of those miracle people when they say...we can't find any tumors!  But, that hasn't happened...YET!
We talked to my doctor about the Avastin and he is keeping me on it and hasn't had any notification that he has to quit...so, he told me to let him worry about it.  I guess that is what I will do!
Been busy the last few days packing away Christmas.  It takes me longer now, but I did it!  House always feels so nice after everything is put away.  We took a car full of "stuff" to Goodwill.....and I have more to go.  I keep telling everyone that stuff is like rabbits...it multiplies in the closets!!
Happy New Year everyone!  Thanks for supporting me with your thoughts and prayers this year!
