I had my CT almost 2 weeks ago and saw my doctor this past Tuesday. I try to stay positive but this time I was just plain scared....I just knew he was going to tell me I had to go back on traditional chemo.
But, that was not the case. I again was "stable". He did tell me his plan, which made sense to me this time....and I will be going on a new research drug when it opens up for its second run. But he doesn't know exactly when that will be.
So, I am hanging in there. I feel good. I talked to him about my weakness in my legs...but we will not really know if it is the Avastin that is doing it, or just old age until I am off the Avastin.
We are enduring the heat....as most of you are. I try not to rush my life, but October...where are you??

Life has been a Little Busy
We got all moved and settled and then went full swing into my daughter's wedding June 23rd. I have been making favors, finding deals, ordering...you know how that goes.
I saw my oncologist on Tuesday and I am doing well. However, he is beginning to prepare me to go back on a traditional chemo. I am not looking forward to it, but I understand his concern to zap things hard again.
So, this summer sometime, I will probably be saying goodbye to my hair once again. But right now, I have a wedding to pull off!!

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!!

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.
