1 Year Anniversary

One yr ago yesterday I had my first clean scan and no more cancer 1 yr later and I'm still cancer free my next scheduled scan is 6/30 and if it's clean I finally get my port out YES!!!! neuropathy h/e has not gotten better. I 've tried the increase in meds like the docs have suggested and there's much else to do but wait and who knows how long. So haven't worked in 18 months financials are terrible still waiting on my appeal w SS but at least I'm to complain. I was hoping to have some fun this summer I'm just going to have to manage my pain wisely. Thanks for All The continued support and Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful moms :)

Aftermath

7 months after my 1st clean scan I had another in August and I'm relieved the cancer doesn't seem to b coming back. The doctors were right about that part. Unfortunately they Nebr informed me about the possibility of neuropathy. It came as a side effect of the chemo drug Cisplatin. I have pins and needle numbness combined w pain in my hands and my feet that has kept me from going back to work. I'm fighting an appeal w SS while I'm out because there's no telling how long it will take for my nerves to regenerate. For now I'm relying very little from temporary assistance. Christmas will b tough on the girls but I did sign them up at the salvation army. I'm on a lot of meds tryin to move forward and tryin to stay patient cause that's all I can do for now. Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year I hope mine works out better than the last PEACE

Never give up

going in to see y my tumor markers r not quite right wish me luck!

I AM CANCER FREE!

Just got back from the doctor w my CT scans and I have Kicked Cancers Butt! No more evidence of cancer left in my lymphnodes. I want to thank e1 for all the support and love I've received over the past six months it meant more than I could ever say. I have another scan in three months and then life is back to normal finally.

4th and hopefully final round complete

Extremely weak and exhausted. Everything hurts and just feel completely gross. Just hoping I get feeling a little better everyday. Can't wait til I'm 100%. Thanks everyone for checking in with me.

Round 4 begins Monday

Well baseball is here Go Phillies and the Final Four Go SU and finally on Monday my fourth and final round of chemo begins! I hope this round is as bearable as the last and things go smoothly after that. It will be a few wks before I have my CT scans so there won't be any news until then on the progress. Thanks again for all the support E1!

Finally feelin normal

Man the last five days were tough. When I got home Friday I was so whooped and felt terrible. That lasted all wkend and thru yesterday. Stomach cramps, nausea fatigue pain. Today I wake up though and I feel normal. Not great but I'll take it. Ready for a wkend full of Bball and hopefully no setbacks! Thanks everyone!
