Feeling happy 🙂

I am not a very political person but I do have to say that watching yesterday’s events made me SO very HAPPY!! I had to share this feeling.

Well I don’t think I’ve mentioned this, and if I have, very sorry. I was scheduled to see the eye doctor for a follow-up last week and I cancelled b/c “I wasn’t feeling well”. Later that day I came to the conclusion that I just didn’t want to go b/c I didn’t want to get anymore bad news. That being said, I rescheduled my appointment for tomorrow. So, if the lesions look worse that means treatment. My options are radiation to my eyes or some sort of laser treatment that is not FDA approved. Ummmm no thank you. Now you know why I don’t want to go.

So I have good days and bad days. The bad days I just want to stay in bed and sleep the day away. I’d have to say the days are mostly good. A lot of that has to do with the treatment that my oncologist switched me to. There is no way that I’d still be here if I had to stay on the other treatment. The day that I spoke up, I honestly felt that I’d rather be dead. I was throwing up without any warning, I was exhausted, dehydrated, being taken to the hospital, delirious, and on and on. Let’s hope that my current treatment continues to do it’s job!

Schedule:

1/22 – Follow-up with the eye doctor

1/26 – Brain MRI

2/2 – Spine MRI

2/3 – Palliative Care appt

2/5 – Doctor and treatment

    1. Hi Martie! I just figured out that I can reply to messages, lol! So I am super happy to report that the lesions in my eyes have shrunk. The doctor said he can’t predict what will happen if I change treatment (which for now I’m not) but he’s happy with how things look and for now will just watch them closely. He’d like to see me back in 9 wks. I’m so excited. Thank you all for your continued support. No idea when I’ll be back in PA again but if I am, I’ll let you know. Love you💕 Jen.

      1. Hi Jen – I’m so excited to get your reply. Great news about your eyes. My entire family is praying for you and all my granddaughters and Tammy follow your blog. I keep Chris posted as he always asks about you. I haven’t been on for a bit. Martha has been very sick with bronchitis and it seems we are dealing with perhaps the start of dementia. We’ll just take a day at a time. You continue to keep fighting and know we are all there with you. Give Mark my love and I’ll be in touch. Love you.❤️😘 Martie
