Another late update… My PET Scan the other wk showed multiple new lesions in my lungs and new stuff in my bones. I still get my full spine mri next wk but it’s safe to say that it’s worse. Plan is to switch treatment (we knew this from the brain mri). We talked about switchingContinue reading “April 6, 2022”

Quick update… Vacation is going as planned, relaxing! We had Mark’s Harrisburg friends here for a few days. His friend from his golf league is still here until tomorrow. Then we have alone time until my mom gets here Wednesday, can’t wait!! Then my brother arrives next Saturday the 26th. Also my sister surprised meContinue reading “March 19, 2022”

Update As I expected after talking with Kate Horst, there are no other options to treat the brain lesions. I’ll keep hoping that my full body PET shows nothing new. Back to vacay!!

We have arrived… Well we got to La Quinta yesterday at 4:30pm. Mark’s friends from Harrisburg flew in last night. Poor guys it was like a 14 hour day of traveling for them. With delays and layover’s, crazy. My plan now is to RELAX! The men are already out golfing while I sit by theContinue reading “March 13, 2022”

Update… I hate to report this but I’ve been putting it off for a bunch of days. My Brain MRI was not good. Basically there are multiple new small and large lesions that there are no treatment options left. The doctor said my prognosis is not good. So I do have one more call onContinue reading “March 10, 2022”

The lower left back tooth has been giving me issues for months now. I’ve been through 4 courses of antibiotics and the infection goesContinue reading “March 2, 2022”

I have been meaning to write a post and it just keeps slipping away. The thing I was annoyed about lately is runners. When we are out for a walk and a runner goes zipping by, it drives me crazy, I guess it’s just jealousy. Running was my “addiction”, I loved it. Now I getContinue reading “February 4, 2022”

Quick update… It has been a week and a half since I got the new chemotherapy infusion. Wanted to let you all know how it went. For many good reasons, the cancer center has not been allowing visitors to come in for visits since the pandemic was on the rise. The only way that youContinue reading “January 19, 2022”

Happy New Year… I hope that everyone had a happy New Year filled with health and love. Today is my last day of radiation to my left hip. In total I had 10 treatments. It hasn’t been bad at all. Just have a little more fatigue and some redness/darkening of the skin in that area.Continue reading “January 6, 2022!!”

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all… I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and lots of great food! This year we decided to stay in California for the Christmas and New Years. We did a whole chicken in the crock pot, mashed potatoes, corn, broccoli and cauliflower. The meal turned out pretty goodContinue reading “December 25, 2021”
