It has been way too long since I have updated everyone and I am sorry for those of you who have been asking. Well here I am!!! So much has happened and I am sorry if I repeat myself. As you know, I was getting IV chemotherapy on for 2 weeks off for 1. Well,Continue reading “October 29, 2020….”

Where did August go…. I woke up and it was August 1st and next thing I knew it was the end of August! First off, I must admit that I have been keeping a secret. My older sister, Stacey, was diagnosed on 7/31 with Stage IA of IDC (Intraductal Carcinoma) Breast Cancer. She won’t knowContinue reading “August 31, 2020”

Jen asked me to post a quick update for her as she hasn’t been feeling great. She finished radiation and has “off” this week from treatments. Her throat has been sore and she’s not been able to eat much. My mom has been trying to make smoothies and enjoys trying out different fruit combinations! NotContinue reading “August 18th”

First off, Happy Birthday to the Kilian twins Corinne and Laurel turned 6 today:) They celebrated at the Jersey shore. The pictures they sent were great but not as great as being there. Last night I got my oxygen around 5pm. What a mess to just get some o2 I tell yah. My oncologists nurseContinue reading “Saturday August 8th…”

Today I think Radiation finally hit me. I have been so tired all day. Still waiting on my oxygen. What a mess this has been all for some oxygen. I could have taken care of this in 2 days!! It has been 1 week tomorrow and still no promise of oxygen. My oxygen saturation’s areContinue reading “Thursday August 6th…”

It is in the early morning of Wednesday the 5th so bare with what I may say, lol. I am officially half way through Radiation. I saw Dr. Marquez today after my treatment and she showed me exactly where they are treating which was neat to see. So my jaw finally started hurting this afternoonContinue reading “Wednesday August 5….”

I cannot believe it is August already. Where has the summer gone of being quarantined, LOL:). We had a pretty low key weekend. On Saturday Mark went golfing with a guy that he’s been golfing with on Saturday’s and I know they are careful so I don’t mind. At around 1pm Linda and her brotherContinue reading “Monday August 3…”

Well I guess so far so good. The first day of radiation I had to be there by 2pm and they didn’t take me back until 2:45pm and I wasn’t done until 3:45pm so it was a long painful day. When I got home I just wanted to be alone so I decided I’d cookContinue reading “Thursday July 30…”

Well tomorrow is the BIG day. I start whole brain, jaw and sacrum XRT. I have no idea what to expect which is making things even worse. With Chemo I knew I’d feel like shit for a few days and then better and with Breast XRT I knew there would be some redness to theContinue reading “Tuesday July 28…”

I have no idea where to begin. Last we left off I was meeting with my Oncologist and Radiation Oncologist. So the plan is to start Wednesday with whole brain XRT (Radiation) which includes the base of skull and right orbit, added the left jaw and sacrum area since those are the areas that IContinue reading “Sunday July 26…”
