I cannot believe that it is June this week, crazy how the time goes by. So I had my echo and they said that the fluid is still there around my heart and that it is the same amount as was there in Nov. 2020. That’s good news! Also, I saw my oncologist last weekContinue reading “May 30, 2021”

Scans… Well I am happy to report that, all in all, my scans were stable. My bone mets are still bad and there were a few new bones that showed stuff in them but I guess I expected that. The other thing was there are 2 lesions that showed up in my cerebellum, which isContinue reading “May 9, 2021”

Happy May!! I was thinking on my walk yesterday about getting my scan results. My last scans mostly showed improvement. I remember people saying, “oh that’s great news” and many other similar comments. Obviously I am grateful for good results, then I think, when will the other shoe drop?? This current regimen that I amContinue reading “May 2, 2021”

I’m back….. We got back Monday night from La Quinta. It was an amazing, relaxing trip. I actually got to see my friend Amy, a nurse I worked with at Stanford on C2. She moved to San Diego last year and before that, I hadn’t seen her for a year or two. It was soContinue reading “April 28, 2021”

I wanted to let everyone know what I told my husband the other day when he told me I should do a post. “I am on vacation from life!” I will be back to it April 27th. Until then…….

Update… I apologize for this post being late. I’ve been wanting to get on and post an update. As I mentioned in my last post, I was having my vocal cord surgery on 3/22. Well, I got there bright and early, did all the pre-op stuff, and waited for my turn. So my Dad andContinue reading “March 30, 2021”

Overdue… Once again it has been too long from my last post. Things have been going well. I finish radiation on Tuesday and it has helped with the pain which was the goal. The next big event is my vocal cord surgery next Monday 3/22. Not expecting any issues. It is a same day surgeryContinue reading “March 13, 2021”

I’ll have to get yet another Covid test the Friday before on 3/19 and my follow-up appointment is March 1st. ThanksContinue reading “February 22, 2021”

Can’t sleep, up listening to 311…. Lately I’ve been in a sort of a mood, don’t know what else to call it. I was going to say “depressed” but I’m not sure that’s even it. Just feel like I need a break. I guess I better get used to this s— b/c it seems likeContinue reading “February 21, 2021”
