Good News, Better News and Paid In Full!

Hola!  Well, I would like to begin this blog by saying a HUGE thank you to all who have contributed to my Go Fund me account.  Especially Cynthia Johnson, who spearheaded the whole thing.  I would never have asked or gone through with it but the fact that she knows me well enough, and knows the struggle I had on the 1st journey, to put that out there was humbling.  More so was the overwhelming support that I received, there are no word to express how humbled I was by the amount of support I received.  I can say that the PET Scan that I had to have a few weeks ago was PAID IN FULL!  I was able to pay for the whole thing!  Just one more thing I don't have to worry about.  I continue to mount up bills but the fact that is one I don't have to worry about and I am in the process of paying for other deductible related expenses in the coming days.  I have a mound of bills on my desk to address!

Ok, now the Good News, So I had a PET Scan on Jan. 11th, in hopes to stop chemo.....or at least that's what I was in hopes for, and the results were great....except I have to keep doing chemo.  My tumor was 4.9cm and it was shrunk to 2.9cm with activity (there is another name I will tell you later) was 33 and it dropped to like 10.  To say that the cancer has had a positive response is an understatement.   However, my oncologist wants the entire tumor to be gone when I have surgery.

Better News!  I only have 1 chemo treatment left.  ONE MORE LEFT!!!!   I will be honest, chemo has really started to be hard, the last one has been pretty bad, I had chemo on Thursday 1/21 and I still don't feel back to my self.  More fatigue, more nausea, no appetite, aches and joint pain, not trying to be a whinny baby just wanted to let you know CHEMO SUCKS!!!!

I continue to thank you for all your prayers and support.  I will continue to update more. I'm not sure if there is more I need to say because I still have that Chemo Brain thing going on but I think I covered all the basis this time.

Talk to you all later!

Smooches!
