Good news!

Last week, I had a CAT scan and a Bone Scan. The CAT scan shown that the spots on my liver were Significantly Reduced!! Praise to GOD! So, we are doing something right in all this!

The Dr. gave me the rest of the month off from Chemo and I go back after the first of the year to re-evaluate the chemo plan and see how many more. I'm so happy to share this news with ya'll...the prayers are working!!! Thank YOU!!!

I'm still in a bit of a funk but it's starting to be better. I have a bit of a cold too and that has knocked me down, but I have the rest of the month to get rested and eating good!

Thank you all for your comments and well wishes and prayers, we will continue to fight this battle and I know now their is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Merry Chirstmas!

Happy Friday

Few and far between right now with posts, and I'm so sorry it is like that. But this Chemo brain keeps me from all those ideas that used to be swirling in my head, some days they do pop out but for the most part they are not anywhere to be found.

So, just to keep you on what is going on...I have scans next week and treatment again. I am not taking the treatment that was scheduled for 2 days before Christmas..so that should give the rest of the month to recover and recoup.

Making lists for Christmas shopping, not decorated the house, nor made any Christmas goodies..but this year will just have to be different.

But it is going to get better and I'm going to be healed from this mess and get back on with my life!

Have a great weekend!

My main Man

I wanted to share with you my main care-giver at this time in my life....he's been around a long time, 27 years plus to be exact...We've known each other since I was 12 and he was 14.

He wears many hats: He's the Big Daddy of fun...
Spoiler, hug giver, bites on the neck and giggle maker...

He's Mr. Fix-it or make it or repair it...

Mr. Clean it, shine it, make it nice..

And right now he's my care giver, hand holder, Chemo sitter, driver, shopper, and researcher...and most of all he's my rock.

Thank you hubby.

I love you, I couldn't make this journey with out you.

A delivery was made

By the Get Well Fairy! And be danged if I didn't get her picture...

She brought laughs, and goodies and cookies....AND she brought This:

This beautiful out pouring of hopes, prayers, and love from my blog friends and new blog friends. This wonderful window of tags, there are over 50 tags on this. Jan fixed up the window frame to hold them all and it covers it completely!

Thank you all who sent in, Thank you Jan for making this and doing all this for me! Thank You! The blog and altered art community is a wonderful place full of big hearts and outreaching hands! I'm glad to be a part of it!

Been feeling ok, proud to say, I didn't have a 'crash' day after the latest treatment, so maybe the eating better has helped. Feeling half normal does have it's up sides..lol..

Have a great Wednesday!

Another Wonderful book in the mail

Our 'other child' sent me this Wonderful book in the mail.

Tina and Scott lived across the street from us when in College Station. They became like our 'other' kids..in and out at all hours, borrowing something, eating with us, hanging out, motorcycle riding...We all had great fun. Tina made me this great little tag book with photos from things we had done at their and our house! She such a sweetie! Thank you!

This week I have another treatment. They are starting me on another med. so we'll see how that treats me come Thursday. My BFF Cee is coming to sit with me on Wed. as I take the treatment...Hope we can discuss some of our Paper Cowgirl ideas and get the June retreat going.

Looking forward to a Halloween Party at Ann-Denise's' house on Sat. We are just playing it by ear to see how I feel that day..

Hope God's blessed your day the way he's Blessed me today!

Hugs, t

Friday rambles

Where did the week go?? This has been so nice to stay home and not have an appointment to be at. I know Hub enjoyed getting back into his work and being able to do something else, other than for me..

I sooooo didn't realize this cancer thing would just consume my whole life at this time..but it has. Who would have thought you can't even go get your teeth cleaned? I can't, my white count is down. No going to Wally or Hob Lob either right now..especially when this flu thing is going along here like it is.

The girls are coming to visit tonight and tomorrow, so that is a much welcomed diversion. As for daily diversions, I'm becoming a TV zombie, as I call it..watching way more than I ever have. But when your tired, what do you do? The creative spark has went to farther than in my head for now..but that even needs a break to sometimes, so, I'm ok with it..

I do want to thank everyone for the prayers, they are keeping me uplifted and going!!!! Thank YOU so MUCH!! I will never be able to tell you the full extent of my thanks..

Hope your weekend is super!
love and hugs, t

Monday news

Today it's off to have another test, and see the Chemo Dr.

My mind is starting to roll around it's usual state instead of the disjointed mess it's been in..things are wanting to be created and things are making sense as we wade our way thru all this Cancer mess...

Thanks for all the prayers and all the thoughts, cards, surprises in the mail and phone calls. We really appreciate every last second of it!

I really hated missing out on Fall Paper Cowgirl..I know you gals had a great time and hope Cee posts some photos on the PC blog soon, for I want to see what all kinds of goodies were created down at the Crafty Scrapper...

God Bless you all!

hugs,t

One down...

Well, today was the first Chemo treatment. It was not a good night before, sleep would not come as deep as I wanted...worry would peek it's head thru, even though I gave it up to God.

My port was put in yesterday, it felt like a deck of cards under my skin..today it feels like someone hit me with a softball in the shoulder.

Hubby has been great, he's done all he can do to help lift me up and let me lean on him. Can't ask for any more...

We were at the cancer clinic from 8:00 to 3:30 today..needless to say it was a loooong day..but it's now over. I go back tomorrow for another infusion and more scans. Then hopefully home before Friday is out.

Thank you again for all the prayers, they lift me up and are truly helping us get thru this. God is good !
hugs,
tina
