Chemo Day!

Well yesterday on 9/29 was chemo day. Went in and got my blood drawn and then went back to see the doc. My lab work was ok. Dr Oommen came in and he ask me about the size of the tumor. I told him I thought that it is gotten harder and bigger and that it was draining. So he felt of it and said that it has gotten harder and then he measure it and it was still 13 cm. Not any smaller and the softness went back to being hard. He went to go call Dr. Chow and talk with her. Then he came back and they decided to stop chemo since the tumor is not responding to it. So now we will try hormone threphy. I will be taken the drug probley for the next 5 to 10 yrs. The tumor should respond to it and make it smaller. I will return in 3 weeks to see him and then in 6 weeks to Dr. Chow. The only thing with the hormone threphy it will take longer to see and diffrents. The side of effect will be about the same but not as bad. But no hair lose I know what you are saying did I loose my hair for nothing. It will grow back it really was not for nothing cause I will have a whole new head of hair. The hot flashes will be worse oh boy can hardy wait. So I guess it me going back to shaving my legs and under my arms once it starts growning. They are still staying on the same time line. They still plan on doing surgury in Jan.

I have God's word that it is all going to be good.

I thank you all that reads my blog! Stay tune cause has this goes on this fight there will be more to read.

Early Morning

Yesterday went to Look Good Feel Better. It was good got lots of make up and a scarf. La Sha went with me we got to eat while we were there. It was nice they show us how to put on make up and tie some scarf. It was nice meeting new people that is going thru the same thing that am going thru and listening to there stories. Some were very sad. It just makes me think mine is not as bad as it seems or sounds. I am very thankful.

Chemo after effects

Chemo was really good this time. Didn't get sick not once. Friday after chemo Wed. I started to feel pretty bad. A little sick to my stomach. Went to Burleson that day and pick up my check and came home to lay down for a little bit then went back up to Texas Onco. and got fluids and didn't feel to good the whole time I was up there but after I was done went home to lay down again for a little bit and when I got up felt better. Went over to La Sha to have a sleep over with Peyton and he had a list of to do things for me and him to do it was cute. He even had a box out beside them to check them off as we did them. Got up Sat. and went to work and all day felt a little more tired then normal. But It is Sunday and I am off work and so happy that I don't have to work. I get to go to church today I'm very excited about that. Have not been in such a long time. Well been up since well really since 1am. Woke up and had trouble going back to sleep. Then 6am row around and Jaxson was up he was feeling sick so got him a wet rag and we both lay back down but I could not sleep and he was saying that his stomach was hurting. So we both got up and I fix us breakfast and then he got sick. I ask him what he ate last night and guess what he had. Mc Donalds even thou he said he only ate french fries I think they should lay off Micky D.


Got to go get ready for church.

Later

Dr. Results

Well had a doctor appointment yesterday on 9/15. Did lab first and then went to see doctor. He said that tumor has gotten softner but not much in size diffrent. He was hoping for a little more diffrent in size but glad that it has gotten softner. He said we will do a couple of more chemo. But any way got lab done and the blood counts was really good and I have a good bounce back. Then went to go do chemo started chemo around 12 noon and was done around 1:30p. So far every thing has turn out ok. Sleep pretty good except woke up at 3:30 and told not go back to sleep. My scalp is tender and starting to loose my hair. I only notice when I rub my hands thru my hair alot comes out. Shreai took me and La Sha show up and we play phase ten while I was getting my treatment. Then went to church last night and did ok had a head ach but it was a good day.

Good Night To All!

Yep not for me. I have to go to work at 11:45p until 8a. But hey at least its some work. My hours got cut back so much. But I will make it some how I always do and that some how is by God! Just turn all my money problems over to him. Well am tired try to lay down around 8p but just toss and turn. It is now 11:10p and I guess I will be leaving soon to go to work. I should be ok the lady that am watching should be sleeping so I will try to get some rest also. Well hope everyone is resting nice. See you all soon!

Another Sleepless Night In White Settlement!

I finish taking all my meds so I hope that this is the last night that I don't get any sleep. It pretty much sucks. I am so tired and worn out. I even took the meds really early but here it is 1:45 a.m and up doing nothing. Can't clean or move stuff around everyone is home and don't want to wake the boys up. The day went pretty good I guess didn't get any sleep we to a cook out and seen all the kids there that was nice. But so much drama and then when I get home there is just more drama. La Sha give me a real nice old desk but I think it is more like a vanita. I love it I got to make room for it in my room so nothing happens to it. It reminds me of my moms vanita she use to have. I think I can make it work in my room i measure it and it should be ok. My room might be crowed but that is ok I can still move around and get into my dresser and closet I am good. Well not sure what today now guess I will try to go back to bed or maybe read I don't know. Any way see you all soon.

Good sleeping!

Here we go again!

Its 1 a.m. and still awake. I think it dong on me yesterday that it was the meds. they doctor put me on after I dehydrated to give me energy. Well I think I have a little to much energy now. Saturday night and early Sunday night got no rest at all. Sleep maybe from 3:30 a.m to 5:30 a.m. Did some cleaning and then would try to go back to bed. Up withing 30 mins. doing some more cleaning all night. And it just hit me last night. So here it is Monday morning and up again. I told Shreai that I was not going to be up cleaning all night again. Lay in bed until 1:am and said here I go again. But I am not cleaning was thinking about hanging pictures since I have been here almost a year and not pictures are on the wall. Sunday morning my son call to check on me and ask how i was doing. He ask about my hair told him it was good. He told me he was going to go get his cut. He later sent me a text pic of his hair cut shorter then normal and said "For you mom I love you" It was so sweet and made me feel so good. I am not wired but let me tell you am so wide awake. I have one more day of these meds to take and then maybe I can sleep. Its not really borther me that i can't sleep but thats what I am suppose to be doing and thats what I want to do. I cry last night cause i could not sleep don't know why I guess cause that is what a person does at night. And not the least bet tired. I know I have a long road ahead of me but I sure hope that I don't have many nights like this. Well guess I better get off here and start hanging pictures I might even clean the recliner i'm sure i will find plenty to do.

See you all soon!

Its Late!

Well here it is 3am on I don't know what day it really is. But here I am I can't sleep. Been up since 1:30am. Got me some candy to eat and water to drink. Mop the living room floor. Started some laundry not sure why. Watch a little TV. Nothing really on this early in the morning. I should be in bed sleeping since I have to work tomorrow.

The latest on me. I guess i told you all that I have cancer. Went thru alot of test. Like bone scan,ct,pet scan had a echo done. They all turn out really good. So we know that it has not spread thru the rest of my body good thing. Well went for my chemo on 8/31. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. They hook me up to some fluids. Then hook me up with some nausa meds. Then started me on one of the chemo drugs which they had to push thru with a sringe it turn my urine red not to be alarm it went away. After finish with that one they hook me up with another does of chemo drug that one was a drip thru the IV into my port. Being I had my port put in on 8/27 let me tell you that when they stuck that neddle in oh my gosh did it hurt since it was still fresh. Candice took me to my first chemo round. It was kind of fun she did my toes leopard paints I will have to get some one to take a picture and post it up here she did a really good job. I had my lunch not really knowing what to expect I went ahead and ate wanted to have some thing on my stomach. La Sha show up and it was a nice surprise to see her there. I guess I got done by 2:30pm started to feel tired. Candice took me home and I lay down for a little bit. Got the boys ready for bed and down for the night. Was not to long before I started to feel a little sick not to bad. Had Shreai bring me a wet rag but I made it thru the night.

I will resume this at a later time I think I am getting sleepy now.
