Time to relax

I went to the Dr. today and got a shot to bring my white blood count back up!  OUCH  Last week I had chemo on Thursday.  I did get my CA19-9 back and it had gone down about 70 points.  Dr. Raju would of liked it to have gone down more since in the past it always went down by the hundreds.  I just have to be thankful that it went down 70 and not up 70.  It is now effecting my ovaries so I have been having a lot of pain.  Feels like really bad cramps all the time.  My sister came down to see me last Thursday and that was a great surprise then my brother and his family surprised us on Friday so it was a fun weekend.  I don't have to do chemo this week since we are leaving for vacation yes vacation!  I feel we all need to get away and relax and enjoy life a  little.  Looking forward to making lots of memories!!!!!  When we get back I will be hitting chemo hard again for two weeks then we will do another PET scan and CT scan! I am so thankful that I am well enough to go on this trip!  I will post pictures when I get back...  Please pray for safe travels and that my immune system will handle this.  I will be wearing a mask and washing my hands a lot!!! 

Another Week Lord HELP Me

I went for blood work yesterday thinking that I wouldn't have to do a shot but my white blood count was only at a 2.0 and that is way too low so I did the shot.  I go back Thursday for blood work so pray it is higher so I am able to do chemo.  I also see the Dr. Thursday and then chemo.  I have been fighting depression!  I know it goes along with this but it is frustrating.  I feel like I am trapped in a 80 year old body.  On a good note we leave for Cozumel in 10 days.  My toes need to be in the sand. So after this treatment I have another one next week then off we go!  Keep praying that I bounce back fast.  I refuse to feel bad on vacation.  We are waiting for my CA19-9 test to come back so as soon as I get the numbers I will post it!  Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!!!!

Another Week

Went for a shot today.  We have decided that I don't need to take two a week but only one.  That is great cause I only get to feel like I have the flu one day not two!!! I go for chemo on Thursday!!!  My CA19-9 count went down 300 points.  I would of liked for it to have gone down more but I will take it.  At least it is going in the right direction.  OK so now I stay on oral chemo until next Wed. then a break until he 21st.  Shot the 21st chemo on the 23rd then again  the next week but on June 2nd my toes will be in the sand on a beach in MEXICO!!!!!!  I think having something to look forward to helps through the hard time.  The times when you are all alone and sick of fighting.  When I was at the Dr. this morning usually there are elderly people there but today there was a guy I would say probably in his early 20's.  I was wondering what kind of cancer he was fighting.  I could see in his face the same way I was feeling. Hurry and get me out of here!!!  He looked tired and weak.  I pray strength for him and that he is healed!!  Thank you again for all the prayers, food that has been brought over, and for those who are still donating and helping us financially!  I hope everyone has a very blessed week!!!
