Some updates

 
Last week I had a really busy week. Monday I had yet another blood transfusion. My red blood cell counts continue to drop after a couple of chemo cycles. After I get my blood I am good for a few cycles and then they go back down again. When My red cell counts go down the oxygen in my blood is very low and it makes me anemic. It is very hard to breath and I find it hard even climbing the steps to read Little E a book at bedtime. After I get my transfusion I am back to normal and feel great.

Last Wednesday I had a scan to see how my chemo is coming along. There were some slight changes in a few areas and I will find out tomorrow wheather My Doctor will change my chemo. We are talking Millimeters here. So He is right on it, conferencing with other doctors and even consulting some of his buddies at Hopkins. I was not prepared for the change but am confident in how my doctor is handling it and I am ready to do whatever I can to keep plugging along here and kick cancer's butt!

Finny is doing very well. His leg is healing nicely and we are hoping to get his bandage and staples removed tomorrow. He is not at all fond of being on a leash every time he goes out. He is ready to go out and resume his daily activities. Harassing goats, chewing boots, and knocking over trash cans, oh and rolling in dead toads. I however have not missed any of his trouble causing activities and find the short break a welcomed change. I know deep down inside that he is planning a doosie of a day after he is a free man! I will be prepared!

Positive thinking, girl! Just keep it flying around you like little hummingbirds.

A thousand hugs.

Prayers going out for your Docs that they continue to make good decisions for your healing.

I'm sure that Finny will be totally naughty at the first possible time!

Love ya Chica!

Glad your doc is the "right on top of it" and "consult with colleagues" type! That's always reassuring.

I had surgery on Thursday (gallbladder) and a good friend offered to take my hooligan-hound for a long walk with her dog on Sunday. Both dogs returned in a state of total exhaustion, thank goodness - because that way, my pup and I matched energy levels, and we both had a long nap!

Big cyber hugs from MI to you Sarah! You are a tough one and I so admire you for your strength through your cancer struggle. Chemo is so hard on the body! Thank you for your update!
