Saw the doctor yesterday before chemo. Found several new small lesions in lung area and a new lesion in the right breast. However, the liver had no change which is what we are more concerned about so I'm taking this as good news. I continue on the IV hercepton, injection Abreva and Xeloda pills for the next 6 weeks and then another scan. Hopefully it will show better progress.
Until then I continue my usual schedule and get on with my life. I'll keep you updated as I get more info.

Hi ~ Today started out early as I was at the hospital at 6:15AM for my CT scan on my liver. I have had this tech before and he is very good with a great demeanor. Everything went well as far as the IV. I decided that after 8 years of not having IV's in my right arm that enough is enough. I made an executive decision that chemo is in the left arm and tests in the right arm. It's my arm and I'll do what I want to (do what I want to - do what I want to). Sorry got carried away there. After the test was complete I had a sense of peace if that makes any sense. Almost like I could feel all the positive energy coming from my family and friends. Let's hope it a good omen.
Test results tomorrow afternoon before chemo. Depending on the results they may change the drugs I'm getting.
Until I hear more - keep those positive energy vibes coming my way!

Hope everyone is surviving the heat. I for one like it. Just remember February 1st (the snow storm - not my birthday). Compared to that this is heaven.
Feeling better today. The weekend was a bust. Spent most of it sleeping. Yesterday wasn't any better but managed to get through the work day. Thank God I have wonderful people who surround me and try to make my day easier to get through.
Next week Tuesday (July 26) is the big day. CAT Scan on the liver. Hopefully is will show improvement or stable. Let's all keep our fingers (and toes) crossed. I expect to have the results when I see the doctor before chemo the next day and will let you know as soon as I hear something.
Until then remember my new motto - JUST DANCE!

Wednesday, July 6
Once in a while a thought will hit me and get me starting to think and in most cases over analyze things. Driving home last night I was listening to the radio and a song came on that started me thinking of my life and current situation. I realized in a strange perverse sort of way that my diagnosis is a gift. Ok, before you thinking I've really gone over the edge let me explain.
We are all going to die sooner or later. That's a given we just can't get away from. But when I was told last year of my cancer I was given a hour glass filled with tiny particles of sand. I don't know how big that hour glass is or how fast the sand is falling but I know its there. I look at every day as a gift. So many of us look at living in the past or future. What we should be doing is looking at living in the present and taking advantage of everything put in front of us. It's so easy to say that we will eventually get to it and in some cases that time never arrives. Problem is we think there is always time and until you're in a situation like I am you don't think that that time could be shortened in a heart beat. So my gift to you my friends is to tell you to DANCE. Don't put things off you want to do because that time may never get here. Take those art lessons, travel to that spot you always wanted to go, make that new friend, be with your friends instead of worrying about cleaning the house. Remember for every door that closes another one opens. Your have a choice - you could just sit it out or dance. Just DANCE!
