Update, More Soon

With a hubby this good, 2 is better than one.

I wrote about the leaves burning and stopped my post
& went out , started a leave burn in my vented can..
I am WAY to OCD


Rich & me goofing off with I photo ..we are just a couple of kids
Rich calls me gigglypuss.
LOTFLMAO

I have so much too share I may have to post more than once.
On the deck, enjoying my Nestle that keeps me peaceful.
The leaves are changing and falling. Is that why
Autumn is referred to as "Fall"??
I love this season, cool crisp air, leaves crackling under your feet,
the smell of burning leaves and moss.


Hello!! I am back from Steroid Hell!! It was WICKED.
I am on a low dose & hopefully totally weaned off
soon. I had Gamma Knife Surgery on 3 of the first batch
of my Brain Mets. (5).

They have been through Gamma Knife Surgery, Whole Brain Radiation & a second
Gamma Knife Surgery. Right now those tumors look the same..no larger.. no smaller
but I will be getting another MRI soon, just to monitor any changes.

If these tumors don't decrease in size or start growing again, the next step
is Brain Surgery. Just drill where each tumor is , remove it & move on to 2
& 3. I'm all for that. Get rid of them & move on. I'd be in hospital for maybe
5 days, as one is a bit deep in. My balance is so off, I tumble from a
stooping position, I can't walk a straight line unless I am walking with
my arns at my sides. It's ok, I can deal .

My friends have to keep a close watch on me & my belongings. The 2nd
thing I did at the
"Fine Art Fair" at our river front, was lose my wallet with all my ID, cards, money,
insurance card EEEKKKK.

My BFFs Marcia & Michele ..Michele stayed with me, while Marcia scouted
the last place, I stopped .. It was there!!! They thought it was a little boys.. Teehee, I love it. The ladies at that table were
selling raffle tickets. No I didn't win, shoot.


I've more to post..check back .

Blessings

Thanks for all your prayers and
for caring.

Not the Best Day




MRI same as last time. Getting another Dr. My Neurologist didn't even see me. Just the oncology radiologist. I have no faith in them.


Rich agrees..the doctor acts like they don't look at my test results
and not sure what to do.

Oh..I can't get to my email either. The password has changed and I have
no idea what it is.

Yahoo.. well they are SLOW and so far no help
They tell you to change your password..but you
have to KNOW your password to change it.

I am sooo stressed.

On a good note, we saw 15 eagles...2Red Tail hawks and
2 COYOTES on the way home. That was great.

Here's Mr. Sharp Shinned hawk who sat on the deck after we got home, looking for food. I didn't see him get any here.

Oh My ..it's perfect.


Even though my breast surgery is all done..my nipple isn't right, it doesn't stick up
like my real nipple does and the color isn't right at all

This is PERFECT ..easier and I must get some.

OH ..I have another MRI scheduled for Fri. 2/5 and Doctor for Mon 2/8 for results.

Thank you Lord!!!

My Latest Test Results


Here are my latest results
I will  do the MRI and Pet/CT  every 3 months for 2 years at least

 Brain MRI~brain tumors are small..no new tumors...
YES!!!

Whole Body Pet/CT scan~a little patch on my 8 & 9 right rib..may be just a wound &
not cancer. We'll see more next time.

Thyroid Ultrasound~shows a 3 cm.(about an inch) node on the right.
I'll be going Wednesday at 7:15AM for a biopsy (FNA, Fine Needle Aspiration)
I'll call the oncologist on Friday to get that results. 

I got meds for a sinus infection/cold.

I'm doing good...my weight is staying low..but not losing more
I get tired, but who doesn't??
For all this cancer crud..I sure am healthy, thank you God.

Well, as for my 

JOYS

Sumpins Gotta Give Sumpins Gotta Give


Day of Days

Yesterday was one crazy day full of fun and NOT so fun
I had a great morning, my BFF Marcia came , we had lunch, talked, went to WallyWorld, ok sorry hubby, got the call in WallyWorld that my MRI results were,the tumors not gone were
less than half the size they were before WBR !!! GREAT news!! Still in WallyWorld in front of
the coolest pumpkins I called Rich , told him the MIRACLE news , with my speaker phone on and not figuring out how to turn it off. EEEKKKK. On to Shoppes At Grand Prairie for jeans, cuddleduds, bra, panties and LOVELY night gowns, then got some tea bags, gifts for Christmas & finally home about 6PM
Baby Daddy was upstairs sleep. I stayed up to 12:30 my OCD self would not let me rest, then came up to prepare for bed. Took my pain med & a sleeping pill. Alas I am slow now so I didn't make it to bed. After the shower it ended with tooth brushing. Rich heard a big ole melon hit the tile floor in the bath..there I lay NAKED, on my back. toothpaste on the floor on one side, brush on the other. OUT COLD.
Rich dials 911, sherrif , ambulance , firemen come..sootty boots leave TRACKS!!! hahahahaha
off to the ER, 4hours, I finally get released. I barely remember any of it, from being in the shower to getting back in bed. Read my discharge papers. OH ANOTHER FORGOTTEN THING, I had to call my oncologist Dr. Prager , to arrange to discuss the nodule on my thyroid seen on neck CT . LOL and this
dont use darvocet and ambien together unless I go DIRECTLY to bed.
ok , I am fried. Not so much, I feel better today. REALLY . Please pray I will adjust to the permanent changes in my personality & those around me will be able also!!
GOD is Good, ALL the time & ALL the time God is GOOD

ok, my mom got hurt about the lost baby post, she told me b4 she'd NOT read it again & Rich is upset with me sharing so much PERSONAL stuff about him (from last year) so out of respect...I will share OPENLY but maybe not so much about what should be between Rich & I or God and all of us
Rich & I will be out for awhile @ about 3:30PM, pray we don't do anything CRAZY
