Great news!

Yes, you are at the right place.
I just jazzed up the old blog a bit to celebrate.

My CT scans looked great and chemo is officially over!
I am looking forward to my "new normal" which includes:

  • taking an oral drug (Femara) which is supposed to continue to hold off the nasty cancer. I am expecting minimal side effects.
  • physical therapy on my arm to maintain the progress I have made. Wearing my compression sleeve and glove.
  • continue visiting Dr. Kreg (my chiropractor) for my emotional and physical wellness.
  • the return of my hair...which actually is over 1 inch long already!
  • the return of energy to enjoy walking and biking with the kids on warm spring days.

    I can't express how thankful I am for all of the prayers, calls, cards and well wishes that I have recieved. They have made this journey much easier.
    Thank you all!

Holding pattern...

My last chemo treatment may have been my last!

At my appointment yesterday we decided to hold off on another treatment. I was able to get in for CT scans and I will go back next Monday to hear the results of those. The results will help us decide if I am done with chemo. I think it is catching up with me...I am tired.
The kids start their spring break on Friday and we are busy planning play dates and activities to keep everyone entertained. We will be spending Easter weekend with Eric, Blake and Erica.
Thank you for the prayers and good thoughts...have a wonderful Easter.

Snow!

For all of you outside of Central Ohio here is what we did this weekend:




The "Blizzard of 08" began on Friday and lasted until Saturday evening with a reported snowfall of 20.4 inches. The drifts in our yard and driveway made for lots of fun with the snowblower. School was cancelled today and the sun came out so it was a great day for sledding and building snowmen. Yes, that is our mailbox behind the kids.



I didn't have chemo today as planned. The discomfort in my hands seemed to get worse last week so after talking to my Dr. we decided to wait until next Monday the 17th. I am hoping it will be the LAST one! My hands do look and feel better today.


Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers.
