TOnward Ho!!!!

Hi-

It has been a while since I last wrote....I couldn't keep my eyes open!!!! Then I found out that the last and extra treatment had left me anemic!!!!! I have also discovered that after six months of doing almost nothing.....your body doesn't just snap back. I bent over in a ballet class the other day and got stuck. My push up's now have more push than up!!!!!!! Anyway-my surgeon says he never met anyone who got every side effect. Now I am am one for the medical
journals. This week they do a colonoscopy. They want to check the work they did last may and see if anything new has entered the mix. I pray I get the all clear. Then next week- I get the port out of my chest. Looking back it seems so long ago that I became ill. I admit it is the worst thing other than my Mother passing. I am glad she wasn't here- she would worry and tell me to buck up. My older sister Marg has kept in good touch. And then there is Jim. He has had it harder than anyone. I can't imagine what it is like to have a sick wife and 2 younger children.
He has handled it all. He was laid off after 22 years and is currently looking for a job. This certainly adds stress-but as a family we will get through it.
I continue to see my oncologist forever. 6 weeks then every 3 months. They do a cancer marker test looking for anything new in the bloodstream. With work and the grade school PTC- I am busy and so no to almost all else. I am looking forward to eating some of my old favorites, when my appetite comes back. The only good thing is that I fit into all my clothes again.

More later after my tests- thanks for all the continued good wishes and prayers.
