This is an-inbetween chemo week, so I slowly get a little stronger after the punch of chemo. Two days after chemo last week, I spent the day with lots of naps, not normal for me. As usual, I'm waiting for the next chemo on Tuesday. Monday I have a PET SCAN, which will show where the cancer is and we will compare it to the one from early March. Hope to see changes!
As the weather here turns to summer, John has had me walk up and down the cul-de-sac each day or evening, trying to build up my strength. I am getting stronger.
Tonight I am doing something I haven't done in several months: going to my evening book club. My bedtime now is pretty early, so staying out late will be an experiment. Hope I don't fall asleep during book club!
Thinkin' about you and keeping you in prayer. Sounds like your "personal trainer" is assisting you in keeping your strength up. That's good!! Just know that you have a whole team rooting for you!

Hi, Marilyn. Just wanted you to know that I am rooting for you! Keep up the good fight! I am here, backing you up with prayer. I know God holds you in the palm of His hand. You are safe, no matter the outcome....BUT we have a specific outcome in mind! I pay this "journey" will be a positive growth experience for you and your family. Wish I could do more than pray, but I am forced to let God take the lead here. He's far more suited, anyway. Love you!
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, Something for you to think about...Have you checked out any clinical trials? I know we have one for Stage IV colon CA at Nebraska Medical Center. Also they do intraperitoneal chemo for Stage IV colon CA check out Jason FosterMD abdomenal chemo. Interesting we used to do peritoneal chemo for ovarian CA. We no longer give chemo on our floor...we have a huge cancer treatment ceter that does most of the chemo we used to do.
