Update

I am feeling good these days. On my off Chemo weeks, it is crazy what normal life I lead. Kids at the park, Costco runs, B-Day parties...etc. Then Monday comes on the week I am supposed to have Chemo and I start to prepare mentally. On some days I wish I could have "Ground Hog Day" everyday. Even though I would have to do the same day over and over, at least I could stay in the moment. Anyways, I did have my blood tested this week. The platelets look good but the White blood cells were down. My doc is not worried about is. She thinks it will come back up. I have Chemo on Thurs. this week. Theraspears have been put on the back burner for now. They can not do chemo at the same time so they want to wait for a while. We are looking further into risks etc... It can damage healthy liver as well. I am going to get an MRI on my next scan and my surgeon is going to review that MRI with the one I had in Oct 2005 to see exactly where I am at. So for now, I am on Chemo. I had a few good work outs this week. They take my mind off cancer and make me feel like I am in control of my body. I have been trying to do some imagery and meditation but so far I get so relaxed I fall asleep. I might have to try this sitting up. Thank for all the prayers and thoughts. I appreciate them so much. I was at a B-day party and was talking with someone who did not know me but was friends with one of my neighbors. She said she had been praying for me. It is very overwhelming the reach of the prayers. Thank you so much!
