Right Turn!

Left here, no right turn!  Yep we (Jack and I) got lost on the way to my appointment in San Francisco.  The traffic and weather made it a little challenging too.  Luckly we weren't too late. 

My doctor was pleased with my progress so far.  We are monitoring my gallbladder.  My doctor said she wanted me to recover from radiation before I would consider any surgery.  I feel good, but not 100% .  When she receives my lab results, she said she'd call me and let me know how my cancer markers were progressing.  We also discussed how I can stepped down my pain medication.  Thank God!

We also went over the side effects of my bone therapy again.  My doctor stressed that it was important that I take plenty of Calicium and Vitamin D.  I have to say I had a little anxiety about having that injection, I'm not good with needles.  After my doctor appointment it was off the Infusion Center for my bone therapy injection.

Small world, I ran into a sweet friend of my mine at the Infusion Center who is going through breast cancer treatment.  She was having her last chemo treatment.  It was so nice to talk and laugh with her.  She looks fantastic!  May God continue to heal you my sweet friend.  You know who you are "wink"!

When the nurse came to give me my injection in my arm, I gritted my teeth and said go for it!  (saying a little prayer to myself).  She said I would feel a little bee sting.  What?? I didn't feel anything?! Praise God! 

Well that's about it folks!  Thanks for your love and prayers.  Love to you and your family!  Hope you enjoy watching the Giants in the World Series!

Hugs and Blessings,

A Year of Faith!

I'm feeling a little better and my gallbladder has calmed down or at least the pain that is around my gallbladder.  My surgeon said if I had my gallbladder out it may not solve my gallbladder pain.   Because the pain could be coming from my tumor against my nerve in my back.  The nerves in your back wrap around to your front too.  I'm not sure if I'm going to have to surgery or not.  God is in control.

In the meantime, we have pushed back our moved to the middle of November.  I want to thank all the people who said they would help us pack or move, it means so much to both of us!  You will be contacted soon about the details regarding  the date!

Jack and I are very hopeful about everything and looking forward to our future.  We are enjoying our time now too!  We are nutri-blasting 2x a day and loving it!  We are trying to eat healthy and walking when we can.  However, lately I've been craving cheese pizza?  LOL  Oh well, baby steps!

Isn't it divine how the Catholic Church has called this year October 2012 - November 2013 as the Year of Faith!  Now more than ever am we are trusting in God! 

Thank you everyone for your love, prayers and support!  It brings tears to my eyes knowing how many people are reaching out to us.

Hugs and Blessings to You All!
