Avastin overload.

Hello people,

Gosh I hope you all are enjoying summer! I am managing to keep busy. The other half of our family of four has arrived in Texas! Yay!!! Having my family all together, and being in my favorite state, makes me so happy. Not to mention having my oxygen levels do well in this lower altitude makes me happy. So, not that we have established that I am happy, let me tell you that I am not healthy. Of course not! I have terminal cancer. But to add to that there are all these wonderful side effects, and symptoms that are just being the crud of me. I'll share more about that in my video. This one is short and sweet. It won't eat up too much of your time or bore you. Please take a moment to hit subscribe, like, or thumbs up. Or let me know in the comments what you think of this video or what you would like me to talk about or share with you.

Thanks for stopping by.

Bye people,

todays film is Sadie performing tricks for me to pjt me in a happy mood

hello people,

After coming home from a rough day of testing and big treatment for checmo Plus getting the results of my 24 hour urine collection test and also the results of my pet scan and chest xray. My 24 hour urine show 1 gram pr protein, not quit high enough to skip the avastin this month. The pet scan shows that my cancer is under control. The chest xray shows that each month for the past three months the fluid in my lungs has increased. Breathing is difficult and painful. Sooner rather than later I will need to have another thoracentesis. Yay! Not really yay, but I have to take care of myself. So, we will continie to xray monthly and see if it continues, and think of draining it in a month or so.

In the midst of all these tests and results, I did see my doc and I did have chemo. When I came home feeling all frazzled and bummed, as well as nauseated and tied, My lovely puppy Sadie put on a little show with all the tricks she knows. Our pets are so tuned in too how we feel. So here is Sadie doing a few of the tricks she knows. They make me smile, I hope you smile too.

Time for another Petscan.

Uggggh, I feel so gross.

Hey People,

I feel so gross today. It has been cumulative. Each day since chemo on Tuesday, I have been feeling a bit yuckier than the day before. I went to chemo feeling run down and then I've been ground down by life each day since. It is becoming such a challenge to battle through life after two years of fighting this disease. So, Here is a quick video update. I'm not sure what this new painful shocky feeling in my arm is about. But I'll be getting my every three month PET scan next week. I'm sure that will tell me everything I need to know. I will update you on Tuesday if possible.

Ritalin for chemo related side effects, fatigue and weight gain

So hey there People,

I started taking Ritalin two days ago, in an effort to combat some chemo related side affects. Those are fatigue and weight gain. Apparently, in adults, this drug causes an increase in energy and stamina, as well as weight loss. I am down with that. I'm tired of being tired all the time. Having the energy to do more would be great. Plus losing some of this weight that the hormone suppression has added would be quite lovely. Don't get me wrong, I'm not counting on a return of my pre-diagnosis self. I just want to feel better than I do right now. To find out how it's going so far, watch the video below.





Thanks for stopping by, see you next week.
