HEALTH UPDATE: The fevers keep coming. I’ve had a few breaks. One overnight with no fever and also a few morning with very low. The antibiotics don’t seem to be helping so I can only conclude it is cancer or immunotherapy related. The fevers are predictable and they feel the same over and over. OneContinue reading “How Great Thou Art”

HEALTH UPDATE: It seems like it’s been I while. I can’t remember where I’ve left off. Since my first immunotherapy treatment on March 13th, my fevers have continued, higher and almost always all day long, along with severe fatigue, lack of appetite and GI issues. On Tuesday this week my temperature reached 102.1 overnight. ItContinue reading “Temporary”

HEALTH UPDATE: First dose went off without a hitch. No immediate side affects or crazy reactions. Labs and ECG were all fine. This drug works very slowly. It likely won’t even start working for a few weeks. I will get my dose every 3 weeks. I was treated like a star. I had my ownContinue reading “Immunotherapy”

HEALTH UPDATE: I feel like crap! There really are no answers but I suspect the chemo was actually taking care of some of my symptoms. I had my last treatment 2/12 with the home chemo bomb until 2/14. I haven’t had chemo so I can be “clean” and free of any other drugs for whenContinue reading “Springtime Hope”

HEALTH UPDATE: None More ramblings…. I suppose about an hour or two after my last post was published, you won’t believe what happened!???!!!! I have no fever. I. HAVE. NO. FEVER. Not high, not low grade. NO fever. I didn’t cheat and take Tylenol. NO fever. I may sound like I’ve lost my marbles aContinue reading “Just Like That!”

HEALTH UPDATE: I’ve had a low grade fever for 10 days straight. Could be a virus. Could be cancer related. No way to be sure. I went to the ER Sunday to get it checked out. It’s not a bacterial infection. Chest x-ray and labs were all negative. I was notified yesterday that I willContinue reading “Grumpy and Grateful”

My sweet love Willow is 5 years old. She has become very jealous of the cards that I receive. If you have a few extra moments in the day could you send her a quick hello? I’ve been debating with this because I know I created this by spoiling the snot out of her. ThenContinue reading “Special request for a very special girl”

HEALTH UPDATE: This spa day, otherwise known as chemo day, was very different than all the others. We skipped the chemo part. The tumor monster has rejected the chemo’s powers. Although the powers held back growth, it did not minimize and that is exactly what must happen. Goodbye folfirinox. Thanks for not making me worseContinue reading “It’s time”

HEALTH UPDATE: Many unknown questions waiting for answers at this time. Last week consisted of a visit to Integrated Health, Imaging/Radiology for the crazy scan and MRI and Genetic Counseling. We are waiting for the full explanation of my crazy scan and genetic tests. Next week Wednesday is spa day. I’ve been feeling worse thisContinue reading “Thank you God”

HEALTH UPDATE: Another big week ahead. Meeting with Integrated Health on Monday for information on healing hands and massage therapy. Sounds fun. Tuesday is a big day. Crazy scan at 1 pm along with MRI. This specialty scan (crazy scan) will tell us if I indeed have the COLLISION tumor (more specifically, the neuroendocrine tumor)Continue reading “All In”
