HEALTH UPDATE: I feel almost identical to the way I felt 3 weeks ago. We shall see what my lab tests reveal. Blogging in real time today. 10:21 am. Checked in for my lab appointment. Ramblings… I think it always hits me when I walk by the abandoned coffee corner. It’s closed and bare. TodayContinue reading “Let the fun begin”

HEALTH UPDATE: Kicking the tumor monster’s butt, one day at a time! Not much has changed. My knee is very angry. It is swollen and just mad. PT has helped muscle aches immensely. Weight gain has seemed to slow down. I’m so excited for warm weather and long walks again! I’ll go in next weekContinue reading “laugh, cry, share, thrive!”

HEALTH UPDATE: PT is helping!!!! I still have bad days but I also have noticeable improvement! Ramblings… Here I am. At the hospital again. I feel guilt for being tired of this routine. I’m teetering on the edge of despising my visits. The worry. The slap into reality walking into this hospital. This place isContinue reading “the social experiment”

HEALTH UPDATE: Mostly the same! Physical therapy was great! Also tried 20 minutes of yoga. Feels hopeful. Otherwise, zero major health drama! Ramblings… I love snow. I’m craving frosting because today the beautiful snow looks just like a million pounds of powdered sugar. I love to shovel. I have close and strong feelings for myContinue reading “Shoveling”

HEALTH UPDATE: Stable scans! Stable labs! Labs had some blips of abnormalities but nothing I haven’t seen before. I’m hooked up for immunotherapy as we speak. Drip drip. Ramblings…. I’ve gone through every emotion under the sun in the past few weeks. Sadness, depression, anger, rage, fear, love, appreciation, happiness and pure joy. I couldContinue reading “Stable”

HEALTH UPDATE: Good, I think? Life is distracting me. I feel slightly crippled. My legs! Trying to exercise but it makes me feel worse. Not going to stop. Signed up for physical therapy. Otherwise feeling pretty good. A little tired. A few feelings where the tumor monster resides. Not pain. Just feelings. Who knows? I’llContinue reading “WILD!”

HEALTH UPDATE: Same! Muscle and joint pain but overall good! Next appointment, including ct scan, will be 1/20/21. Ramblings….. Here I am again. Sitting in the waiting room at the Carbone Cancer Clinic. It’s starting to feel routine. It’s almost certain that I will play out this routine for the rest of my days. HighsContinue reading “Happy 2021!”

HEALTH UPDATE: All is well. Waiting for treatment. Ramblings in real time….. I really just want to hug everyone here at the hospital today. My fellow warriors here at the Carbone Cancer Clinic are looking tired and sad today. We are alone without our cheerleaders. We are distanced. I can only see eyes. I’ve caughtContinue reading “Waiting Room”

HEALTH UPDATE: Same. My next appointment is December 9th for lab tests and treatment, God willing. Ramblings… It’s been one year. December 5, 2019. The one year anniversary of my last pedicure. Everything has changed since that moment. I walked in for an hour or so of relaxation. I always get the French style onContinue reading “Keeping the faith”

HEALTH UPDATE: Chugging along! No new symptoms although I’m realizing I’m not as strong as I think I am. I’ll continue to tweak my exercise routine. It’s time to try something I’ve been fighting all my life for various reasons. Mostly because my mind has not been capable to slow down enough to focus. It’sContinue reading “Giving Thanks”
