Hi Gang! Well, I saw the dr yesterday. My counts are getting a little better...slowly.....but the weirdest thing was, that 2 weeks ago when I saw him, he said he could feel a little node under my arm, but when he checked it yesterday, he said he really couln't feel it????? Since the "uptake" on the PET was so slight and dull, could it have possibly been a false positive? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....the plot thickens...hahaha Well, he said no need for anymore chemo at the moment, so I'll go back and see him in a month and he'll repeat the scan and then we'll see. Since he's my new Dr, he doesn't realize that he's banned from any scans on me until after my birthday on March 18.......the last 2 years I've gotten my scan results just a few days before my birthday, and both years I was told my cancer had returned......anyone else see a pattern here??? hahaha So, that means, that even if I need to go back on chemo, the earliest I'll have to start it again would be April.....YEAH!!!!!! I get a couple more months of freedom from the needles and chance for my old, decrepid body to heal a little more!!!!! Our relay is the last Saturday in May, so even if back on the chemo, it would only be a couple doses and I should still have lots of energy to walk lots of laps this year!
A wonderful lady whom I met at my office the other day gave me 2 HUGE garbage bags full of yarn! She was so happy to find a good use for the yarn and now she could use her "hope chest" for something else....not just storing yarn! I still have to sort thru it all and match up colors and such to see how much of each I have, but it will sure help me with having yarn now to make either the prayer shawls or some lap warmers for our relay to give to the survivors! Isn't fate a funny thing??? I needed more yarn and this lady brought a friend to her appointment at my office. They saw the shawl that I had made for my buddy I work with and next thing I knew, she was offering me all this yarn!
Looking forward to our "mini-U" in a few weeks......it really gets everyone all psyched up for relay and it's such a great place to get ideas from other towns. Nervous about having to speak again, but I'll survive that too!
Great to see so many blogs on here!!! Keep them coming!!!!
Health and happiness to all!!! Cin
