ON THE ROAD AGAIN.....

Hi All....
Well the results of the long awaited PET scan..... wondering if it was working this time as there were not many more options
Good News is that it is working !!!!! YEAH.... There is a considerable difference in the results in comparison to the last PET scan...

This is From the actual PET scan report....

"Reduction in the size, number and metabolism of the bilateral pulmonary nodules. Soft tissue testis in the sternal insertions of the right pectoral muscles have also regressed.
In laymans terms.....

Nodules in the lung have decreased... not as many and size smaller of the ones left.

Sternum (which we have been fighting for two and a half years) has finally gotten better.. It didn't tell the activity level but we are going with the good news that its better this time.

YEAH YEAH.....

Thanks to all who have put me on their prayer lists and sent white lights and good thoughts for me...

Its finally working.... I guess God just had a reason for me to be trying out all these Chemo drugs....I have been on for the last two and a half years...

Maybe I'm supposed to be a testament to the fact that you can still live a wanderlust life while being on Chemo....Because we are sure doing that...

WE are planning to head out East at the end of next week.... --- Probable the 29th and then will have to be back here on the 18th of Oct so I can have another
treatment on the 19th and then go up to Tiffs to take care of the boys while they spend a few days in Las Vegas....Fun for them.......
Well I do have one setback or bad side effect.... Neuropathy and it makes it hard for me to type when its acting up.... I can still feel the keyboard and know which keys to hit but my fingers don't always hit them so its lots of correcting....

We are currently in Tunica Mississippi... Another gambling town like Laughlin... not as nice tho...
We are here for a couple days and then we are going back up to Memphis to see Elvis country.We are then going to meet up with our friend Kenneth and his wife and taking off for the Smokies ... It will be a nice trip but quicker than I wanted... because I have to be back on the 18th.
I'm hoping that by then (with the little break I have had in treatments) the Neuropathy will have subsided a bit as I am having a hard time walking. I feel like an old lady as I have to hang onto Jerry especially if its gravel or uneven pavement. The drug I am getting that is working has this side effect but there is nothing we can do about it at this time other than put up with it as long as its killing the Cancer. I get a bit exausted after any physical activity but other than that I feel great. Everyone tells me I dont look sick... ha ha... I have a friend that says she should get me a T-shirt made that says "I MAKE CANCER LOOK GOOD".

Well I guess thats all for today.... I'm off to see if I can find some "LUCKY LEMMINGS"....
Anyone know what a Lemming is??? Its not anything like the Casino Machine Lemmings... LOL
They are like little rodents..BUT My favorite Casino Machine is little Dr. Suess looking animals that jump into
the water or across the water to a cliff.... Fun hey???

Unitl next time..
Later
