HAPPY ARBOR DAY! I am thankful for a weekend to spend with family and friends before my new chemo starts! Good Luck Diamond Dawgs and Lincoln Marathoners!

Sad News- Turns out the chemo I've been on hasn't been working. CT scans indicate previous areas of cancer are larger & there are a smattering of new areas.

May 3rd I start a new chemotherapy regimen- full steam ahead! I wish I wasn't going into this already fatigued! Dan & I did sit down and tell the boys tonight!

Thankful for?! Kids who are tough as nails! I pray they wouldn't need to be.

Called to get my CT results from the nurse like I always do. The receptionist said she would have my nurse call me back, like she always does....no call.......

Called for my results the 2nd time & the receptionist put me on hold for the nurse & then got back on the phone to say the Doc will call me. Not sounding good!

Thankful for?!? Friends who talk me through all the possibilities and remind me I have Adivan.... Those through "Thick and Thin" friends! Love you guys!

My Doc didn't call with my scan results yesterday, so I will call this morning and see what I can find out! My fingers and toes are starting to cramp!!! =)

THANKFUL for?!? The story posted below! 17 years is a long time to live with this disease, physically and mentally! What HOPE she provides for human STRENGTH!

Heading to get MRI of brain. Was having some symptoms& then last night I passed out. Just need to check things out since I haven't had MRI lately.

May next appt with my Oncologist is May 3rd.

Cancer update: Tykerb/Xeloda are my current chemos. The lymphnodes & lung/liver are clear & the rib is unchanged/painful. New cancer in my tibia (shin bone).

ONj Update: The condition has not gotten any better, but I have a doc at the pain clinic who is managing my meds & the pain is under fairly good control! Whew!
