So I had some more spotting last night...this time a little pick tinged. Still not much, but enough to make me worry that I won't make it til next week. Of course it was followed by some sharp cramping. I cried myself to sleep & woke up feeling a little better. I went & picked up my meds today just in case. We are finally having Miss Mary's (family friend) funeral tomorrow. So, I ...

Last Friday was my DH's nonna's b-day (Italian grandma) she called to thank us for the flowers that we sent but we weren't home at the time. My DH called her back about 2hrs later & she had no clue who he was! The look on his face was devastating to me. She has alzheimer's & my DH has never really believed it before. I tried explaining that she is worse as the night goes o...3 Recommendations21 Comments

My step-mom was taken back to the OR Sunday morning. I wasn't very happy with the whole thing since no one bothered to call my dad or me. Her surgeon called me afterwards to tell me that it didn't look good & they had to remove all the remaining transplanted tissue & even more of the breast muscle. He talked to her but with the anesthesia she didn't remember any of it. I calle...1 Recommendation12 Comments

I just wanted to take a quick moment to let you know that we heard this morning that my DH's uncle passed away. We didn't make it down there in time but I think it is better that my DH didn't see his fave great uncle in a coma. He is in a much better place. He joins both his brothers, his best friend & wife, my mother in law & of course our angels Cupcake & Hope. God bless...1 Recommendation13 Comments

Yesterday at work I had one of the saddest patients ever. 25 years old & dying of cancer. She had been having abdominal pain for months, maybe years, but because she is a large girl & did not have good insurance she got the run around. Finally her appendix ruptured & they took her to surgery where they found her abdomen full of cancer....it is everywhere! They closed her up &...1 Recommendation23 Comments

My mom came & sat with me yesterday...it helped get my mind off of things, at least for a little while. Then my dad called on his way home from work to check on me...I hate telling my daddy when this happens. H...1 Recommendation30 Comments -

I have been bleeding this whole time...I am still tender too which doesn't make it any easier.

I am really starting to go crazy!!! My RE just called & my beta is down from 3167 to 935. It is certainly moving in the right direction, but not as fast as I want it to. She asked if I am ok...I told her no! I just want it to be over! How can you move on when this won't ever seem to end? They (my RE & OB) are concerned about going ahead with a D&C...they think it might be too...1 Recommendation26 Comments

I woke this morning with a call from one of my dear friends. Her son's lab was hit by a car last night...they left the 6mth old puppy for dead. Her 12 year old son is going to be devastated when he finds out after school. I am so saddened by this.
My uncle remains in ICU in Indianapolis. It doesn't sound good. He is on a ventilator, in renal & congestive heart failure. He is unresponsi...1 Recommendation14 Comments -
Ok, many of you may not understand how I could be so upset by this, but I just found out that my oncologist/transplant doctor is leaving my hospital & moving to a new transplant unit in Oregon. I am simply devastated!!! Let me explain the reason for the despair I feel right now...
