I know I am really bad about writeing and keeping you all posted.  I will try to do better.  My cat scan results were very promising.  My tumors originally were 3.0 ,2.7, 2.4 cinnimeters in size and now they are all under 1.o cinn. in size.  Needles to say I am very happy about that.  I still have to complete at least 2 more chemo treatments which will make a total of 6.  I'll get another ct scan then to determine the next course of action.  My biggest and most annoying side effect this time around is the fatigue. I don't feel like doing anything untill about 5 days before my round of treatment starts again.  My hemoglobin has dropped real low so now I I am also getting a shot called Aranesp to bring it up.  Also enemic. All from the meds. 

  For those of you who are getting the Nulasta shot try this;;; Take 1 ea. 12hr. Aleve and Claritin One hour before the shot.  It really worked for me to alleviate the bone aches and after effects of the shot.

  The weather here is still really nice.  70's and 80's for our high.  Can't beat that. A little windy today.  I have done no xmas. decorating as I havn't felt like it.  I need Michelle here to help me out.  Ha""""  Xmas is my favorite holiday.                              Carol
