  • Moment of Peace

    JulierRae (9:23 am)

    I am sorry about you trying and exhusting day yesterday. I am blessed as my treatment center in just one township away. Thank you for your prayers for my cousins and for my Avstin treatment. I wish you peace today on your deck to recover from yesterday's trials. Do you read outside on your deck. I so enjoy that when we have good weather. Take it easy toady as you deserve it. Love and Hugs - Julie

    Hi Linda, I think that you are really remarkable to have perservered through all these months. I'm so glad that you are staying stable but I wish something new would come along where you didn't need to get treated so often. I do think my energy is slowly declining over the weeks but the week before chemo I'm usually pretty good - not back to normal but able to do things that don't require too much physical energy.

    Is it possible to get your blood tests done near home on the Friday before your chemo and have them faxed over to MSKCC? I will have my blood tests tomorrow morning, they call me on Thursday to tell me if they are okay or not, and then the hospital has them when I get there at 7:30 Friday morning. I really hate waiting. I hope you will sleep soon. Much love, Janet

    Linda, here are some flowers to brighten your day!! Thanks for the hug. Thurs I get my blood test and have a Dr James, my PCP, appointment. Then I have my Chemo on Friday plus an office visit. I will get my new CA-125 numbers then. I am hoping for a low number of course. It is always hard, the waiting. But I am going to keep myself busy this week so it will go quick. It usually does now that we are older anyway LOL. I am so glad your numbers are so good. Please pray for the same for me. Also pray for my 2 cousins. On is having a double masectomy and the other is waiting for tests to get back to see how far her cancer has spread and were it originated. I know it is in her liver and her bone marrow. Its really bad. Her poor daughter, who has her hands full with 3 young children, has already lost her grandmother, her dear Aunt and now this with her mom.
    I am sorry to be such a bummer. It is just they are on my mind. Good news is that the weather here has been beautiful, the Steelers are playing tonight, and we all have each other to lean on. Every day is a gift. Love and Hugs - Julie

    Hi Linda, I'm assuming you are at MSKCC right now and I hope all is well. I am at work "hanging in there" as I say but I am fairly tired. Basically I just want to be a couch potato; however, I'll just keep on going. I am curious about my blood counts. I'll probably find them out on Friday when I have chemo. I hope your trip home is quick and easy. I'm assuming that you are having some of the wonderful weather that's been this way. Certainly nice for November. My two year cancer anniversary is this coming Saturday. Good to have made it this far. Much love, Janet

    Oh! Congratulations! I didn't know you were goning to be a Grandmother. That is wonderful. I always say that grandchildren are your reward for getting older. Chritian and Heidi are fine. Still the jealousy problems but I know he will grow out of it. The job is not working out at all. They cut me down to 3 days, which just doesn't cut it. I have to look into some other things. Do you have chemo today? Love and hugs Anita

    Hi Linda! Sending you a hug. I've been ill and contagious, but I'm back! I have missed all of you? How is your daughter? Is it safe to send the book to you?

    Mother started her new chemo. The oncologist told her it is the strongest dosage yet. She's had one treatment and her ankles are swelling, but she sees the doctor on Wednesday. She also got to go home on her off week. My brother came to pick her up and she was absolutely giddy. She loved seeing her sisters and several of her friends gave her a tea party! She has to return to Atlanta tomorrow but we're hoping that she will be able to come home in a few weeks for good and get her chemo at my brother's hospital. He's made all the arrangements for Mother to do so. Just waiting for her oncologist's permission. She will still see him once a month, but will have chemo every other week near her home.

    I hope your treatments are going well. Have your numbers dropped again? Let me know how you are!

    Love and Hugs!

    Thanks for the comment on my journal. I hope you are well. Did a lot of sleeping lately. I don't know what is making me so tired. I don't think the low dose Cytoxzn is suppose to make you fatigued like this, so maybe it is the tail end of my cold. Finally feeling pretty good now, it time for 7 pm Family night. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. Love and Hugs and Prayers that you continue to do so well with the treatment. - Julie


  • Little Love

    IUPUI (11/06/09)

    Hi Linda, I have been falling asleep early most of this past week. Our internet has also been cutting out at home so between both of these things I haven't gotten back to you. We are continuing to have glorious weather these days. My husband and two of my sons are going to the Notre Dame football game tomorrow. They should have a great day. I know you have chemo on Monday and I hope the day goes well. My next round is next Friday. I am feeling pretty well during the day but in the evenings I am just so tired. I am very glad to have the weekend off. Here's a little love to get you through Monday. Has your CA 125 leveled off for now? I truly hope so. Love and prayers, Janet

    Hi Linda,
    Thank you, I think Miles is wonderful but I am bias! I work for a very large Grocery chain. I am a Deli manager, I also over see a seafood department and a Kitchens department. Coming the New Year I will also be taking up the job of being a Humman Resource manager. They are getting rid of 80% of their HR's and well the main managers will be required to do their job. Not exactly what we want at all!! We already have plenty to do. But I am very glad I didn't take the Humman Resource job like I was going to about a year ago, so I should just be thankful I still have my job! Anyways I hope your doing well, and feeling well!!!!

    Hi Linda,
    Here's hoping that you are having a good day...week...and beyond. I am finally able to "talk" a bit more without biting the inside of my cheek! It was amazing, I was having so much trouble getting things across on the phone...and of course, people were saying, "can you please repeat that!" Reminded me how I never had noticed how often one bends over in a day until I threw out my lower back!
    I do hope that your treatment isn't causing too much stress...is it getting cold there? We have the last of some nice days....Mac is golfing. From today on we are supposed to have many gray and rainy days. Guess it's a good time to move to Florida. Do you think that you will have the chance to visit
