Monday of this week was my chemo 4. With the past weekend having quite a bit of excitement, it seems I need the care of the chemo and all else that went with it. This chemo was as hard as all the others, but I seem to feel much better after each one. I have only managed to throw up only twice. This is such an improvement.
I also has some good news after my CT scan results. I have been informed that things are shrinking and chemo is doing it's job. We will continue chemo for another 6 weeks and then determine what course of action we will need to take.
I was able to spend 1.3 days with my son David, it was the most fun time I had with him. We had a good time and had a good talk. He has turned into an amazing young man. He is so compassionate and understanding. We went to Taylors Falls. We had a great time walking and hiking around. He was so playful and lot of fun. He made me smile and laugh. David also gave me a very soft tiger pillow that now I sleep with every day and night.
My sister, Selina and her boys (Russell, 13, and Elliot,10) came to stay along with my wonderful friend from Atlanta, GA, Lisa Ryan. It was good to see the boys that I have not seen forever it seems. I feel as if they are my own. They are so amazing and talented kids. I'm so proud of them.
I am grateful for all the people who have taken the time to visit me. It has been such a blessing. Sometimes it gets quite lonely, these voids are filled when my friends and family come to see me. It makes me feel as if I am part of life out there and not simply weathering away sitting in my flat all day and night. I can't thank you enough all. God bless all of you.
It was great visiting you last week. Hopefully I will be able to do that again soon! I am so happy to hear the good news about the CT scan. I am glad that you had an excellent time with David. He is getting so tall!! :)
