Feeling great!

Hate to say that it's sunny and a warm 86 degrees out, when in Michigan they are having freezing rain!  We had a wonderful time with our friends Tracey and Craig and today Beth arrives for a weeks stay.  Good thing as she is bringing me more books to read.  I've been averaging a book every few days!!!  There's something about sitting on the beach and being able to read.  I have lots of books and it was one thing I wanted to do before getting sick, was to read everyday.  However the chemo makes it impossible to focus for any length of time and I become frustrated at the inability to retain what I just read, so my books have just stayed on the shelf.

I have been feeling great except for a little swelling in one foot and hand, which I had at home and my hair starting to fall out..  Every now and then the nausea returns, mostly from food smells.  Still can't stand the smell of baking bread!  Another 2 weeks here in Paradise then it's back to the Dr.s, chemo, tests, cat scans....ugh :(

It's been awhile...

It's been a few weeks since I've wrote on my blog.  I did fly home for chemo and it did kick my ass.  The first few days I slept 17 hours each day, getting out of bed only to use the bathroom and get something to drink.  It was like I was at the beginning of treatment all over again.  It was nice to have Abby, Mom and Beth staying with me when I was home, even if I was sleeping most of the time, and when I was up talking to them I don't remember much of the conversations!!!  I arrived back to Mexico still feeling pretty exhausted, but have recovered and am having a great time with our friends Tracey and Craig who are here for 10 days.  The weather couldn't be any nicer, blue skies, sunny and a great breeze coming from the ocean.  We have been doing alot and I'm falling asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, but it's all good.  When I return home I have chemo and a cat scan and will find out what the next step is....surgery or more chemo.  Still thinking about checking into having a second opinion as it's been 7 months since being "re-diagnosed".....maybe it's just me thinking more should be happening???? but don't really want to have to continue with the chemo indefinitely.....Until then I'm going to continue to enjoy my time here in paradise with Bob and friends, continue to read , eat, think and pray and thank God for his many blessings....xoxo

2 weeks

It's been two weeks since I've been in Mexico.  I'm having a wonderful time sitting on the beach and reading.  It's nice to have the time to be "alone" for a while, to think, rest and pray.  But my time is up come Saturday as I have to return home for chemo.  Hoping the weather holds out and is as nice as it has been....no snow to speak of.  The weather here has been cloudy and cool ..thou it is still in the 80's..so I can't complain too much.  Not looking forward to the flight home, but miss Abby, Mom and friends so it will be good to see them for a few days...chemo on Monday and on the plane Thursday back to Mexico...hopefully the chemo won't kick my ass too bad..   Will keep everyone posted on how it goes.....          Peace & Love     Marcia
