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

Glad that chemo blip vanished from your sun-and-sand radar soon after it appeared. Enjoy your recharge time, Marcia!
Peace,

WRT the second opinion, if it will help your mind rest easy, then by all means get one. You know enough about cancer that your questions are likely to be reality-based and insightful; if the answers you get leave you with nagging doubts, see if there are other answers to be had. If you get the same answers both places, at least there's corroboration for what you're being told; even if it's not what you'd like to hear it still may be a comfort to have more confidence in it.
