As the Chemo Drips...

After beating ovarian cancer once, I've been re-diagnosed. Here I'll share my journey of chemotherapy and surgery including the ups and downs, laughter and tears and everything in between.

Belated Easter Wishes

Abby & Dan are off enjoying the sunshine in Mexico and I'm not feeling very well so it wasn't a very "happy" Easter.  Mom, Bob & I had dinner at Roxanne's with her family, which was very nice, lots of good food and Riley was so very cute.  Hated to dine and dash, but just not feeling right and wanted to get back home and in my pj's and relax.

I had thought that putting me on lower doses of chemo and taking me off one completely would of made this cycle a breeze.  I was feeling bad friday and still feel that way today..monday.  Can't really put my finger on what doesn't feel right, I'm pretty shaky and feel slightly nauseated and so very tired.  Taking anti-anxiety meds and nausea meds for now and trying to be really careful with what I eat......I have another round of chemo this friday, only one so hopefully it will be ok.

I'm once again trying my hardest to look at this in a positive way, that I hopefully have only 11 treatments left and then will be on a maintenance program.  I met a woman at a garage sale the other day who has lymphoma and her and I were talking about always looking over your shoulder cuz you never know when it's going to show up again and the constant fear you live with, thou it will always be with me.  Waiting for the warmer weather to come back to Michigan, always found it peaceful to work out in my gardens and dig in the dirt.  Thank-you for all the wonderful cards that have been sent  with the beautiful messages. Hoping everyone had a wonderful holiday with family and friends.                   Love, Marcia

    Marcia, I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well again. I too was so hoping the changes in medication would give you some blessed relief. Don't be looking over that shoulder because when you are your not seeing and enjoying what is in front of you at that moment. We can never live in our past we can only live for the present and not waste 1 single moment of it. My church in Missouri is still praying for you as is my church here in Tucson. We'll be leaving to go back to the lake for the Summer on Saturday....I too look forward to getting my hands and knees dirty in my gardens once again! This will be our first year for a vegetable garden, can't wait for that! Sending hugs and many, many prayers your way...the sunshine and warm weather is coming!
