Update



It's been awhile. My eye treatments are going well. I have 2 more to go, one in January and one in February. We will see ( lol no pun intended) what happens after that.

Tomorrow I go for another treatment of pammidronate. I also got news today that I am going back on my oral chemo. I am very glad. Seems strange doesn't it, happy to go back on chemo? For me it's like racing in a car without a seatbelt around a dangerous curve. WITH the chemo in my system I feel a little more secure.

I am still on vesicare, valproic acid and fragmin. I HATE the fragmin. It burns going in, gives me huge bruises and in some spots creates these bumps under my skin. They hurt. Hubby bought me a heating pad and that does help quite a bit.

Not sure if I mentioned my angel friend in my blog and what she did for our family recently. She graciously paid for a 10 day trip to DisneyWorld for all 6 of us. Hubby, 4 kids and myself. All expenses!! She is amazing :)  Just 46 more days!!! AND I'm going to meet HOLLY after 10+ years of knowing her online!!






Well Christmas is nearly upon us. I hope anyone who celebrates is reading this, I wish you a very merry christmas!!! And a happy new year!

  2. So happy for you Velda. Happy that although you struggle daily with various issues either Cancer related or not but you are still with us to struggle with anything at all. Of course I wish you didn't have the struggles but perhaps those struggles in themselves are what keeps you going... So happy for the trip, Thank you Angel for that. How absolutely wonderful for you and your family. I hope you enjoy every moment and have lots of wonderful memories to share for years to come. Have a very Merry Christmas V. All the best to you and yours in 2014! Kathy Evans xx
