Just One More Taxol!

This will sound weird, but I'm going to kind of miss my weekly chemo.  I've been lucky enough to have a friend come with me to every treatment and scan since I started this in September.  I have one more Friday, Sarah is coming with me for that.  I have a CT scan and bone scan next Wednesday.  And after that, I think the plan is going in for an infusion every 3 weeks.  I've enjoyed so much being able to talk to you, to laugh with you, and sometimes cry with you.  It's been a tremendous blessing to me!

Navigating stage 4 is tricky business.  Sometimes I feel optimistic, and sometimes I just don't!  I'm feeling a little anxious this weekend, as I anticipate my scans on Wednesday.  I have to go in early for an injection specific to the bone scan.  I've never done a scan like this, so I assume they are wanting to light up any cancer that may have spread to bones.  I have no idea what to expect.  

On Friday, I needed to pick up the "berry smoothie" drink while I was there, but both Regena and I forgot completely, despite spending a lot of time sitting around waiting for things to happen.  It took 3.5 hours to get through the one hour infusion.  So, I'm going back up on Monday to get my berry smoothie so it can be chilled when I start drinking it early Wednesday.  Please pray with us that we'll get good news from BOTH scans!

Tuesday I'm going up to Ogden to attend the temple with a dear friend, Jenny.  She is another friend of Michelle, they've helped me so much!  Me and Michelle fell apart about the same time.  She was diagnosed with a C. Diff. infection about the same time I got my diagnosis.  So I haven't been able to help Michelle like I normally would have.  Jenny and Dave picked up some of the slack, despite their own health concerns and large family to take care off.  I love them a lot!  They've been good to both Me and Michelle.
