Morning! Well, we didn't do very well last night, but that's ok. Not too sure the kids had much fun either...that's not so much ok. Thinking the coaches wanted to win way more than the kids. I'm thinking of going Thrift Store shopping today!! Ya know I'm feeling better when I wanna do that. I'll let you know what gems I find. Big 4th party this weekend at P&H's. I always look forward to their parties. My Monday post will give details. more later guys!

Hello everyone, it is Monday the 28th of June?! I think! I had 2 apts. today...one with my PCP and he says my thyroid is too low and my vitiman D is WAY low! So, he upped my synthroid and I am to take a ton of Vitiman D then check back in 8 weeks. He said it could have been the radiation effects that has everything outa wak. The Neurologist agrees so more meds for me. I have been feeling preaty good, so with all hormones back in order, imagine how wonderful I'll feel! Watch out! I'm getting ready to go to Spencer's baseball game, they play for the championship tonight. It is like the World Series for little leaque. We are all very nervous. I'll let you know how we did tomorrow. Gotta Run! Love to all!

Good Morning! It is Tuesday June 22nd. and I have missed a few days..so sorry about that. I do have to tell you all something funny. I went to Wally World the other day all by myself which was a big deal. I bought a huge bottle of shampoo!!!! Not sure why cause I don't need it, so if anyone needs shampoo, give me a call. I know what you all are thinking...it is from the tumor...(her brain doesn't work any more) Nope...I am 45 people and having hot flashes like you would not believe, even though I don't have girly parts anymore and taking hormones, I am flashing all over the place. Anyway...that's all I have for now, I promise to try to post more often.

Hey! still Friday, not sure where I left off but found out this morning...Cancer is not back which I was sure of because of my headaches. I made an apt. with my PCP for today to check on headaches and my high blood preasure. All of which can be managed so I'm good. Gotta check my dates cause my Aunt Millie says I have missed some of the days...gonna look now. Have a great weekend everyone! I know we will.

Happy Friday everyone!! Well, I must say that I have been beside myself for days waiting my MRI. ALL CLEAR!!! Holy moly, I really thought it was back for sure. I fell on my knees when she told me, really. I had left a stern message this morning about that no one had called me yet and I didn't care is the janitor called me I wanted to know TODAY!!! My PT is here more later!

Hey everyone, it is Tuesday evening and I can't wait to go to bed. I went to the Oncologist today because of my headaches and my volcano hotflashes. I have an MRI tomorrow so we will see if the cancer is back already. HOWEVER, I now know why I went to the Dr. today. I have never seen the waiting room so full and I sat in the only open seat. This wonderful couple that was next to me started a conversation. I won't try to repeat it...it was about an hour long. I of course started crying in the waiting room!!! She told me that a bit over 2 years ago, feeling fine, she came into these offices and was told....I'm so sorry Vicki, you have 30 days to live. Holy Cow....over 2 years ago!! WOW!!! She has lung cancer that had already spread to her liver and brain. She asked me if my prognosis was good, and I said no. Then I said...The doctors don't know everything!! Mr. Dees said isn't that the truth! So whatever the MRI says tomorrow....it's not in my hands. I told Vicki...if I would just make it until my son's graduation, I'll be ready. She told me she had said those things too. She was very comforting. I'm not worried about the dying...it's the before that scares me. Anyway, that was today....tomorrow is another story. Till Then!

Good Saturday Morning everyone!! WOW sis I have a great time last night!!! Spencer's Baseball game was amaizing! A real nail biter but they won 7-6 and they beat the number one team. Spencer plays catcher and first base and got many important outs. Can you tell I'm a proud moma? It is so much fun watching him play BBall and Football too.
Well, feeling the same, still have headache which sucks and still don't want to know if it is the cancer. Just gonna live everyday and enjoy it. Sorry to those of you who want to know...maybe another day.
Thanks for the laughs the other day Bill, I look forward to seeing you and meeting your wife and children this summer!!
Spencer says "Hello and love to all"! Do you think he reads this blog? Gotta go..love you all!

Thursday, I think! I say I think not because of a brain tumor but because I'm 45! All of you out there know what I mean...seems like when you get into your 40's, you can't remember anything..HOWEVER we ladies still remember more then our wonderful husbands, partners and alike. We can still find the keys, glasses, and important stuff. I started PT yesterday and hope I will be stronger soon. Don't want to run a marathon or anything just wanna walk like I'm not under the influence.
Thanks Bill for the laughs!! As long as I can still laugh, I'm doing well. FYI..head still hurts but I'm just going with it. Sorry for all of you how think I need to fast track to the doctor. Not sure yet if I'm gonna do it that way this time but I will keep everyone posted. Gonna have coffee outside now! Love you all!

Good Sunday Morning Everyone!! Normally this would be a great day, but for the past few days I have woken up with a headache. Not sure if I wanna know what it is or not but I will let you all know. Not sure I'll make it to church today, if my headache gets better, I'll go. School is almost out, one more day for Spencer then starts the whole.."I'm so bored" That means...take me somewhere, do something for me! As one of my friends says..."The whole world revolves around HIS bellybutton" Thanks for that Eva! Gonna go lay down now and pray my headache goes away...love to all!

Good Morning! Having Monday a holiday has thrown me way off. I thought it was Friday. It's not!! My nurse comes today for a blood draw to check my dilanton level AGAIN!!! It can't be rocket science people. At 600mg. I was at toxic levels, I now take 500mg. and it was too low (7) should be between 10 and 20. Only 100mg difference so......next week I might be falling down again. I'm gonna get some answers today. I talked to another Cancer patient at church and she and I think and agree that everyone has to take control of ones own plan and care because mistakes are made everyday and follow up is up to us not waiting on the doctor to call and say..."How is it going?" or "Why don't we do this?" I should be doing cartwheels by now and I'm not. I will post again after I talk to the nurse. She is a really nice person but today, she is not gonna like me very much.
