Thanks for asking....
Tomorrow I would be going in for treatments....But, it is the first day of my 'Drug-Vacation'....I won't go in again till Dec. 5 for a Ct Scan ans see the Dr. the following Tues.....he will decide what treatments will follow....So, the next 6 weeks are for me.
My tumors had shrunk, but were still there. I was down to 103# and my hands and feet were always numb, as well my feet were turning purple and peeling. My fingers had already peeled twice. Just side effects from the drugs, this was expected. I still get numb fingers when they get cold, sleeping with the windows open I sleep with cotton gloves...or I wake up with stiff, numb fingers that won't bend till they warm up. Otherwise they are getting better everyday. If I travel around on the Gator without gloves my fingers get numb....so have to dress accordingly.
I hope if I get treatments in the winter it will be a different drug or being outside or going to the ice fishing house won't be happening....
I am feeling good, got the garden almost all cleaned out...tho it is all stored out in an old shed and still has to be hauled into the root cellar and much given away. The Dahlia and Canna bulbs finally got frosted last night, so should be able to dig and store them next week or so....
I feel stronger everyday, and had put on a couple pounds. Trying to build up some muscle, so walk more than before and don't get as tired doing just little chores....So am improving alot. I have mixed up 2 batches of wine and think I am done in the cannery/kithen for the season...might just throw away the last of the tomatoes, just keep enough for eating....There still are apples, but might juice them as I mix up batches of wine...or give them away....Then the kitchen needs a major cleaning after all that daily activity in there....
So, tomorrow someone who needs my appointment more than me will be sitting in my big cushy Lazy-Boy recliner taking their treatment....I will be putzing around here enjoying the 'First Day Of The Rest Of My Life'.....but, everyday is the first day of the rest of all our lives.
Will keep you posted on conditions and changes....
LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!
