Waiting game..

Well now it's just a waiting game to see if these IL-2 treatments are going to work for me. December 3rd is the big day when we will find out. The doc. said if it works at all i will keep doing these treatments, if not, he wants to move onto a chemo agent. If this doesn't work i'm not sure if i will stick with him. i'm still really tired, but next week I have finals and lots of make up test so I'm gonna try and get to studing, sucks! So I need lots of prayers in the next four weeks that this treatment works for me so keep me at the top of your list! love u all

That Sucked..

Sorry I haven't posted in so long, but I've been feeling so bad that getting on the computer was the last thing on my mind. I went through all 14 treatments again but it was no picnic. This time 14 felt like 50! I HATE CANCER. I still look like I'm 8 months pregnant but oh my gosh, u should have seen me when I got home on saturday. My face was so big u couldn't even see one of my eyes, I looked like sloth! I have a doc. app. tomorrow at noon and I'll know more, I think, about whats going on. For now I just need to be patient and wait for the sleep to come to me! I'm hanging in there and happy to be home with the family. Luv u all!

Just call me marshmallow!

I look like a big fat marshmallow! This IL-2 makes u swell like crazy. I'm still in the hospital and have 6 treatments down. I can't wait to get out of here. Still bored, feeling pretty good, just really itchy. Love u all

Bored

I'm back in the hospital and I'm bored to death. I'm about to do my 3rd treatment, and so far so good. Josh already left this morning and went to work, so now I'm waiting for my mom to get here and keep me company. I guess I'll play some solitaire now, luv u all!

I am feeling OK today, pretty tired, but made it back to school. I took a couple of make up tests and did OK. I'm just happy my teacher is letting me make everything up so I'll at least be able to finish this semester. I'm not really ready to go back into the hospital Monday, but i am ready to get some sleep from the drugs they give me in there! The kids are still on a fall break from school, so I'm definitely not lonely. My kids r so cute!!!
So, i talked to the hospital in Maryland and they told me that when I finish this treatment and rescan my body, if it hasn't shrunk my tumors by at least 20% then they have things to offer me. So I'm betting on not having to go!!! There is a 6% chance i could fully recover after this treatment but i wont know for 6 weeks. I think my chances are way higher because i have all of you praying for me. I hope your all obeying your father! Love u all

I'm Out

Well I look like crap and feel like crap but things are getting better. If I can type, Im happy! The hospital treatments were rough the last 3 days but I did all 14 treatments, I'm so proud of myself! Anyway, tomorrow I am looking into some different treatments offered in maryalnd that will bring my odds up. So i'll let you know more about that. So I'm doing better thanks to all my family helping out. Its amazing how people pull together in time of need. Their all so strong it's crazy!. Wanna here something funny? Caryl's already asking Oprha for help!!!haha gotta love her! Love u all

day 4 sucks

well I'm not feeling that well and i really miss my kids. 8 down and 6 to go. My cheeks are chubby and my mom says my butts getting pretty big! thank you all for reminding me to stay strong, i am, although i cried just because i didn't want to eat my breakfast, but i did,don't worry mom! Luv u all

Day 3

So I'm about to get my 5th dose, and I'm feeling OK. They told me that they can go up to 14 doses but normally patients only make it through 8. I'm going for all 14! So far the worst side effect, besides just feeling like i have a flu, is the shivers, i felt like i was having a seizure, weird. The nurses here are awesome and they are taking good care of me. Love u all

Day 1

Day 1 is going good. Got the port in this morning and it sucks. I'm just lying in bed all tubed up, I don't get my first of IL-2 dose until midnight, so I'm hoping i sleep through it. I'm about to order room service and find out how tasty this food really isn't! Mom was with me all day and Josh is here to spend the night with me so I'm not lonely. luv u all!
