Hey wrang...sending mom & you gentle hugs! Hey, no worries...life does happen sometimes, so things have to be changed. I will be keeping you both close in thoughts & sending positive light your way. Wishing all the best possible outcomes for her, wrang!

UPDATE: Tomorrow should be my last IV infusion at the oncologists.... I am feeling a bit better with the 8 I have gotten. I am now back to monthly B12 injections (I give those to myself). My hemoglobin is up to 11, so will recheck tomorrow. My ferritin levels have come back up greatly...were down to 8. Am hopeful my RBC's will be in much better range this next lab draw, hopefully! I will be seeing the oncologist every 4 months instead of yearly.
Overall I am feeling a bit more energized now... Thank you all for continually supporting me & keeping me in some good juju! Wishing us all brighter days to come.

Thank you to you both! She is getting her chemo now. The next step is a CT on the 25th and then an appointment with her oncologist on the 26th to go over the results. She's been feeling pretty poorly lately so I am hoping all this goes in her favor.

I appreciate your kind words and support. I wish you both the best and I am sending you positive vibes!

P.S. I am super proud of myself. This is the first time I ever quoted multiple messages.

Good job on multiquotes, wrang!! I can't even do THAT! I even forgot how to post a pic to someone's page....
Anyway, still sending good energy & strength to you & your mom. I will not remember these dates but do let me know how things go, please?
Hugs you both...

Thank YOU for your friendship & support always wrang!!

Last Monday I took mom for a CT scan. On Friday we went to the oncologist. The 2 spots are still there. However, they don't know if they are cancer or not. They said it could be treated cancer. They have stopped chemo treatments for two months because they said her body can't handle any more at this time. Her body needs time to rest and heal. Her CA125 is within normal range. We'll go back in August to check those numbers again. Hopefully, they stay the same.

Thank you, Chad. Overall she is doing well. She walks every day, goes to the YMCA a few times a week to swim and walk. She does things outside like working in the flower beds and various other activities. She just gets tired very quickly but doesn't sleep well. Plus, she's much weaker than she was.

She's also doing things like backing the car into the flower bed. Then she went to the store but forgot a few things on her list so I had to run back over there. I think the chemo has caused her to become a little foggy. Hoping that fog lifts during the chemo break.

I hope you and your mom are doing well. The addition sounds nice. Maybe you could add another wing for weary butches.

Thanks again!
