Hi guys!!
I really appreciate that you haven't forgotten about me. I haven't forgotten about you either, just very busy and hardly even check more than occasionally clicking "like" on FB. I would love to be on Chaz more, I miss you!! Currently Carter is napping, so I'm hoping to take this time to update you on how I'm doing.
Overall, I'd say I'm doing pretty well, cancer wise. The one year mark has passed, which I think of now trying not to have cancer continue through my daily thoughts. I'm still taking Chemo (pills) 5 days of every 28. Side effects have varied, but nothing severe. Mostly I get very tired, but that's about the worst. I feel very blessed, since it could be much worse.
I still have MRI's done every 3 months. For the last one, my tumor was called "stable". Basically, it hasn't moved since the last MRI (when it had shown some small reduction). I don't mind that it hasn't grown, but it hasn't gotten smaller either. I want this bugger GONE!! My next MRI is to be done in May, and I continue to visualize the tumor getting smaller and smaller.
I'm still on Steroids. Hate being on them, but it probably won't change anytime soon. I hate the chubby cheeks and chin, hate the extra hair everywhere (i've never had this much waxing done!) but the good side is that my hair is growing back nice and thick! I was originally told that my hair around my scar area would never grow back (after radiation). The doctors should know not to say " never" to me
I'm back at work, but only about once a week. It's very nice to be back talking to customers and seeing dogs I've missed!
Carter has grown SO much. I'll see if I can post some pics. He is a wonderful boy. I am, again, very blessed. He's an angel.
I have to run, as I have to do laundry and dishes before he wakes up. I'll try to be on more!!! (((((Hugs)))))
