Happy 19th
Anniversary to my great husband. We have
been together 20 years and been through a lot together.
Thanks for standing by my side, being the best dad and husband I could
ask for and loving me as much as you do.
I can’t imagine my life without you.
Here are to 20+ more. I love
you!!
A few weeks ago we
celebrated Grandma Rose's birthday. I realized all the grand-daughters
were there and took some photos. WOW. We have a lot of girls.
Doing more
each week and doing things I have put off since I got sick. I am cleaning out
drawers, closets, storage room etc. Trying
to decide the color of our bathroom and will work on that next week. I will get Halloween decoration up next
week! EXCITED! I have made it to more of McCall’s soccer
games and even went to “parent lunch day” for Callie’s school. It is so nice to get out and “be part of the
world” again.
Last week
clinic was good. I was asked to meet Dr.
Petersen (head of the oncology department and my favorite dr.) in the “conference
room” to talk about my 100 day mark and test results. (I hate the conference
room.) We’ve only got bad news there
so I jokingly requested we go somewhere else.)
We sat down and I got Jeff on speaker phone. All my numbers are
great. All my white counts, red counts, kidneys
and platelet numbers are moving positive and Dr. Petersen is happy with my
results. He did mention that because of
my unusual situation and how my cancer presented itself he is writing up my
case for the medical journals. They have
never seen a case like mine and don’t know if they ever will. He was impressed with all that I have been
through and that I am still rather healthy and beat the odds. I was given an A-.
But……and
there is always a but. (Seems like it never
ends.) My liver has not happy the last month.
Liver counts are getting too high and Dr. Petersen is getting
concerned. He is now sending me back the
Dr. Nielson (who helped me with stomach issues last year) to check and see what
we can do to fix it. It might be a mix
of things such as a liver biopsy, GVH, medicine related, drawing out blood each
week to clean the red cells etc. I feel
good and hope this is a quick fix.

Awesome news! I am amazed at what you have tackled the last 2 years. You are a trooper and I love you! As for the Liver, you will tackle that too and keep on truckin..... Did you ask Dr. Peterson when we could go get Sushi? I'm waiting!
No sushi yet. :( (No alcohol either (which doesn't bother me too much). Maybe in a few more months. Hope the liver is an easy fix....aughhhh!
Yay! I'll take a A-
