I had a good week. I am still processing everything, in fact I think I spent both Monday and Tuesday in denial! I did read that denial, depression, hopelessness and fear are a few of the feelings or emotions people may experience! ....AJ wants to know if there is anything else he should expect?
Next week is busy. I had the PICC removed last Thursday, and by the way, my blood report was good on the Thursday the 2nd. I will have a “port” in place on Monday, the 6th, with a Dr. Brad Gurwitz...it is out patient surgery. Tuesday I have off, and then Wednesday I will meet with a transplant doctor to get info on the marrow transplant that I will need after my chemo treatment. This is more like an interview. On Thursday, I will meet with Dr. Dice to discuss more about the treatment plan and the interview with the transplant doctor. I will also start my second session of chemo, with a calcium treat called Zometa.
AJ and I are off to the lake. I will posted more after my port installation. I am really looking forward to that. It will be so much better than the PICC. I finally took a real shower last night! It was wonderful to wash my own hair! God is good and I choose life.
This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live, and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Deuteronomy 30:19-20

ReplyDeleteOkay, Sally Field takes Zometa and she was a flying nun, good sign! Take care, we are thinking of you. Rhea
ReplyDeleteGood morning Terry!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that your chemo treatments are going so well. I feared that they would make you feel sick like so many people report. I am so happy that you are still having good days to spend with your friends and family. Keeping a postive outlook is so important in this healing process.
There are many doctors located here in Dallas and some I know personally that have offered great referrals for your treatment. I do not want to overwhelm you with yet.....more information and options.....but, I want you to know that there are some very well respected doctors here that have had great success treating this type of cancer. It sounds as if you have a wonderful team of doctors located right there in San Antonio....I am so grateful for that. God will work to heal you through the hands of your doctors.
God bless you!
