HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! In the words of the late, great James Brown "I feel good". For the last 5-6 days I have felt the best I have since this ordeal started. My wonderful husband is trying to keep me from doing anything other than what is necessary. Yesterday I convinced him to let me do dinner because I feel good now and may not feel so great next week. Yesterday we even went to Costco. I convinced him $50 was toooooo much to spend for some roses although I dearly love all flowers. Today he gave me a small heart shaped vase with an orchid and some greens that can sit on my desk where I can see it all day. Also some Ghirardelli dark chocolate squares filled with strawberry, orange and raspberry. What a guy!!
Yesterday I saw both docs. Dr Banghar in the AM and I was down 15 lbs. I do not recommend my weight loss program to anyone. He promised me no more chemo. I will see him again in two months to schedule the PET scan to make sure all cancer is gone. In the PM I had my radiation treatment and then saw Dr Lee. He is still telling me I will have pain that will probably get worse before it gets better. I only have seven more treatments and then I'm done. I have pain pills and I will grit my teeth and bear it so I can get this over with. At least I won't get sick like I did since there is no chemo involved. I don't have a lot of strength, but that will improve. When we get back to "the Ranch" next week I will start with short walks as soon as the pain is manageable.
Time to have some lunch and get ready to go for treatment. Love to you all.
