My last chemo, the 12th one in this protocol program was yesterday. That does not mean I will never have chemo again. It means that this series is over. . thank goodness. I will continue to stay on pain meds and some other meds and then we are looking for the CAT scan scheduler to call us and are hoping it will be before May 25th but it may go as late as May 31st. We hope for the earliest date possible. The CAT scan is a pretty good indicator of where everything stands. My first CAT scan showed how all of my organs were smashed together Yikes. The interim ones have shown a lot of relief from the cancer fluids (less smashing!)so maybe we'll see even better results this time.
After the CAT scan we return to Asheville and I will move under the care of my original oncologist, Dr. Lucas and my surgeon, Dr. Ahearn (the ones who looks like Tom Cruise with sandy hair). Too bad you're anesthetized during surgery so you cannot look at his face the whole time! ;-)
Then we are scheduling the reconnect for the first part of August when I will recuperate for 4-5 weeks.
Meantime I will get the law passed in Buncombe this summer. . we already have some strong support from one of the commissioners and a 75% lean to our side on another. I feel confident we can win this, but will fight as though we won't. Plus I need to pace myself more.
Our fencing czar has to move on so we need someone to take the job With Compensation. Do any of you want to do this job? It involves interviewing the chainers who are normally under citation by the police so are happy to see you, then measuring the land, and heavy lifting of wire and posts mainly. The real reward is seeing the dogs run around the fence. Loving dogs is priority #1 for this job. We need you starting ASAP.
Until next time,
Peggy
The medical news sounds so positive. YEAH!! Hope someone steps up to help with the fences for our furry friends.
