Update on Strands

Interestingly, the radiologist was unsure of his findings and called Dr. Johnson to discuss. . does this person have peritoneal cancer or not?  (don't you love it?) The strands are still there and there is some "movement" toward the gallbladder; however, overall everything looks pretty good so Dr. Johnson suggests we wait until the first of April to repeat the CT scan and start chemo if the strands look worse then. She is also setting up an appt. with a special surgeon to discuss the re-siting of my stoma.  Only a 50-50 chance he will do it but I am going for it!  It will make life so much easier!
 
Talked to Seamus on Sunday via Skype and they are going on holiday to the Red Sea to see Petra and Jordan and the Pyramids!  It has been very windy and warm in the UK.

It has not been windy but very warm here and the ocean is like a lake now.  So very calm (just like moi!)

Aunt Jean is getting along well and loves Flagler Beach.  She has so many fun art projects going!  Plus her own house guests arrive today from Wisconsin.  I'll bet they'll love it here. 

I am continuing to work on our educational campaign to get dogs off chains in Buncombe County and have found some wonderful people who are volunteering their expertise to help us.  Bravo to Kind People! 

A big thank you also to Generous People, who have helped us raise more than $60,000 since 2008 to help these poor souls.  When we started CFA and tabled at the Farmer's Market, we thought a good day was earning $50.  We will be unchaining our 100th dog within the next few weeks and will have a big celebration!  Stay tuned.

Hope all of you are happy and healthy! 

Love,

Peggy

  1. Good news that you will not be having chemo now. That must be a relief so that you and Pat can enjoy your time in Florida.
