Trip of a Lifetime

Saturday, September 10th, 2011

Well it has always been a lot of fun to use this blog as a record of some pretty amazing travels! The latest is titled, “The Return to Cancer”.  Not the best location, food sucks, the sights aren’t much to write home about, but it does have a few pluses.

I have met some very nice doctors and their staff. Everyone I know is lifting me up in prayer. Life is a little sweeter when it’s viewed from this perspective, and I can make light of a scary subject. Please laugh with me, it’s ok.

Kickapoo Joy JuiceI flunked my blood test this week and couldn’t start chemo. I will retake it on Monday thru the blood line they inserted in my neck this week. Also on tap, a needle biopsy of a tiny lump  in my neck that lit up on the PET scan. Another thing to worry about.Trying to eat organic and vegan and boring, and drink tons of water. Wine is allowed but not while I take a few pain pills. Sleep is wonderful, but once you wake a little, the thoughts are looming to take over, so I get up and read. It also gives me time to pray for others.

So we are hoping for Chemo to start (I call it my kickapoo joy juice…the moonshine from Lil Abner days …I am dating myself) so that radiation can happen so chemo can start again and we can get back to “normal” sometime in January.  THEN I can write about some exciting destinations!!
