Chemo's a No Go

My port was drawing fine, had beautiful blood return and took the drip for all the premeds fine. When they went to push my Adriamycin (the wonder drug that turns your Urine red and makes your hair fall out) it wouldn't go in. So I had too go for a dye study and have a clot dissolved. Chemo is rescheduled for Monday. WhooPee!! At least it means I can go to my office party tomorrow night. As my husband says I'll be sauced up.

Chinese Christmas Party

Well, it's chemo time again. Luckily a couple of friends of ours, Chris & Mary, threw a Christmas party on an off-chemo week. It was so much fun. This is the best group of people I have ever known. They all have such huge hearts and are so kind, but yet you can be a total smart ass with them and it's all cool. Here's a pic of me & Jerry at the party. As you can see the eyebrows are giving up their fight. I'm down to about 12 eyelashes. I thought I'd put some mascara on the other day to make them look larger. HA! Mascara looks pretty funny on just 12 lashes. I looked like some wierd anorexic Tammy Baker!

CT Results

Well I had a CT scan last week and the results are pretty good. The tumors in my neck are completely clear. The tumors on either side of my diaphragm have shrunk to almost gone and the mass under my right sternum/clavical region has gone from 6x5 cm to 5x4 cm. I have 3 more Chemo's left then we'll do another CT. If CT still looks good then we'll do another PET scan. If there are still active cancer cells, but no more shrinkage then we'll have to do radiation.
