Today should have been the last day of chemo...and it still very well may be...we wont know until December 4th.
and that's okay...
so, today we wore party hats and crowns and brought in some yummy funfetti cupcakes to chemo and had a "Hopefully this is our last chemo EVER party!"
Here is my mom with her favorite fellas Lance and Carlos in her party hat with sparklies...they've been calling us the party chicks since day one...that's weird, I wonder where they got that impression...
The schedule for the nest few weeks has lightened up considerably, but there are still a million appointments.
Tomorrow is the Neulasta shot...this is the one to help rebuild the WBC.
Friday is the Procrit shot...this is the one to help build up the RBC.
Monday and Wednesday of next week are CBC and CBC Chem Panel Blood tests.
Tuesday (12/2) is CT Scan, abdomen and pelvis Scan. This is a BIG one...this one tells us how the canser is doing...how it IS NOT GROWING!
Friday (12/5) is the prechemo visit with Dr. Paroly. He will review all of the blood tests as well as the CT Scan and tell my mom whether or not she will be needing anymore chemo.
I have a little favor to ask...over the next few weeks could all of you please, please just keep doing what you have been doing and sending out all of that good ju-ju for excellent scan results and no more chemo, we would really appreciate it.
We hate going to chemo and getting poked and feeling like shit and getting scans done and being bald and feeling tired all of the time...we are over it.
So, here's to clean scans and no more chemo!
hugs

I have seen flowers come in stony places
And kind things done by men with ugly faces
And the gold cup won by the worst horse at the races,
So I trust too.

I think you should make a list of some crazy shit we gotta do for every time there is a good test result or good news period. Make the stuff a little nuts and we will do it..oh trust me, we will do it...then we can share our insanity stories with you so you can both laugh your boots off!
Its a new day....we look to the future. Positive thoughts generate positive results.
Love ya..

Oh and nothing we can get arrested for please!!
If she has to have more, I'd go for her if they'd let me. I wish I could take her chemo for her. Even if just once to give her a break.
If she wants, she can have my hair. It's got a lot of gray in it, but she can make it any color she wants!
love you guys. All of you.
Lots of Love and Aloha,
