Cancer Update
31st July 2006
Well, here I am finally in the hospital for the next 4 -5 weeks. Tom and I spent our last weekend of freedom living it up in sunny PA at Tom's sister's house. Much drinking and eating and you will all be glad to hear that cancer be damned I am still the lush I always was!! Hollow legs that's me. Adjusting to hospital confinement will not be easy but I have vowed to give it my best shot.
God knows why they need to take your vitals every 4 hours here and they saw fit to weigh me at 4:30am this morning!! Oy!!! I must be the only person gaining weight on the cancer diet!!! Sleep will be hard to come by but as the treatment progresses I will probably be spending more and more time in bed. I have a week of radiation with treatments twice a day which can get old but by the end of the week I will be done and then on to the final stage of chemo. 5 Days of high dose chemo and then I get my stem cells back and we wait for me to recover from all they have thrown at me!! Looking at being out of here by the end of August as long as all goes well. Keep fingers and toes crossed for us. We are so grateful for all thoughts and prayers and know you are all thinking of us which really helps. Hope you enjoy the blog and get used to the exclamation points, as anyone who knows me knows I am addicted to them!!!!!
P.S for all you lovely peeps at Queer Eye who sent me the gifts from Amazon.com, you should know that the robe is super soft and perfect for lounging around in!!!
