Today is chemo day.  Working this am and then heading over for chemo.  It's triplet therapy week meaning I get two chemo drugs and one Bev (study drug).  Longer session today.  Bringing a book to read if I do not nod off.  

Lunch today is tuna sandwiches and vegetable soup which I am not too fond of so we will head over to the hospital for lunch.  Hopefully we can get one of their cornbread muffins.  They are so delicious!

We got cornbread muffins...yay!  Had egg salad sand for lunch.

Burning was very bad today.  Managed my way through it.   After chemo, as the day wore into evening,  my ✋️ was increasing in pain.   It ended up swelling along the vein so I left a message and the Dr called me back.   They're was concern regarding my anaphylaxis tendencies with drugs but we came up with a plan.  Heat,  ice. monitoring.   I was doing ice already so added the heat as well. 

Dinner was roasted chicken and today it was fully cooked along with roasted potatoes, mixed veggies and salad.

Kiarra and I went for walkabout to downtown Van.  We went to lululemon and she picked up a few pairs of pants and I ordered two.  My first time getting lululemon.  Definitely expensive for me but I thought...what they heck...it will be nice to try it out.

We walked around taking in the sites and then picked up some movie popcorn at a really nice theatre, friendly staff, and then took it back to the lodge to watch more of our shows on the projector Kiarra bought.

Great night but am tired.

On the road again.....woops, I mean....Ịn the air again. Yes it is that time!  Heading back to Vancouver for my last cycle, cycle 6 of chemo.  Now donʼt go getting all excited and all.....I still have to go to Vancouver every three weeks, it will just be for shorter periods of time now.   So providing all the results come back in the best way possible, I will continue on the study. I will get randomized by the computer and that will determine if I am to continue on just the study drug that I have been taking - Bevacizumab or if I will also start Mirv, the other study drug. The flight was full today and very squishy, was not the most comfortable and I ended up with a veggie sandwich....was hoping for roast beef but thatʼs what you get for sitting in the back. But hey, Air North feeds you so really canʼt complain. This cycle my sister, Miranda will be with me again and my daughter, Kiarra will join me at the end. A big thanks to Jacob and Ralph for supporting me throu...

Hello everyone  Life has been hectic, crazy and sad these last 4 months and because my routine changed from going to Vancouver every 1.5 weeks and staying there 1.5 weeks to going down every 3 weeks leaving Whitehorse Wed and flying back on Fri, it left me little time to fit in updates. I know, I know, excuses, excuses!  None the less, my treatment in January went well and reports on the CT scan were good. February, I got really sick and was not able to go out for treatment. My next visit was March 5-7 and March 26-28. Inbetween those dates, I took some me time and headed to Las Vegas with Ralph, Miranda and Neil and got to spend some time with Shiela and Jim who were also in Vegas. We had a great time and the weather was good. Made our regular donations at the slot machines but we know our limit and stay within it.....lol. Embracing the adage "enjoy life while you can", I decided (and Ralph agreed) that we could buy a new travel trailer with a slide out. Our traile...

Went to Beetlejuice with Jacob on Saturday. Was pretty good and enjoyed the time with him.  We went to the Keg for steak dinner on Sunday. Always love the steak there.  Monk headed home on Monday and Ralph flew in. Been very tired but have been trying to get some extra sleep but being a late night person makes that very difficult and because breakfast is from 7:30-8:30 you donʼt even get any sleep in time.. Been busy at work but not quite as much as the week before and after school started. Donʼt get me wrong, it is still hard to stay on top of but doing my best. Today was painting day and we chose a winter scene. Not my best work but had fun doing it. Got to visit with Glynis and Neil for a while which was really nice.
