Well, been a couple days.  Worked, stepped out for a bit, slept a lot (today).

The news today was not good.  My blood count numbers were down again to .8 which is below the 1 that is required to do treatment.  I was so very, very tired today.  Slept a good portion of it.  When I went for bloodwork this am, it felt like I had jelly muscles and bones.  Then I got the email news.   I am going to do bloodwork again Friday am 馃 that the numbers will come up enough.

Miranda made me eat Salmon today.  I am not a fish eater normally.  She said it was good for me.  I sucked it up and ate it.  Thankfully there was a berry compote with it.

Shout out to you monk!

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 don始t 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 that始s what you get for sitting in the back. But hey, Air North feeds you so really can始t 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 don始t even get any sleep in time.. Been busy at work but not quite as much as the week before and after school started. Don始t 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.
