Home from Chemo! YIPPEE!.Got my recliner and received CT scan results....

Our day started off in traffic on the way to Emory at 7 a.m. in the morning. Boy, I was really missing my morning commute.....how in the world could I be so foolish to let something as simple as cancer keep me from sitting in "stop and go" traffic for 3 hrs. daily? Road rage, wrecks, broken down vehicles and congestion were the highlights of my morning and evening. Now what shall I do with all that productive time?

I was a little nervous about the lab work initially....nail pricks have started getting to me but this lady did a great job and started off my morning awesomely. I saw a Nurse Practioner vs. my regular Medical Ongologist and she was such a blessing. She saw how much my bandages cause alot of undue pain, understood how awful the nausea was going to be and added more steriods in my IV for nausea and prescribed something for me to take on my way home. Other than pain in my right hand veins, cold senstivity and tingling in my fingers....so far, so good! They said if I get sick it will be in 24 to 48 hrs. and additionally I may get sick 7 days out.....but God is going to control that so I'm not going to worry.

They hooked on the infusion pump to my port cath to be detached on Friday. I have 46 hrs. in my fanny pack. The port cath was very painful. Another lady came in right beside me and said she had done absolutely fine with the same chemo cocktail and as soon as she told me that she started vomiting. I felt bad for her because I could tell she was embarressed but she couldn't help it.

Well, we asked for the results of my CT scan. It was a little confusing, as it talked about lesions on my kidneys and lungs but only said they would need further follow-up. The one area that was bothersome is that they found a 1.2 cm soft tissue nodule in my right breast. They requested that I go get a mammogram just to be such everything is okay. They think it is a cyst but it showed up on the scan so they felt it was important to get it checked now! With Christ, everything is going to be CLEAN and CLEAR!! I rebuke this from my body in Jesus Name!

Now for the really good news! I got my new recliner today...YEAH, YEAH, YEAH......see pictures below....I had to try it out and now I think that I'm hyped up on all the steriods, I need to get in my jammies and enjoy the comfort while I'm in a sane frame of mind....well, I'm not sure if that is going to change....so I'll just enjoy it any ole' way I can!

Thank you for the prayers today and over the next few days...it is going to determine how well this journey goes...everyone looks for the figuratively beautiful sunsets, lazy hammocks, refreshing ocean tides in their life....thus, that is what I pray today..not for just me but for all those that read this!
