If It's Tuesday It Must Be Another Emotional Transition

Bill and I met with Dr Hammond today.  Another amazing soul filling person who just keeps both of us going.  Tonight I just think of him and Sarah H and Heather and good tears come flowing.  How they have helped me/us through this process...  My labs came back in great shape and he confirmed I have the heart of a twenty year old.  We began to make plans for life after the red devil and taxol.  We had questions on how Avastin gets delivered for my next course, and do I need supplemental drugs with that infusion - yes.  Nuts.  I was hoping I would be one of the bodies that could cruise in and out for that infusion.  I still will require Benadryl so we are absorbing that piece.  My neuropathy has gained some momentum so keeping an extra eye on, and being mindful to report on, the newest observations with my hands, feet, nose and gums. This can last many many months and everyone is different.  There isn't a set timeframe for pins and needles to disappear and body parts to stop bleeding.  I ache to get back to the original Bill and Tracy and we talked with Dr Hammond about what my current body brings to the deal.  Bill's my guy and we explore all the new paths my battle takes us together.  I'm holding on tight to Bill and he feels good.  So if a few tears are shed along the way they just highlight the illness I left behind and the relief of having my husband and my medical team in my camp and taking me to great health. The next embrace is next week for radiation oncology.

You are so strong! Parker sends a big smile. He liked the audio books!!! Thank you!! So cute to see the look on his face when I opened them up and he was like, "hey, I know these voices!"
