That's what we're here for, dump away. Hope the radiation goes well for him. We're here for you Damummis..........

Turkey day was fine for us and we did it all over again on Friday so my other daughter could be with us. Hope everyone had a nice holiday with their families. I hope 2011 goes a lot better for all of us...........here and on other threads all I'm reading lately is about people's struggle with cancer. Sad. It certainly does suck. I would like to read about how people are surviving it and NOT getting it back.

Well, that totally stinks! I want real gnocchi and I can't drive that far!!!! I'm sorry to hear about Mr. B. Sometimes people enter our lives and we feel as if we have known each other for years and we are totally blessed to have them there. Mr.&Ms. B will be in my thoughts and prayers as well.

Turkey day got pushed back a day as Lurchie had to work on thursday. No big Deal, We had Christmas dinner instead,lol. Ham with all the fixings!!! Lurchie came home and stuffed himself,lol Nothing beats my moms home cooking. I've been getting nasty emails from the rest of the family that missed out this year because they came down here, lol. She didn't fail us on our Turkey Day feast either. I'm still munching on a little of this and a little of that!. Started ham and cabbage tonight but I was just too weak to go all the way.

I've got the first diagnosed case of Influenza in the state of NC. Yeah Me!

I've been to the docs so I'm full of drugs that keep me knocked out or in a haze. If I could just cough something up or blew something out, I'm sure I will feel much better. Suppose to have chemo tomorrow, that's not happening! Next Tuesday will be the next one.

Hope everybody had a great holiday

I'm going back to bed.

Geez Louise Coyote. Do you do everything with a bang? I hope you're feeling better.

BTW I got your email - you might just get me to join FB and my daughters are bugging me to join too.

How is everyone? Does anyone remember when I got a drum kit? I listened to the CD that came with it during one of my last chemo treatments and I really liked what I heard, then I put it away and forgot about it. Well it was meant to be cause I usually don't read the freebie newspaper that gets tossed on my driveway, but I happened to be looking through it and saw an announcement for a Drum Circle meeting. I contacted the person and I start my drumming on the 19th.

The funny thing is - the person who runs it never put an ad in the paper and she asked me how I got her email

She asked if I could bring the ad, so I cut it out and have it in my purse for when I go on Sunday. hmmmmmm.............I just love stuff like that.

Kismet, I think it is called.

Hi Luna,
How are you feeling?
News about Mr B. Mr B has soft tissue round cell sarcoma on his liver. Surgeon at Mass General said he will never see a case like this again. Surgery is scheduled and while they are in they will hit him with radiation.

Things here are crazy as usual. First snow today. Helga my blue Cochin hen is waiting for duck eggs to hatch. I am busy as ever.
Other than that, I can't complain.

Chemo today. They only gave me one of the drugs because my last blood tests showed higher liver enzyme levels. They wanted to check my blood again since I haven't been on chemo for the last 2 weeks to see. Takes a couple of days for results. If it comes out that they are still high we have to do some more scans and stuff to see what we may have missed tumor wise.

I'm trying to learn some info Coyote does this explain some?

And if so, it doesn't mean something negative from what I've read. Remember Pandora's box.................

Well Coyote, do you remember that little BA chick I had that you commented on with the big drumsticks? Anyway, my little Gwendolyn is a MIKE. argggghhh! 6:00 am on and off till 9:00 am roo a roo a roo! I LOVE it. I wish I could keep hearing it. But that's not to be. Sunday he goes back to his daddy farmer. Oh well. This was taken 2 weeks ago, so he is much larger than that now and also he's been busy with two of the young hens

I think he's gorgeous, but of course I'm his mom

I'm still trying to figure it all out. I didn't see my doctor today, he was booked so I had to see someone else. But what I understand is this can just becaused by the Abraxane. The levels weren't off the charts high, but higher than my normal.

Honestly, I can't see it being anything more than the Abraxane. I have had every scan known to man. Surprized I don't glow in the dark from all the radioactive stuff they have shot in my veins before we started chemo. If it returns to normal then we will change to another form of chemo in addition to the Herceptin. If it doesn't, then they will be doing more scans, of what, I don't know, lol.

Next week I go on Thursday
