No Chemo Monday

Posted in History, Life, Personal tagged , , at 4:07 pm by pdxfirefly

I had my blood drawn and saw my doctor.  When she did the physical exam on me, she felt a golf- ball sized mass in my abdomen that wasn’t there two weeks ago.  She decided that I should have a CT scan and gave me the option of having the Scan on Monday with Chemo on Tuesday or visa versa.  I opted to have the CT Scan on Monday so I could get home sooner, because I still had lots of catching up to do from the holiday visiting.  That meant that I would have Chemo today!  so that is what I did.

Chemo on Monday

Posted in Uncategorized at 1:26 am by pdxfirefly

It’s a long story –so I’ll  make it short.  I am having chemo again this morning.   I put it off for over a week in order to better enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday with my family.  And our holiday was GREAT!!!  Thank you my wonderful children and family!

The asteroid 2005 YU55, which is wider than an
aircraft carrier, will pose no threat when it makes a close pass by Earth.

Check out how to catch all the action.

Whew!  Looks like we dodged the bullet on that one!

We Are But Mist

You are but a mist that appears for only a short while before it vanishes.  James 4:14

But we can always remember the mist and how we loved it while it was here.

NED

Posted in Health, History, Life, Personal tagged , at 12:00 pm by pdxfirefly

The letters NED have significance regarding Ovarian Cancer.

If a patient is not cured (which I was not) then there is no such thing as remission for OC.  The term that is used is NED ~ No Evidence of Disease.

I have never been NED since my diagnosis. But I did find a different definition of NED that does fit my situation.

NED ~ Not Eligible to Die!
So I will hold on to NED for as long as I can!
