More info on Mom

Mom saw the Gynecologic Oncologist on Monday. Thank God the sample he took came back negative. There's still a question on whether or not she needs a D&C and they want to get a closer look at one of her ovaries so she's scheduled for a histogram and a sonogram later this month. Hopefully, then we can put this all to rest.

Thankfully, she's feeling well and looking forward to getting down to Florida as soon as possible. In fact, she and my sister flew down yesterday evening to take a look at a couple of apartments. She's been thinking of moving to a different community. They'll be coming back this afternoon.

Besides that, I'm celebrating my new birthday. Last November 17th, I went into the hospital and after a week of chemo, had my tranplant on the 24th. Thanksgiving is REALLY a time for Thanks Giving. It's truly amazing and miraculous! I can't believe how far I've come and how lucky I am to have the brother/hero that I have and to be surrounded by such supportive family and friends.

Thank God I've been feeling pretty good. Although I'm still achey and fatigued from the Prednisone reduction. I'm down to 2.5mg twice a week. Hopefully, I'll be off it soon and able to get some of my energy back.

Thank you for checking in and for sticking by me and for all of your good thoughts and prayers. Believe in Miracles!

  1. Hey girl - happy 1st birthday. What are you doing to celebrate? Hope it is awesome for you. I remember a year ago, being on a cruise - we left on the 21st, and wondering if I had encouraged you to make the right decision. I was truly worried about it, but soooooo glad you did it and that you are feeling better.
