It has been a couple of weeks since I updated my blog.  I didn't know if anyone really ever reads this anymore, but I have been gently scolded by a few people for not posting, so here I am.

It was 11 months ago today that I was diagnosed with cancer.  WOW!!!  When I was diagnosed, I didn't think I would be here for another spring, yet here I am. 

My last cancer treatment of Herceptin and Zometa was 9 days ago.  My oncologist is going to do both drugs every time to see if I can't get more pain relief from the bone mets.  Dan went with me to my appointment, and told the doctor about my side effects from treatment, so they changed my premeds, and added steroids again.  I felt a lot better.  I should have complained a long time ago, and had these changes made months ago.

The doctor also adjusted my pain meds, so hopefully my pain can be managed better and I can do more.  The only problem with taking stronger pain meds, is they make me even more tired.  So I have to decide if I want to be limited in what I can do because of pain, or if I want to be limited in what I do because I am groggy, out of it, and tired.  So, I am trying different combos of pain pills at different times of day.  The doctor told me that eventually I will get a tolerance for the drugs so they won't make me so out of it.

My hair is growing nicely.  It is SOOOOO curly.  I look like a poodle.  Dan is also growing his hair back.  He looks great.  I think the guys he works with who are missing hair are jealous that he is growing hair, and they're not.

So there is my update for those who are curious.  Thanks for caring!!!!!! (And I mean that sincerely!)

I read it all the time and look at the pictures. I no many others who do as well. I have one of your Puerto Rico Pictures on my desktop at work. I figure by reading this, you dont have to explain everything to me. I get tired of saying the same story so much that it is all you ever get to talk about. Wanting to talk about it is a separate issue and I am happy to talk to you about whatever you want. Anyway, I suppose the gist of this is it is a good way to keep those who love you up to date on things.

Love Mom, SMILE!!!!!!!:)

Amber,
I just received a link to this site. I can't believe how much a few ward changes can affect so much. I only see you in passing, but I wanted you to know that I think about you all the time. We loved having your kids, and I no longer get any sign-ups, so I need to get with you and find out when some of us "outsiders" can help!!! We miss seeing you. You truly are an inspiration to soooo many. I think your hair looks great! I love your smile, and most of all your sweet spirit! Thanks for the updates...I will be calling you! Love Kim
