My blood counts are low. I got chemo today, get it again tomorrow and Fri. Fri I get blood too cause my counts are low. Monday I get my shot and Wed blood work but on Wed (5/2) I also at 10:45 an injection and then at 1:45 I get a bone scan and on 5/4 I get a brain and chest scan. On 5/9 at 1:30 see the doctor and start what new treatment she decides is best and on 5/10 and 5/11 I get it too. I tend to lead to the left when I walk and I feel like I will fall over so the brain scan will see if that is caused by the brain tumor. It is all so confusing. I'll let you know if I find out anything from all the scans.

Thank you, she is beautiful and I can use all I can get! Suddenly my diamond wedding rings hubby got me for our 28th Christmas together are missing and I am frantic tearing the house apart and don't feel up to this stress on top of the rest, been in tears, I know they have to be in the house but where????? $1200 and not insured!!!

mary51 by mary51 24 Apr 2012

Relax then think where were you last time you saw them, an you'd see your memory bank will bring it back! Have you heard about tapping, i am trying everything I see, go to internet and Youtube they have how to do it, I began doing it a week ago and it is working for me, it is a way to rewiring your mind, I had to fix the car AC they were asking 350 dollars that is a lot of money for me, i took it to another mechanic, did the tapping and it cost 125$ to fix it, i do not know if it was a coincidence but it worked! I am doing it to stop negative thoughs and bring positive to my life, i hope I can go on, You may want to try it, it is very interesting and it does not required any tool, just your finger tips. Hope you can find them, OH one more thing when I have lost a thing I pray to San Aparicio(do not know his name in English) and this really works I have always found the lost item then you give thanks to the Saint and lit a candle.

Meant rope. Just been one of those weeks, crying off and on over every little thing. Hugs and thanks.

Oh Dear Debra! I am so sad for you! Tug on that rope and pull yourself back to the beginning! Your ring set will turn up. I lose things and then I just say ok Lord, You are more important and I let go...and then "wha la!" I find them! What is the saying...Let go and Let God? I forget though...thank goodness He reminds me! Just rest in His assurance that He will help you with all things...even the precious bits of this world! You however are very precious, and just think how much He cares for you! God bless! I will check in on you again tomorrow:>) <<<>>> and ***love*** from not too far! ro

Dear Debra, I hope that you are having a restful weekend and regaining your strength. Perhaps it will give you a lift to know that my grandaughter donated her beautiful long hair to Locks of Love in honor of you. She said that you are the bravest lady she has ever heard about. Now another child will get a wig because of your courage. Emily and I love our short hair cuts. Even moreso, we love you. We are praying for you at every opportunity. Sending big hugs. Love, Marjorie

Can you also donate greying hair?

leenova54 by leenova54 22 Apr 2012

Thank you so much! I will be very busy for the next few weeks till we do all the tests and scans and then find a new mix of chemo to try. Till then I won't know anything. They increased my pain patch dose and that has helped a bit with the spots that are in my spine as long as I don't put pressure on any of the spots. My hip still wants to give out but I am not ready to give up. Still have things to do.
Hugs back to you and your granddaughter! Debra

leenova54 by leenova54 22 Apr 2012

bevgrift....I imagine they do take greying hair. The won't take dyed or permed hair, I think.
Hugs, Debra

ksgram1 by ksgram1 22 Apr 2012

Yes Bev, they do accept grey hair. It is not used in the wigs but is sold to offset the cost of making the wigs. For more info, do a Google search for Locks of Love. Sorry I don't have the link.

The older one still comes 2 nights a week for work and sometimes asks how things are but I always email to both boys and their ladies what is what. The younger one I think is kind of avoiding the subject all together. I think he is hurting more than he would admit.

Thank you sweetie. They don't hurt or anything, just takes up time and I am beginning to hate going into that building. I hand out little angels to people there and they all seem to like them and sometimes my chemo room is one with 3 people so we chat. There are little TVs in the rooms so we watch most of the time. Sometimes John holds my hand. We will be OK. Went shopping today for a little bit and got some groceries before the cat ran out of food.
Thanks for the hug, one back to you!

Thank you, I need all I can get. Feeling pretty sick after today, 2 pints of blood in then a bag of chemo then tried to eat a little bit but that's all I could eat, just a little bit. Can't take anything for feeling sick, they put some in the chemo that you can't take any more for 48 hours and I feel like I will get sick sooner. Hugs, Debra

Oh, you told me about this before but I never did check into it, I am so sick of checking into every new thing I hear about and I know this stuff was quite expensive with no trial sizes to see if I would even be able to handle the taste of it.

mary51 by mary51 21 Apr 2012

Debra how I whish i could send you some!!! So you can give it a try.

joyce500 by joyce500 22 Apr 2012

What is this noni? I have heard that one ounce lemon juice daily will cure some cancers. I fix my husband a glass everyday. I don't know if it is helping or not. Joyce

Thank you so much. It is frustrating. Today I had to get 2 pints of blood and then the last dose of this chemo. I have 2 weeks coming up with tests and scans and then probably a new mix of chemo to see if we find something that will help. I am sick of being in the hospital and doctors.

Thank you Lillian, I know God is looking after me. I posted about my cousin's husband having cancer in his brain and doesn't have long, we saw each other at the doctor! He is being strong and wants her to stop babying him and she is being strong and knows he doesn't have long. With radiation maybe 14 months, without, maybe 2.
