Return To Chemo

I'm starting back on my Chemo treatments today. It's been about 2 months almost since my last chemo. Between the 2 hospitilizations in august and the infected portacatheter, my shrinky-juice regiment fell by the wayside.

In one way, I'm glad to get back on chemo so I can continue killing my tumors. part of me is scared that the hiatus caused some cancer to return or grow. Nothing I can do about it, sadly, but get back in the game.

It's been nice not having mouth sores or finger and heel fissures. It's also nice not having to deal with the poo-pouch anymore. The reconnection is not as bad as I feared. Not great, but not as bad.

Have a great week my praying warriors. Please know I continue to cherish the support and strength I get from all your prayers and good wishes

XOXOXO Peggy

  3. Peggy, glad you are able to move forward! Glad to hear that reconnection was a little better than you expected. As Willie Nelson puts it "you are always on my mind!!" (does that bring back memories of Tower Hall soph year???!!!) Praying for you and sending lots of cyber hugs.... Kirsten

  4. All the best to you with your battle ... I know the fear of the growth of the tumors after a small break. Hopefully the chemo will knock it back in shape.

    PS Which photo did you choose? For the record, Warren and I loved them all - expressions were priceless. Your beauty shines through in each one; our favorite was probably the last one.

    I think "red head" would be a good.
