I'm finally better enough to let all you know that my tumor is shrinking! Yep that's right...shrinking! i went in for round 7 of chemo this past Monday. i talked to my doctor to see if she had heard anything about my last CT scan. the last time i talked to her she said she couldn't tell if my tumor was smaller or bigger cause she had nothing to compare it too. i told her we had the old scans so she might be able to compare. we did that and the radiologist said my tumor is smaller! FINALLY i know where i stand!
they took out my pic line cause it wasn't working anymore. they had to poke me and put an IV in my hand so i can get my chemo. that was not fun at all! when they told me that they had to take out my PIC line i was scared that it might hurt cause they were gonna just pull it out! i was like oh heck no! BLOOD everywhere!!! but that was not the case =) no blood was spilled.
on another note...my hair looks like its growing back. i have some kind of fuzz so that's cool. my cousin Jr stopped by and wanted to see and he said i looked tough. hahaha i am pretty bad ass so yeah i gots to look the part if I'm gonna act the part!
your one bad ass cousin! great news Juanita!

Hi Juanita,
ReplyDeleteI feel so disconnected to home and your stories brought me right back to my roots. I love you babe and miss you! Remember our Ms Wright days... stealing snacks from her little refrigerator? Watering the trees!! I have my National Board Exam part 3A, patient and management, and California Law exam tomorrow, hearing your about your strength makes me strong too! Since it's your year to travel... feel free to put NYC on ur list!! I'll be here until June 23rd.
