Weekend update
Just a quick note to let you know that things progress for me. I am still experiencing nausea and got sick a couple of times this week. My doctor put me on another anti-nausea medication (scopolamine). More and more, I am leaning toward not continuing chemo. As bad as I have been feeling, I felt worse on chemo and I do not thinking it makes sense to go through that discomfort.
Right now, I’m scheduled to receive simple IV fluids the next 2 Tuesdays. On the 8th, in addition to getting my fluids, I will also get my next set of scans. So we’ll have a better sense of how I’m doing at my doctor’s appointment on March 15.
On the upside, I have been enjoying having my Mother visiting with me since Wednesday. Also, my sister came down yesterday. Between them and all of the support at work, church (we have 2 churches making us meals each week), and the karate school, I feel very loved.

Your Scouting family…especially your Wood Badge family loves you, too! Glad your Mom and sister are visiting.

Lucy made a birthday card for her Uncle Merle. Now all I have to do is get it in the mail…

I’ve been reading you blog for about two years now. I just want to say that you are in my thoughts and my family’s thoughts. I have really enjoyed your funny, upbeat views on your life, you have such a unique perspective.
Yes, you are loved; and admired.
Happy Birthday.

Just dropping a note to say we’re sending all our best healthy, comfortable vibes from our house. I miss the days of being close enough to just pop over and hang out! I hope the vacation is just what you need to refresh and get back to kicking this tumor in the butt!
