I'm getting up at 3:30 a.m., leaving for work at 4:20; meeting my vanpool at 5:15 and arriving at my desk @ 6:15....leave my desk at 2:45 to meet vanpool at 3 p.m., arrive at 4 p.m. back at my car...if I don't do any errands, am back home by 4:30 so it's a 12 hr. day for me Mon - Friday. I have just enough time to clean and prep supplies for next day, cook, eat, and clean up kitchen, open mail, pay bills, etc. and it's time for bed at 7:30. I'm thrilled to be back at work even though it is a long commute and day for me. I've found the mental stimulation was just what I needed to help with my memory issues etc.

I try to pop in here during my 40 min. lunch or on weekends. I miss everyone! Will try to keep checking up...take care and God bless all you warriors and care takers. Hugs. :) Melodie

All ok here. I read the posts with interest, but don't have much to contribute at the moment. Start 3rd cycle of chemo next week. I am expecting to have some scans done early May to review the chemo, perhaps some other tests I really don't know what is planned. Still contemplating which type of continent diversion to have done.
Hope everyone else is ok.

Bob completed the radiation on his upper spine today, brought a huge mask home!

He will complete radiation on the right rib area on Friday and then unless something else shows up, we are off until PET scan at the end of May.

Biggest problems now, trouble swallowing and sore throat but has medication for both and it should go away in a couple of weeks.

Also, having to get up during the night CONSTANTLY to urinate...

Looking forward to a good month off though.

Awesome to hear from everyone. I pop in everyday also but right now have nothing to say either. I just wanted to check in with everyone. :) Looks like we all have tests coming up and a lot of praying to do!
