Still fighting

This is probably the longest I have gone without blogging. Sorry guys! I guess the most important thing you want to know is the results on my CT scan. Well, that's gonna have to wait! Lets see. I have been working a bit more. that has been really nice. It is always good to feel productive. I've been really busy hanging with my girls. That is always fun! The other day it was nice enough out that we were able to go to the barn and visit the horses. We brought a bag of carrots with us and made our rounds. I felt like every horse I went by, reached out his head to me in a sort of hug. Can horses hug? These can. We then went to see Gnomio and Juliet. Very cute movie. Much cuter than I expected that is for sure!
Today I am pretty tired. For good reason I suppose. Monday was cat scan day and then lunch with one of my fellow cancer survivors. Tuesday, I went to work.Wednesday I had chemo, which was supposed to start at 10:45 but was bumped to 1:00pm that morning. I had to drop off my car to have it serviced, picked it up after chemo and went straight to my Bible study. Thursday I went to work and then Friday the kids had their testing at school and then we ran around and enjoyed the day. So, today, I am tired. I did manage to take the kids to the ridge to swim and then to Aunt Anna's to wrap up polish roses. I will be going to bed as soon as the Easter Bunny makes her appearance.
So, about my CT scan. My doctor says that my liver tumor is "perfectly stable", there is no new growth anywhere, although a few of my lung spots grew maybe a millimeter in size. Can we get a hip hip hurray?!!! We are continuing the same chemo, sending off a chunk of my liver biopsy to have it tested for another specific chemo treatment and he has referred me out to another oncologist at the University to discuss clinical trials. That is the plan. Except for being tired today, I have felt really great! My side effects are minimal, sleeping pretty good and eating great! What more can you ask for? God bless you all!

quick up date

Hope everyone had a great spring break! We really did! I took the kids to Glennwood Springs and hung out with friends, enjoyed girl time and some quiet time as well. We had one day where the weather broke, so we took the kids up the tram to the caverns. While we were up there, we did some rock climbing (yes, me too), watched 4D movies, cave tour and the alpine slide. I was like a kid of all kids. Every time we got back to the top of the slide I would ask Mrs. Houston if I could do it again. I would take turns taking the kids down. The goal was to make it down to the bottom without touching the breaks. It was awesome! I laughed so hard I was crying and the girls squealed, "Mrs. Curro! You are crazy!" I came home physically exhausted but emotionally rested. The rest of the week we filled with simple outings, pottery painting, sleep overs and movies. Chemo on Thursday went smooth as silk and I feel GREAT! I have been having severe night sweats (2-3 an night), fevers, gas and uncontrollable diarrhea for weeks now. Good news is, I haven't had any of that since Saturday! What a miracle......they do come in all kinds of packaging! More later....love out to you all!
