Wow, time is flying by. It's school time again and we are buried at work. Working to 9 and 10 at night is common place now. So many projects behind that we are behind from all the other trades. It's a mess, because everyone seemed to layoff people and there are massive orders out there for all products. No factories can get caught up and 3-4 week delays are common. Not good when you only have 12 weeks to work before the next school session. Stress to the max.
Chemo again tomorrow - not exactly a party bag, but it is still working. I had a PET scan last week and I found out Monday that the chemo is still working, but it's degenerating my spine. I am going to start really exercising to strengthen my core. I have gone bike riding a couple of times this week and that seems like a more fun way to exercise. Fresh air has got to be good for me.
New news this week. My doctor actually said I may have a choice finally in my treatment. This is the first choice for the year I have been at this. I may be a candidate to have a tube run up my groin and try to seal up arteries feeding my tumors. By cutting off the blood supply, the tumors may weaken and the chemo would be more effective. I have a consultation on the 19th. I will post what happens. It's kind of exciting to know that I have progressed enough to have an option finally. Golf claps please-----Thank you!
We made it to Mexico and back. I have now traveled internationally-- cross that off the bucket list. It was hot and humid, but we had fun anyways. Toured the hotel, hit the pool. Toured the city shopping life, hit the pool. Did some night life, hit the pool. Went zip lining (cross that off the bucket list), hit the pool. Did I mention all things were followed by hitting the pool!!! The drinks were cold and I had quite a few with no ill side effects. This was great, maybe we shouldn't wait for a 20th anniversary to do this kind of a fun thing. Poor Cheryl, she came back with a cold and has been sleeping down stairs. She has been trying very hard to not get me sick. It must be the extra two shots of tequila I had at the factory. It must have been a sign from GOD himself.
Got to go to bed - thanks for reading and caring,
