Home Again

Good Saturday evening to you all.  I'm home from the hospital after a brief overnight stay.  I had to get my pain under control so that breathing wasn't so difficult.  Quite a quandary!  My goals are to remain on Taxol and Carbo chemotherapy agents once a week, blood draws and counts to make sure the body will withstand the agents, and doctor appointments to discuss progress and options as needs arise.  So far reports show there is less cancer in the the previously affected areas now than when initial testing was done.  That's the good news.  Bad news, there are so many variants, good and bad that have an influence.  Ah,   I'm getting boring.  Enjoy your Saturday night and Sunday.  May God Bless You and Your Family and Loved Ones.  I promise I will work on getting new pictures up very soon, so if I do get boring on my blog, you will have at least something to make you smile or laugh.  I smile when I think of all of you.  Thank you again for your generosity in giving, supporting, praying, and raising me up.  I love you.  Sheryl

Pain...Breathe...Pain...Breathe...Pain...

...Which do I choose?  Thank you for your patience.  Sorry I haven't blogged lately.  I've been in a "pain-med blog fog".  I was admitted to the hospital on Friday to have further testing (CT scans).  The nurse asked me if I was farting.  My dignity is gone!  Thank you everyone for your kindness and generosity.  I appreciate your patience on holding off on the phone calls and the visits.  I'll have a report after talking with the doctors tomorrow.  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  I'm enjoying some pumpkin pie right now.  (These are Sheryl's words as spoken to Deb tonight.)
