I finally feel good today! It seems like it's been such a long time since I had energy and didn't feel chemo sick.  The last couple weeks have been hard to say the least.  I know what the difference is, the gym.  Marc and I have gone to the gym this week, even when I didn't feel like it.  I know what I need to do.  NO sugar and exercise. Oh ya and no freaking coke zero,  damn I still miss my coke zero a lot!!  I can't  wait until spring when we can walk outside.  I think I will even start biking.  I have lost 60 lbs since all of my weight gain from the first rounds of chemo and all the steroids.  It has been hard but I am not ever giving up!!!!
I have to wait to get the complete results from my PET scan until my next treatment, a week from tomorrow.

January 2014 It's a New Year

My first attempt at a pallet knife.  It's been a long time since I posted any thing on this blog. A lot has happened since the last post.   My cancer was only in remission for 8 month.  It returned in my Liver I had the left lobe of my liver removed last AUG.  after getting my heart punctured during a biopsy on the mass in my liver,  its a miracle I survived that...I figure God didn't spare my life from that just to have me lose my battle to cancer after long suffering, so I take comfort in that.  They didn't get it all, there was cancer left in the margin so I have been on maintenance chemo every 2 weeks ever since.  It has been harder than you can believe, but I have discovered I am stronger than I believe also.  Last year was the hardest year of my life, yet the best year of my life.  I have so much to be grateful for.  I will try to update my blog on a weekly basis from now on.  I don't know if anyone will read this but I think it will good for me to write and journal my life my successes my failures my beautiful life! Why not?
