March 2019-Hello

Hi Everyone,

How is everyone doing. Time flies, had a pet scan yesterday. My cancer markers went up a couple months ago. Doc. got concerned, she has me trying new chemo. Markers have gone down since then. Basically, some tumors have decreased, others have not, others have increased some. I usually have a pet scan done every three months, hold my breathe, pray a extra prayer for good results. I have compression fractures on spine. I have been having arcupunture treatments for it, it is helping. I get tired easily, I know that's nomal, my hair is getting thinner and thinner, forcing myself to eat to maintain weight. I work part time. I will let you know the results of the pet scan.

I hope your scan is good. Don't know how you do it while working. I know how it feels to see those markers go up. This is the life we live, crazy.

Will be thinking of you.

Hi Susie After reading your story and update I think you are a woman who deserves some rest. Is taking time off an option? Or do you love your job? (I love mine but am considering whether to stop working).

I am starting to take some time off work. I have family responsibilities which makes it a challenge at times, at times we do need to do self care. I am working on self care, I know it's important. Take care.
