The blood work indicates Truqap is working!!!

[jersey-jazz]

Yesterday I had the Faslodoex shots and some blood work done. I did not see the doctor. So. this is unofficial but I am so delighted. I have absolutely no energy. I am so exhausted that I need help but my mental attitude since January 27 when I began treatment again, after a year of doom and gloom, has come back to internal calm and a sense that all is right with my world (despite the a h 's attempt to take over the physical world.).,

Thank you to all of us for our constant support of each other!

Congratulations jersey-,jazz on your good news!! I know that's such a relief for you! Hugs 🤗 Alicia

Dear Alicia----It is such a pleasure to be able to report good news, however unofficially. A good friend who happens to be a district nurse will visit me today. I'll be showing her the blood results, picking her brain and hoping that her reading coincide with mine. Thank you for your hugs. When you sent them, even virtually, it was a mutual hug and they were automatically returned. I just hugged me for that return to you, just to make sure.

[monkeygirl62 in reply to jersey-jazz]

Sometimes I wish we could hug in person 🤗 that's for sure. Official or not glad to hear good news!! I know when I read my reports and see the results and it's good I feel such a relief.

Great news ! We all celebrate with you thanks for sharing .

[jersey-jazz in reply to Aprilfoolz1]

Dear April----Thank you! We are such an amazing group who love to celebrate at any positive thing. So, why not? We deserve it. Does your moniker hint at an April birthday? Mine is April, as well.

[bikebabe]

yay- that’s wonderful news. Very happy for you.

[jersey-jazz in reply to bikebabe]

Thank you, bikebabe! Ten years ago, my part time boyfriend, Tom, bought a huge and beautiful luminescent blue motorcycle. I never rode it but when he arrived with it, my street crew went way up. He is now in a nursing home and I am still in my delightful home, surrounded by paintings, papers and memories. I figure that I have two years to shape up and rid myself of all unnecessary papers and momentos. I am allowing myself to keep the pictures for the time being.

I really like your name, bike babe. What is the back story of the name?

[bikebabe in reply to jersey-jazz]

Simple - first I was a cyclist then I got myself a 500cc Suzuki for 10 yrs. nothing g now as both shoulders messed by all the treatments. But I’m still a bijebabe at heart.

[bikebabe in reply to bikebabe]

And you just keep going nice and steady so you can tough out the die. Bits and enjoy the best.

[LibraryGeek]

Long may it continue! x

[jersey-jazz in reply to LibraryGeek]

Thank you and the same to you! Whenever I see your name, I see a long time comrade.

[LibraryGeek]

I am indeed! 7 years since diagnosis. It’s always nice to see familiar names x

Mazel Tov!!!!!!! UNofficail or official it all sounds good.

[jersey-jazz in reply to BorisCarloff]

Thank you for the international greeting. I've always thought of myself as something of a Bolshevik. I am resisting the temptation to write that it is more appealing to me to be a Bolshevik than a trumpet. So, it all fits together nicely. Okay, I'll bite. Why BorisCarloff?

[jersey-jazz in reply to jersey-jazz]

I typed the word "Trumper" but the politically correct forum changed it.

[AvidBooklover]

Welcome great news....just great!

[jersey-jazz in reply to AvidBooklover]

I have hope, now, even with all the naysayers around me.

[HelenWi]

Congratulations! What a wonderful feeling it is to know your meds are working. 👏👏👏

[jersey-jazz in reply to HelenWi]

Thank you for the congrats. It is a wonderful feeling to be active in fighting this terrible disease.

[fancydog]

Hang on to this lift in your spirit and thank you for sharing your story. Hope is a wonderful elixir.🙏

[jersey-jazz in reply to fancydog]

Hope, determination and some foolhardiness may get me to my goal of arriving at ninety in two full years and one month.

[mariootsi]

That's wonderful! And amen to the support of this group!

[jersey-jazz in reply to mariootsi]

These clever participants share much more useful information than many of these overworked and overpaid doctors. At least it has been my experience.

[Lilywallytootsie]

Sending a great big hug to ALL you wonderful ladies and friends. Giant hug, Hannah

[jersey-jazz in reply to Lilywallytootsie]

As I noted earlier, hugs are always shared with the giver. That includes all of us, one way or the other.

[Kateds]

so glad to hear that your meds are working!❤️Kate from Alabama

[jersey-jazz in reply to Kateds]

That will remain unofficial till the doctor deigns to speak to me and confirm what seems to be the case with me. Thank you, Kate from Alabama. I hope that the bad, extreme weather has not affected you too much.

[Kateds in reply to jersey-jazz]

I am praying that it’s official!🙏 Lucky no damage from bad weather. Kate

[13plus]

That’s so wonderful to hear! It certainly does give a lift to our spirits when we feel like we are on the right track again! May it continue!

And sorry to hear your bf is in a nursing home. It is a blessed thing to be able to be in our own space!

[jersey-jazz in reply to 13plus]

I really do feel better. Yes, I really do feel as if I am doing it right. My darling part time boyfriend has just started immunotherapy and is in the hell hole. He doesn't know what hit him. He seems to have lost his smart ass twinkle. Let's hope it is very temporary. He has to pull out of it by August 23 when one of my three engaged grandchildren are getting married.

[13plus in reply to jersey-jazz]

Happy for you! I hope he feels better soon too
