Cycle 3-1/29

Hi All,

My is it windy today! Hope all of you are doing well. If you life in So. Cal. you might want to put some rocks in your pockets so you won't get blown out to sea. :)

All my numbers with my blood were in the ok range on Tues. So, I was able to receive my 3rd Picoplatin Chemo treatment. I have a scan set up on Feb. 11th to have a look to see how things are going. Then on Feb. 18th I go for my 4th treatment if the scans show improvement. We will review the scans with the doctor at this appointment. I'm feeling hopeful since the lump on my sternum, that came to my attention right before I started out there in Dec., seems to be smaller and less obvious. I'm hoping that that is the case. If things do not seem improved or at least stable, then I will move on to another study.

I have been feeling more nausea with this chemo. So I take the anti-nausea meds to help. But they have a blurried eye side-effect. That was really bothering me yesterday. So today I am going to just tough it out with the nausea. It is less and less everyday.

Big news in the world of Lexie. She got her braces off this week. She looks great. This is just phase one. She still has more teeth that need to come in. The goal was to move things now to prevent some serious crowding issues later. I am hoping that everything will just fall into place and look beautiful!! I will try to get a photo up of her soon.

Lots of love and many thanks for all the prayers!!

Peggy

WooHooo Lexi!! Enjoy the freedom before the next set. :)
I am happy you were able to get your treatment! We will keep praying! Funny thing, I wanted to go and fly a kite today!!! WHAT AM I THINKING? 1) duh, the wind and 2) duh, my lungs! Can you just picture me running out there holding a string? I got a good laugh at my dumb thought. ;)

I LOVE YOU!!

Hey Lexie girl, yahoo! No braces. That is so nice! Go enjoy yourself some sticky, chewy treats.

Glad you were able to get your treatment. Sorry it makes you sick though. If you don't need to get out and do anything, take your pills. I imagine the bluriness will fade a little after a few days. It's hard to put even one more chemical in your body though.

I will be praying that the scan shows some major improvement. But do not lose heart if it doesn't. Maybe the trial the Lord wants you in just wasn't ready for you yet.

In the meantime my lady, keep making memories and enjoying everything the Lord has put within your touch, reach, and sight. This is a wonderous world and full of miracles.

Love ya lady.
