Hi everyone
This is MommyScarlet and we havent been on because of lots of things happening. I just got my first radiation/chemotherapy treatments one week ago. It knocked me for a loop! I've never had anything like this before in my life! This is for the cancer in my liver. There are multiple tumors in my liver and they are trying a new procedure. They go through a catheter placed in the main artery in my groin and going into my liver. The Drs "turn off" the blood flow to each tumor. Then put massive doses of chemo and radiation directly into the tumor. This is going to kill each tumor and is supposed to cut down on pain, hair loss and nausea. Well, it was supposed to anyway! This was the first treatment on the first tumor in my liver. There will be another same treatment coming in about two weeks on another tumor. This is because, as I said they're treating each tumor separately. If this will work as planned, it will prevent the cancer from spreading further. The lungs are still in question and we are going through testing right now to determine, first, what type of cancer and is it a danger. And second, if it IS dangerous to me, what can be done! So there's a lot going on right now! There are so many things and so many Drs! It's really very hard to keep up with all of it! I'm doing ok though and I'm staying positive. I'm so grateful to all of My family here for all of the Love, support and prayers! I dont think you can know what it means to me! It means an awful lot!!
Now, more to this saga...
ybboB had a minor stroke. He's doing much better, but still has a couple things he's dealing with because of it. It's believed his stroke was because of stress related to what we've been going through with my illnesses. In all of our time we never imagined so much could ever happen at one time, let alone separately. Our Love for each other is our constant strength and there have been some people who have doubted that we could possibly remain together during this whole ordeal. It's only strengthened our dedication to each other! So as We struggle on, we have your love helping us get through it all. My little boy is such a trooper for his Mommy! I love him so very much and I know he loves me! ybboB just asked me to give all of his friends and family his love!! He will be back as soon as he can figure out how to make his fingers type right again. He's doing wonderfully and shouldn't be very long now! He wants his friends to know he loves you all. PB, littlemoosey and others, he misses you!
Well, I'm still here as well and I miss my friends too! Mamma2moosey will always be my dear friend and I miss our chats! Please don't forget we're here. We might have lost some few things, but it's still us and we love you folks with all our hearts!
In closing this epic message for me to write, I want to again thank all of our friends and family here and we love each and every one of you!! Hoping to hear from our friends soon..
Still us,
ybboB n MommyScarlet
