Howdy all. I am not sure really what to say...well I do, just not sure how to say it I guess. I took Bryon in for his chemo today and I got to talking w/the doc about him after treatment is over. If I calculated it right, it looks like he has about 22 more weeks of consecutive treatment. Providing he doesn't flunk any of his counts!
Anyway, they let me know that he will go in still monthly to get blood checks and quarterly for a MRI. Then they will back off a little for the next 5 yrs. What I didn't know is that he will actually have to go in for the rest of his LIFE because of the type of cancer he has. I was in total shock and disarray when she told me that. I didn't know what to say! I am a bit frustrated knowing how much these tests cost and now to find out that he will have to get them every year! I am at a loss for words. Oh here is one "Don't EVER NOT have insurance", on and another "Bryon, get a GOOD job when you get older and make lots of money and have a VERY good insurance plan!" It just makes me sick to think of this for the rest of his life and he is SO young!
On to another subject, my oldest daughter is off on summer camp. I miss her. She has never done anything like this before and it is so weird for her not to be here! I am ready for Friday to get here for her to come home!
Pete and I are still doing good. He is actually a very strong man. He just started drinking again. He is there for me more than any man has ever been! (Even when he does drink). I have never known an A to go back to drinking and be like he is. So for that, at least, I am grateful!
Ok, I know, enough is enough~ LOL
I have heard some pretty harsh stuff on some posts so I know that I am not alone when I say We all need prayers! We shall have a moment of silence for ALL MIP members and guests!
Sounds like a good time to remember : One day at a time.
The way medical science works, who knows what will be happening in 20 years? The tests may be cheap and easy by then. Though, that 's not to say that a moment of silence and a little prayer isn't a good idea!
