Bored

I am in my germ week so I am sequestered to the house and let me tell you, I am so freaking bored!!

I thought I would update you on what's going on with the developing stories in my life. As you're all curious to know I'm sure...my step-sister!!! Well turns out she really was pregnant with twins but she ended up losing one of them a few weeks back. I heard this from my dad. I feel terrible that she lost a baby but to be honest, I think that it's best for her to just have one at a time (her own words). The one she has is thriving and growing right on track.

In other news, we finally got a second car. My DH sold his Blazer last October because, well, it was a piece of shit. We've been going with just my Civic for almost a year now and doing OK. DH is a HS football coach and we knew that we just couldn't do it anymore once FB season started, and alas, it is here. Yesterday we bought a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe. I love it and am so excited that DH and I don't have to plan around who gets to use the car anymore.

I think that sums up my life in a nutshell at this time.

My prayers go out to Brooke & Joe after the loss of their sweet Annaleigh.

PET scan results

So the PET scan results are in...THE CHEMO IS WORKING!!

* There are no new tumors
* The original tumor is not as active, AKA, the cancer cells are dying!!!!
* The tumor might start to shrink now but he's not worried about that as it could change to scar tissue.
* After this round, I have one more!!

We plan to do another PET scan a few weeks after I finish my treatment for good. We will go from there and see what that scan shows and then decide if we want to remove the mass with surgery.

I couldn't ask for anything better. Your thoughts and prayers are working, keep them coming.

Vent

I figure if I can't vent here, where can I?
So here it goes...

My step-sister, and if you read my blog I've mentioned her before, is pregnant after IVF #2. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her. However, she told me (not that long ago) that if they had twins she would abort one...NOT KIDDING! So now here they are at IVF #2 and guess what my SIL (who's pg with an oops baby) just told me? That's right, step-sister supposedly had an u/s today that showed two sacs. Now, step-sister emailed me on Saturday and said she wasn't having an u/s for two weeks so I'm not sure where the truth is in all this.

Are you following so far? OK, good.

Anyway, supposedly they are OK with twins now but it makes me so angry/hurt/frustrated that someone who would even say such a thing should have the opportunity to have twins. I know a few posts ago I said I was OK with my IF but maybe this is showing that I'm not, I don't know. I feel better after the vent but I'm sure those feelings will go away when I start hearing about the first grand babies etc...PUKE!!! I will feel terrible if anything happens to her now but ugg, I'm just so uggh.

Thanks for listening. I'll keep you updated on the drama.

Two Pregnant Nurses

And a partridge in a pear tree.
No, just kidding but for those who don't know, I had to be admitted to the hospital again on Thursday night because I got a bad fever and in chemo land that is nothing to mess around with. So I go to the ER and when I finally get a bed in the chemo ward, both my day nurse and my night nurse were both pregnant! It was weird though, I was chatting with them about their pregnancy and how it was going and was fine. I didn't even think about my IF. I'm to the point where I know I can't have a baby right now and I'm fine with it. Besides, I absolutely loved my nurses so that made it easier:) Still no AF so I don't think she's coming this month..YAHOO!

Bonuses of chemo

How said is it that I have to come look at my blog to see when my last AF was? That's exactly what I had to do today:) Looks like June 21st so either she'll come soon or maybe she won't. One of the s/e of chemo is that I may go into menopause for months or possible even years. My thought on that is HELL YEAH, if I have to go through this shit at least give me some sort of bonus. Another bonus...weight loss. I've lost over 12 lbs since I started chemo...I figure if I keep this rate up, I will lose about 30 lbs when it's all said and done, and I eat whatever I want...gotta love it. Nothing like chemo to get off some stubborn weight:)

Hey, I've got to look at the positives:)

Chemo Shower

My mom is so awesome and threw me a chemo shower on Sunday where there was tons of food and people brought me presents...who doesn't love presents? I got so many scarves and hats ass well as things to keep me occupied during chemo session #2. The best gift I go was a punching bag from my mom and step-dad.

I can't type much because I'm really tired but here's a pic of the punching bag!
