I've been having nausea recently (even though I haven't been on chemo for awhile) and on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th I started having nausea, vomiting, and feeling bloated. My colostomy wasn't really putting much out either. So I was admited to Galion Hospital Sat night. Everyone has been great here! I recently got a Galaxy tablet (like an ipad) from Verizon so that has been nice to play with while I'm here. I thought I was getting out Monday but I continued to have nausea and had to stay til Tues.
So Im home now and I'm not sure I'm really feeling completely better! :( I cant find things I want to eat. Never thought I'd have a problem eating! Trying to eat easy to digest foods. Still having problems with bloating though. My weight is 141 now. Hopefully this will resolve quickly so I can enjoy the nice weather that I think is coming. hehee
OSU contacted me a couple months back about being in another clinical trial. This one is for women with recuring cancer and how it affects them. Things like depression and learning stress reduction techniques. I have been to a few sessions and it has been really nice to talk with other women with cancer and their issues. The study goes on for quite some time. I have to go once a week for 16 weeks then only monthly.
Oh also, my left arm port site has FINALLY healed all the way!! Yeah!

It's 2010! Time to Reflect...
Almost 18 months cancer-free...how long will it last? Such an aggressive cancer, this damn Leiomyosarcoma! Every CT/MRI I have had since my completion of radiation in August 2008 was VERY stressful. Even when I didn't realize it, "SCAN"XIETY loomed in the back of head. Knowing that I had a 50% chance of the cancer returning. Wondering if NOT having chemo back then was the right path. Since my doc's hadn't dealt with many sarcomas, did they really know the BEST treatments?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last year and half has brought me so much joy and contentment. To be a GRANDMA! Wow. I love it! To become so much closer to my family. My sis is my best friend now! My husband and I couldn't be any closer. I get to see my daughter and her family every week when I go to babysit my little Maxton. My stepdaughter moved in with our youngest grandson, Marcus, for 6 months. He is a little angel. My Mom has been so much help to me through all my health issues. My stepdad and I have become closer than I ever thought possible. He has been down the cancer road as well. My Mother-in-law has moved closer to us and our relationship has grown. And then I began working at Samaritan and have some wonderful friends! I love that place so much! It's worth the 45 minute drive.
I HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE!
And I know how to live it...by the seat of my pants! :)
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a beer (or tequila) in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming "woo hoo, what a ride"
**HEY! DON'T FORGET TO GO TO "OLDER POSTS" JUST ABOVE THIS ON THE RIGHT. LOTS OF COOL INFO THERE TOO! YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS ME WITH TIM MCGRAW!
