Life Goes On

Been quite awhile since the last update.  Sorry about that.  Many things been going on, none of them good unfortunately.

Thursday Brenda noticed that my left arm appeared to be swollen.  It was hurting or anything but she wouldn't let up on it.  She called my oncologist and he said it needed to be checked immediately.  So, off we went to Trinity for an emergency Doppler check.  Poor tech got called away from her son's ball game.  BUT, she did find a big blood clot.  So, the next stop was the Emergency Room.  They kind of lost me in there for a bit.  Once they checked me out they decided that my chemo infusion port was the cause.  So..... Friday morning a trip to Genesis to have the port removed.  That blew most of the day. Still have the clot.  On a blood thinner and a nightly shot to break it up.  Don't know what I will do if I ever need chemo again.  That port was a God send.

Sabian has not been home for about 3 weeks now.  He is mostly skipping school too.  Lost his job because of his bad attitude and poor attendance. Go figure   We have no clue what his problem is.  He is supposedly living with a known gang member and drug dealer.  He turns 18 on the 25th.  So welcome to the world of adults Buddy.  Sink or Swim, you are on your own, just how you wanted it.

I have lab tests and another CT scan on Friday.  Will know next week where I stand cancer wise.  Hoping for no growth still.

I will try to stay a little more current here.  Been having many stomach issues.  Most days I hardly want to leave the bed.   Thanks for checking back.
