Latest update

So after a full week of being in Houston we made it home yesterday around 7 o'clock. That was the longest week ever!! We drove up there Monday because I had appointments starting early Tuesday. I had blood work, CAT scan and x-rays. Then Wednesday I had EKG, Echocardiogram and I had to get my eyes checked. Let me tell you getting my eyes checked took FOREVER!!! 3 hours to be exact. 15 minutes of this was the actual exam the rest of it was sitting in the waiting room with my eyes dialated. By the time they called me back I hadt he worst headach. But the good news is my eyes are find. I have 20/20 vision and they saw no kind of eye disease. Next day was my MRI bright and early at 6:30am. Got that done then headed for more blood work then went to see my doctor. Scan results were good. The main tumor has only increased in size by a tiny bit THANK GOODNESS!! Everything else was clear. While I was there they took one of the spots off me that has popped up. I have several of them that is the cancer that came from the inside out. So I got 5 little stiches with that. They are using it for research purposes. So after all this they said all my test were good and that I qualify and get to start the trial. So downstairs we went. David and I got put in a little room. Spent the next 8 hours in there. They started with EKG's. Did I think 3 of them. Then they took blood, then they finally started my CHEMO. I can tell you know CHEMO is a breeze compaired to the horrible IL2 treatments I did. I was really nervouse because it was something new and I didn't know what to expect. It took about an hour for the chemo to finish. We just sat, well I laid and watched TV. I started getting nauseous so I took some of the meds I had for nausea. Didn't work so they gave me something in my IV for it. Im not sure what did it, but something make me so sleepy. I couldn't keep my eyes open even if I tried. Poor David had to sit there and watch TV while I snoozed. So in all the chemo wasn't bad at all. We got back to the hotel around 11:30 that night and I was out before my head hit the pillow. We got up around 9am to get ready to head home. I was so glad to get home. I missed Brayden and was so glad to see him when we finally pulled in around 7 o'clock. It was a long week, but we made it!! So right now I'm taking the pills, three of them twice a day and I get a dose of chemo every 21 days. I have to travel back to Houson quit a big the next month or so for check ups also. Let me tell you airfare is gonna kill me! You know the earlier you book the cheaper it is. Well booking 5 days in adance you pay an arm and a leg. I will get my scans done again on December 2nd. We will find out then if the treatment is working. Physically I'm doing okay. I have been nauseated and just really tired. Other than that everything is going good. I'm hoping the nausea goes away soon. That's all I can think of for right now. I'll keep everyone updated as time goes on.
