So far the only day I'm really feeling the effects is Thursday after my Wednesday Chemo treatment.  Its sort of a jet lag feeling from the Ativan and Zofran.  I've been told that the sleeve they were going to place in the cervix later on for direct chemo infusion won't be done.  So I will have to go for extended radiation treatments on that area.  Yesterday I was switched from Saline Solution IV to Dextrose to limit the swelling in my legs.  It will be another week and a half before they can see if there has been any shrinkage in the tumor.

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

Thank you all so much for all the offers, I am so grateful to the new man in my life who has been by my side since my surgery in July. 

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

Yes, I haven't posted anything about him, I don't want to jink it.  We've been seeing each other since I had my surgery in July at Einstein.  He is a recent widower and is recovering from open heart surgery.  Nothing serious yet but we also live close to one another. 

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

Nan,

Wishing you good news and happy that there is someone special to cheer you on, as well as offer their support, but you know you always have a back up in us. . .

Hugs and prayers, Laureen
