    Hi girls!

    I am so sorry I missed you in June. I had 2 chemo treatments but am doing pretty good.  Had a nasty allergic reaction (not to the chemo, but I think to some shrimp I shelled and ate in the middle of last month and it really got me down... had to do a big round of steroids... ugh... put me on a path to weight gain and EVIL mood.... think I am better now) My hubby and I did squeeze in some time at the beach on my good week to celebrate Father's Day... It was nice!  I am coping with the SE's of my FINAL round of TC!  YAY!

    See you all soon! Big hugs to all!

    Hi old friends. Long time no see. Busy girl I have been.

    I heard from Lisa's sister today that she is back in the hospital after some seizure activity on Friday. The doctors are not optomistic and only family can visit. Sorry to be the bearer of such terrible news. You never know with Lisa though she may just surprise everyone.

    Hey Liz~Laughing

    Thanks for asking... I am doing pretty well.  I am 12 days PFC now and the fatigue has been pretty rough this time around. I am just taking it slow and one day at a time. My kids are here now from Ohio and they have been great to help and to keep me laughing :)  They will be leaving August 5th. I certainly am enjoying my time with them. (if someone would tell me how I post a photo, I will post one of us.) Other than fatigue, the side effects have been minimal with the last treatment YAY!  I am constantly bothered by eye twitching and watering though... when will that end?? But all in all, happy to have chemo in the rearview mirror. Radiation is next beginning the first week of August, I think.  Hope to see you soon.

    I am sorry to hear about Lisa and will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

    Jan

    I'm sorry to hear that Lisa is back in the hospital, but also glad to know she is doing better and continuing treatment.  She sent me an email right before my scheduled stage 2 surgery, wishing me well.  That was less than a week ago.  

    Surgery didn't happen, long story...

    Jan, good to hear from you.  It's nice to know you are finally done, done, done with chemo!!  Eye-twitching and tearing will go away eventually.  Mine took several weeks PFC.

    Just wanted y'all to know that Lisa's tests all show improvement and she was supposed to have most of her tubes, etc. removed.  She will be moved to a regular room either today or tomorrow and, although she still can't speak, is alert and aware and looking forward to visitors. Ellen and Taylor are with her.

    The weekend of the 24th is likely not good for me - I start a new treatment on Thursday prior.  But go ahead and plan for that date if it works for everyone else.

    Lisa Update.  I visited her in the hospital today.  She is now able to have visitors (she's at Kaiser on Zion).  According to sister Ellen she will be moved to a rehab in the next few days - in Poway. Either Villa Pomerado or Villa Monte Vista.  Both right next to Pomerado Hospital.  When I know for sure which one, I'll let you know.

    Hi sisters, thank you dear Lisa, for the lovely photos, they are sooo nice.  Let me know what day and I will do my best to REMEMBER, but, I am 75.

    Ahem, on to better news, our dear Lisa, is rallying, she is a trooper!

    LISA UPDATE:  She is being transferred this evening from Kaiser  to Stanford Court Nursing in Santee (8778 Cuyamaca St., Santee)  619-449-5555  According to Ellen, she can have visitors.  I would call first just to confirm and also to make sure you don't arrive while she's at a therapy session.

    I am leaving for Nova Scotia on the 29th and will be back August 2.  My stage 2 surgery was postponed for August 5.

    If anyone is planning on going to see LisaSDCA and would like some company I am willing to tag along.  I can even drive us there.
