Today I had an okay day. Although I had radiation in the morning and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon, it still wasn't that bad. The afternoon appointment was with Dr. Owens who is a surgeon and was following up on the progress of my tumor. The last time I saw him (about three months ago), all he saw was scar tissue where my tumor used to be and today was the same. The only difference was that one of my lymph nodes was enlarged in my armpit. We're going to keep an eye on that because that could take off and cause more problems. However, he really didn't seem that concerned and told me not to worry. Overall I've felt better today than the past several days. My arm was so bad that I really couldn't type and that is why I haven't blogged. So to those who say I don't blog enough, Kimmy, back off...LOL! I know you mean well, but my arm was really bad. Today I haven't even had any Morphine and that's how I always gauge whether or not I'm having a good day, as to how much pain meds I've needed. Tomorrow I go see my Radiation Oncologist after my treatment and I sure hope I haven't lost more weight this week or I'm in trouble. I've been trying really hard to eat more (especially protein), but sometimes it's hard to get anything down. I did have one of those Ensure drinks, but unless you get used to the taste, it's kinda yucky. I'm going to have to try harder and maybe mix in some fruit or something to get it down. I know, I know, it's good for me so I'm going to have to work something out.
Today I have HOPE in my doctors and nurses, and in the science behind finding a cure for this nasty disease. I have HOPE every time I wake up in the morning and realize that God has allowed me one more day with my loved ones. I will never give up my HOPES and dreams. May God bless you all.
Peace to you all ~ Love, Genie

Hey Sweetie! How about mixing that protein shake with Full Leaded Ice Cream? And chase it with some carrot cake. Gaining weight is a gift for me and I would love to share it with you.
