The Stillroom

Here is my latest update. My doctor said I am responding to the chemo better than most of her patients in that I am tolerating the treatment well. My bad numbers have shrunk significantly since November. While I know there is no cure for this cancer, it gives me hope none the less. A drop from 42,000 to 97 is pretty good and anything below 50 is considered cancer free. I did have to skip my chemo this past week due to low platelet count but she is adjusting what she can for continued treatment every two weeks as they don’t like to skip a week. As for anything else, our son is home for a visit but will be leaving soon. I can’t wait for him to move back this summer. We miss him so much. He misses his family and hometown and Texas is just not where he wants to be. All good things must come to an end but new beginnings are always on the horizon! We closed on our parents house yesterday and that came with mixed emotions. But, it is a new beginning for a young couple and we made sure they are moving into a fantastic home! We are happy for them and it is just what our parents would have wanted! It’s another cloud covered day but that’s ok with me. I cherish each day my feet hit the floor and I am beyond grateful for my friends that I miss so much. They are keeping steadily in touch with lovely notes and cards and that lifts me up more than words can say. So, that’s what’s up🙂
