Hey everyone!! As most of you know, I have colon cancer. Well, a bunch of people in my city found out that I want to travel, seeing as the docs don't know how long I have. Well, the folks here donated a good bit of money to me for trips! So far I have gone to nyc and las vegas. I was in las vegas until late tuesday night. So, that is why I have not been here in a few days.
Anyway, I have had problems with my bladder b/c the cancer was attached to it and my right kidney. So, the doc put a stint in my kidney to open up the ureter(sp?) but, they only last a few months, so I had to have it replaced today. Everything went well, but the best news is that the tumor in my bladder has become nacrotic(sp?), or dead/dieing. I have been on a new chemotherapy, but the docs weren't sure if it would work! Haha! I guess it fooled them! So, now I have a dead tumor attached to my bladder as well as a tumor up above that in my abdomen. The doc didn't get to look at that one b/c he didn't want to disturb it. Also, I have a severe uti, and I have .N.E.V.E.R had a uti before and it is .P.A.I.N.F.U.L!! I can barely sit down. Oh well, at least my cancer is shrinking!!!
Back to traveling. You know I just got married in june. We married earlyier than expected b/c my cancer had come back. And we wanted to go to hawaii on our honeymoon, but couldn't book it in such short notice. So, we are finally going on our honeymoon to hawaii!!! We leave this sunday and don't come back til the next monday!!!!!! I am so excited!
I just thought I would let you girls know, since I consider all of you my friends!! I have pics of vegas, but don't have them on my comp yet, and we will take lots of pics in hawaii!!!!
So, it's like a honeymoon/celebration of my cancer!!
I love you girls!!
