Memorial Day Weekend....wow!  Busy, busy, busy.

May 20-Let's see we left off at having missed a chemo for counts again.  Weekend was great.  I was feeling good so we got things done around the house and finally went for a motorcycle ride.  Awesome.

May 26-Expecting friends from Florida, you all remember Kathy from February, she and her husband are houseguests for the long weekend.  So, Thursday off to Dr. Chitumbar and chemo.....or as we say in Wisconsin.....or no.  Low whites.  AGAIN!!!!

Even the Dr doesn't get it.  I should be lethargic and tired but I feel great.  What the heck!

Nice long weekend with friends, riding as much as we could.  Went to Immaculate heart for Rhythm Method band, a tradition and a never miss on Friday.

Saturday was special.  A surprise finally revealed and........

 

She said yes!  My oldest daughter got engaged to her man :)  It happened at a lunch before so her grandparents could be there, then several of us went to a baseball game.  We couldn't be happier for both, and welcome a new son in law.  :)

Saturday night a quick ride with friends a little rain, 

and it's a perfect day.

Sunday was riding again and a couple breakdowns and fun in between.  Monday we attended a nice Memorial day celebration at The Bunker, then the afternoon was friends and a BBQ at home.   Nice way to end the weekend.

The Bunkers tribute 👍

May 31-Tuesday was dedicated to a breast MRI.  Requested so I can get some internal views instead of all external views.  This time done at Community Memorial in Menomonee Falls because they can get me in a week earlier.  I got to listen to music during this one 👍👍 Annnddd......we wait.

June 1-A great way to start the month.  After a visit with my Therapist, I visited the school to try to help out before the end of the school year, and said goodbye to some retiring teachers.  On the way home I check my voicemail and hear....no mass seen or lymph nodes!!  Chemo is working and I still have 5 to go!  Needlesstosay I cried on the way home.  I can't wait to actually see the difference between the earlier and this one.  I will post them when I get them.

June 2-Thursday, and here we are again waiting for blood results at chemo.  Squeaking by with a 1.0 on the Neutrophil Absolute Scale (the white count they care about)  and we have Chemo!! (said in my best boxing announcer voice).  Its been 3 weeks.

Praise the Lord.  Because of the consistently ultra low counts the Dr. has reduced my TaxoI makeup a bit and dropped the last doubler of Taxol/Carboplatin which would have been June 16.  I might actually get to the end of chemo.  4 more to go!

So here I am today feeling pretty good so far and watching the cleanup crew work on my sadly water damaged basement.  A spigot busted and leaked down the walls flooding the carpet. Thank goodness for home owners insurance....not so much for the deductible.

If all goes well chemo is done at the end of this month.  Hallelujah!

I wanted to say to anyone reading this, if you have questions please ask.  I'm sure if you are thinking it, so are many others.  You can leave the question on here or on Facebook, email or text me, or in person.  I want to answer all your questions.  I would rather you ask then guess, wonder, imagine, or be kept in the dark.  If it crosses your mind, ask.

I'm not embarrassed to answer any question, and if I dont know the answer I will get it.

I've been consistently asked about my hair loss.  Yes it's all gone.  Hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, legs, armpits, etc, etc, etc.  ;)  ALL of it.

 

Until next time........a good update 👍👏🍻👣👼🌞🎉
