Yeah ... Yippie .... only one more Chemo to go !

When I got my Chemo yesterday , the Dr ordered me not to take the Steroids since they make me feel like I am on Speed ! So this time I received it through my IV . I sat there from 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM ! Some new Lady came in and she sat all the way in Corner .I could sense that she was just recently diagnosed ! I don't know what type of Cancer she has but she hates OBAMACARE > > > what a Idiot >>> I know we are all different ; but she just butted in on my Conversation with a old Lady ( 80 ) and tried to preach . But when she thought that she was so much smarter then me >>> the Foreigner <<< I had to correct her . She said Teddy Roosevelt was a Democrat  I said no but he was called a Traitor of his Party <<<the Republican Party >>> and he was one of the last GOOD Republican that gave a damn about our Country .
Anyway today I went and got my Shot of Neulasta that helps my Platelets to reproduce !
I feel sick today but I can take it ! In three weeks I have my LAST Chemo . Then we scan again . But the port stays in for about another Year, in case something else is growing .
Today I will stay in Bed :) Just hanging out with my Dogs ...

Chemo this Thursday 24th of January

I was thinking  today , why did I get Hepatitis C ? And why , when I finally feel a little better from my last Ordeal with a new Medication that was so posed to cure me ; and that Rash almost killed me , I get diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer ?
But I believe that everything happens for a reason and I just have to figure out what God has in mind for me ! There is nothing I can do and that is the hardest part : that I have no Control over it . Most of the time I wonder if I could ever get healed ? But I am also a smart Woman and know what Stage 4 means .
I have finally laid the off the Cigarettes . Only cheated  yesterday ! Isn't that sick ? When I first got diagnosed I tried to stop and I did well, but then I started again . I told myself " What harm can it do , I already have Lung Cancer " But all that is crazy ! I have to get a Grip on this . Day 4 with Patches ! Went to the Dr today and told him about my Headaches and my Neck . He scheduled the MRI for me for the 31st in SMH at 10 AM . This Thursday January 24th I will receive my Chemo ! Yuk ...

Everything is taken care of

We took care of the Reservation for the Suite made for 8 ( 12 min from Disney ) And we can bring our 2 Poodles with us ! Yeah !!!!!
Now we found out on Military.com that Disney is offering a special for Veterans and retired Military ! ( Well , we have to go near a Base to pick up the Tickets and then each person can get a 4 Park Tickets for $ 99 instead of 45 $ a Ticket per person )
I guess it paid to have a Military Man ! But his Bi Polar drives me nuts sometimes but we love each other and either one of us would ever leave one another !
The last 2 Years where hell ; first the reaction to the " Teleprevir " for my Hep C and I thought I was going to die ! That was the worst ! Then when I was diagnosed in April 2012 with Cancer I actually broke for the first time since " Katrina " in 2005 ! The same Year we lost our Girl Rhonda
But you know what ? This Year will be so much better ! I just know it :) I know she is still around because I feel her around us ! We will never forget you Rhonda ! You will always be our Girl !
