A day off.

Nothing is going as planned. TBI didn't start. The wounds from my VATS procedure are not healing fast enough. They won't TBI me until I am healed up. Greg came down and went to the Food safty class today with Ron. The clinic is hoping to start TBI and chemo next week maybe. Tomorrow I go in to have my "wounds" checked out again. I have lived here for 2 months and still have not gotten ANY treatment for CANCER!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's going on.....

Tomorrow will be my third infusion of Palifermin, before I start TBI (Total Body Irradiation) on Tuesday. TBI is scheduled twice a day at 8am and 7pm Tuesday through Friday. That's as far as my schedule goes for now... chemo will be afterwards. I am pretty sad I missed pumpkin carving and Billy's birthday party. There is a door decorating contest in our building for Halloween. Tomorrow when I get it decorated I will post a picture. Not sure what the prize for winning is but I am super excited that my competition looks bleak. :)


Thanks for being my "followers"!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to get a hi or a comment from anyone if your not too busy. I read the ones that are posted and appreciate it. Thanks. Until tomorrow.

Hailey if you read this.... I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Love, Dawn

FLU SHOTS....

Please Read.

Thanks Greg!!

I would like to thank Greg, Ron's brother, for speaking with his boss and being able to provide a day a week of his time down here in Seattle helping Ron take care of me, giving Ron a break is a very important thing. Hailey will be excited to see her daddy more.

Thanks again Greg!!

Paraneoplastic Syndrome

Anyone know what's wrong with me? I am great today. No idea what ten minutes will show. No appetite. At least they let me leave the floor today went outside. Nice day. Ron and Charles went to go get me food. Mindy visited today too. Had a couple coffees and a nap. I am in this bottom of the barrel strange category where no one can really tell what's wrong with me. The docs are keeping me here for another day or so to monitor me. Who knows what will happen.

Could be Paraneoplastic Syndrome

Antibiotic side effect
or Pregnason (sp?) keeping a "tumor" from giving me side effects.

Who knows.

9 days here so far.8NE ain't it great. :)

Thanks everyone for being here and thinking of me. Mom, Dad, Billy, Breanna, Love u guys.

off for now to play a game while I can.

Family.

Mom, Breanna and Austin came to visit today. It's nice to have visitors. At home or the hospital. Just no sick people. Weird symptoms today. Lots of dizziness and some double vision. Never a fever. They are keeping my hydrated and still pumping antibiotics in me. Not sure when the blood cultures will come back and if they will even show anything. Stuck here until Wednesday at least. Monday they have a VATS Procedure scheduled for me.

Hopefully I will see Hailey before the weekend is over.

Back in the hospital.

Went in for a bag of antifungal medication because a spot that was found in my lung, after the bronchoscopy (they went in and cleaned out the area and sampled the fluid around it) so, it never grew any bacteria or infection... it must be fungus... next thing I know I am shiver, chattering, FREEZING, again. Oh my, another SOMETHING. It's always something these days. In the hospital now. Took an ambulance over to the UWMCagain. That's where I am at now. Feeling fine again. Like I could go home. Must wait until the blood cultures show something... figure out why I got the fever.
