94... done.....

94 injections over.....ha I just realized my blog must look like the old song 99 bottles of beer. Only this should be 144 viles of interferon. I know it sounds pretty hokey.

I cannot believe how the temperature has been so out of control. It feels like July. In the 90s this week and last friday there was frost on my windshield.

94 down.........50 to go

93 over...whew

Friday was my monthly visit to the cancer center, and my oncologist. I also hit the urology office for the records to take to the new doctor in Philadelphia. Whew what a busy day. My Oncologist was very happy with my blood counts.

We went to Rehoboth this weekend for the Italian Heritage Club. ( Mikes Mom and Dad are members). John and Bernadette joined us, we then went to the boardwalk. There was a Little League parade, Mike sat there cheering on each team, it was funny watching the kids get excited as he cheered for him. (You would think he was at a Phillies Game or something) As the parade ended the last car was a police car so he yelled at the very end GO...Cops!. The officer looked over and gave him a thumbs up. It was pretty funny. err maybe you needed to be there.

There was a World War 2 exhibit - that was very informative . It is good to remember how our country stuck together then. Pretty different with all the idiots in Washington. I think they have forgotten just why they are in office. But I won't use this as a political forum.

We had lunch and headed for home....whew I was wiped out. Glad Sunday is a day of rest.

93 done..........51 to go

92.... over

Today is a sad day. Our sweet mama robin was viciously attacked and killed by the evil cat across the street. The cat ripped the nest out of the holly tree tore up the nest and half ate the robin. I have never seen such a vicious result of an animal attack.

I don't know whether the cat is to blame or the cats owner. That cat uses our front flower beds as its personal litter box. (really stinks)We have talked to her about the nuisance but she simply says cats will be cats.

Is that what Jesus said love thy neighbor. Does that mean her cat too?

Side effects were manageable, though I suffered from a rough bout of nausea.

So.......92 down .......52 to go

90 and 91.... done

The weekend was absolutely wonderful! I posted a album called a day without Cancer. We went to Fenwick Island and Ocean City, spent the day with John and Bernadette and Otto too. Ellie and Otto played on the beach we walked on the boardwalk. Ate good food and laughed a lot. It was truly like old times. Wow I almost forgot what it feels like to be a normal person (without cancer).

Today started out pretty gloomy and rainy but the sun came out and it ended up being a very nice afternoon, if only the side effects could go away with the rain, then life would be a good thing. This robins nest is in a holly tree right outside our front door. Every time we use the door the mama attacks. That is new ... we have an attack robin. She does a better job than our German Shepard Ellie.

91 down........53 to go

89.........getting closer

The sun is SHINING!!!

I was startled seeing the bright light outside.

How I missed it.

Side effects are manageable today,

I think the sun shining seems to be helping to ease the "evil" side effects.

89 down...................55 to go

88 over..................rainy day blues

Rain ... rain.... go away. Come again another day. ( preferably after my back yard dries up) it looks like a lake back there.
So it has been very gloomy and the rain just doesn't seem to let up. I guess that is better than a drought. I guess we are never satisfied. OK so I will stop complaining, and say, the side effects yesterday were manageable. I only felt really bad for about 4 hours.

So 88 down ...... 56 to go

..He has risen!............................ Happy Easter

87th injection over......

Today the skies are dark and raining.


My side effects are manageable.




We are looking forward to going to Mass this afternoon, and celebrating the Resurrection of our Savior tomorrow.


87 down..........57 to go

84, 85, 86 done.......

Well I am really behind on my posts. It has been a week since my last and not too much on the Cancer treatment front. Everything is still going. Sometimes too slowly, but I know once I look back it will be a distant memory. So in the meantime time keeps ticking away........
My side effects on Tuesday were extra bad. It is funny and I know I have said this before but... just when you think you can predict the effects. Things get shaken up.

So today is Passover and tomorrow "Good Friday" I always wondered why we choose to call it "good" when that is the day our Lord was crucified. I know it was good for us, but I think I would rather think of Easter as the Good day.


86 down .... 58 to go

83rd injection done...........

So I am still moving pretty slow after my surgery. But I can tell I am on the mend and each day I feel a little better.

The side effects still linger on and on and on and...well you get the drift. Just counting down.

83 down............61 to go
