In our family, our 3 granddaughters are born on the same dates of 3 of our adult family members.
Sarah, born April 13 is the same as Joe, Kathy's husband!
Ellington, born Oct. 17 is the same as Bill, Ruthie's husband!
Tatum, born March 13, is the same as Ruthie!
As to other cancer updates, my healing from the tube stuck through my liver is coming a long. I had the bag removed so the bile goes out inside my body and seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. Miracles inside our bodies with modern medicine:)In 3 months I have to have the tube removed but not sure what happens then(?) I will find out though before hand😉
I have Home Health coming to the house from Centra and that helps a lot. My nurse will change the bandages or Ruthie, depending on who can in the appropriate time.
Now to the chemo pill, Lynparza. I did a very careless thing over the last few weeks. I started up again on the chemo pill but was only taking one twice a day instead of the 2 twice a day that was ordered. I realized it a few days ago, called the oncology center and reported my mistake. So, I started taking the recommended dose 2 days ago. The only side effects that I feel are some achiness about 45 minutes after I take the pills. So far so good. I really want to try to tolerate it since so many folks, including my oncologist really think it will work. I believe it when I see it is always my attitude. So far what I have tried was recommended and has kept my life going. Thanks to my oncologist, Dr. Kathleen Paul, thanks to my support group which includes many friends and relatives, and mainly thanks be to God for directing all in my path. Our neighbors the Woods and Carolyn Ashwell who have provided store runs and appointment transportation when our kids and sister cannot.
So extremely grateful for keeping my husband as my companion at home who supports, loves, encourages and is here. I guess we are here for both of us💗
