Tick Tock …

Tick Tock…tick tock…..

The waiting game is a well refined art, that I am just getting used to dealing with.  I am,  by no means a patient woman, so for me to have scans taken and having to wait for the expert to explain it in layman’s terms what exactly they mean, like I said, I am not a patient woman.  Yesterday, Randy and I finally got some answers and sadly they are not good.

My CT scans show a 30% increase in the size of the tumors that are in my left lung…not good…what this means for me is, I will not continue with the clinical infusions at UCSD….basically it is not working on the cancer and so we need to find something that will work.  We are currently in the search for a new clinical trial that I can get involved with, Randy is actually on the phone with a medical center for a clinical trial as I type this note.  I am also trying to get into a new chemo infusion schedule with Kaiser, hopefully starting this week.

I have been blessed with a large family and friend base.  This past weekend, my brother Jimmy visited for the weekend….it was four months in the making….so, while I wait for our next step in this project, that we know as the cancer battle, I will continue to enjoy family and friends, having brunch, complete with southern style biscuits and gravy (Thanks Jimmy!), search for the super bloom of desert wildflowers and living life large as ever.  Thanks for all the love and support that I receive from you, my blogosphere friends, and I will keep you all posted.
