Hello all,
I'm here at IU med center getting my 6th chemo infusion. Two left and I'm not going to miss either of them. Last treatment was much easier on me. The medicine seemed to do the job controlling the nausea. I have gained all of my weight back plus a couple of pounds. The people here think that is great but it is pissing me off...you would think they wouldn't mind a few pounds lighter. Any way, things are going well. I had a great week last week. On Thursday-Sunday I actually felt like my old self, before surgery that is. I even had a case of road rage which verified that my temper was returning to normal.

As I talked to my oncologist, he said that I would have another CT scan PET scan a year from my surgery. So around Aug-September I will have that. I will also see him every 3 months for the first 3 years and every 6 months for the next 2. After that, I'm not sure. He told me that with all of the procedures: Radiation/chemo, surgery, chemo, I will have a 1 and 3 chance of the cancer to reacure. After 10 years that there would only be a 10% chance.

Ok, Beth was with me and she didn't know she was supposed to pick up all of this info from the doctor. On Friday I will meet with my surgeon, Dr. Robb. I'll be anxious to know how my insides have healed. They say it takes a long time for the vaginal area to heal. Not only is there the incision, but scar tissue creates some issues also. Not a big deal...at least not right now.

Again, thank you for all of your prayers and help. I so appreciate it all and so does my family.

I will let you all know how things go with Dr. Robb. So until later. Judi
