    Laundry. Lots of Laundry
    After a wonderful 3 weeks in France, we came home yesterday, and now have to dig through our suitcases, sort, wash, and re-organize our lives.

    I can't complain, tho. The vacation in France was well worth any inconveniences or drudgery on returning home!

    I'm having the surgery today
    I'm having the surgery today (Friday) at 2:20pm. They know the nodule has grown from 12 mm to 18 mm. And given it's location a biopsy would be difficult, most likly would have to be a brochial eltro-magnetic guided biopsy. And the surgeon said the possibility of a false negative was not insignificant, and given the history of two cancers the surgeon felt the resection was our best option.

    Good luck Phil !
    My prayers !

    They think they have found it!
    Pepe! Have a good time with your family. I am proud to say that the doctor's think they have found a reason for
    My persistant coughing.

    They think the acid from acid reflux got into my lungs and vocal chords causing coughing ang severe bronchitis, which was not restrained by cough medicines. They haveme on reflux meds and we will see what happens.

    All this time and money wasted and all I had to do was go get a box of antacids from the pharmacy?

    This weekend I may celebrate. I am trying to be positive about this issue. Now I can't eat big meals. So I shoud be losing more weight. I have had to give away 5 pairs of jeans already and my a** is usually the last to go.

    -Ktz

    Hahaha, Ketz , you era so funny !
    Well congratulations and go to get the antacid now! LOL.
    Have a big hug!

    Good morning Pepe!
    What movie are you going to see?
    I have a jamming weekend. Today our twins go from being Daisys to brownies, which is part of the ladder for Girl Scouts. We are having a party here afterwards for the parents and little girl scouts so I'm busy getting things together for that special event. (I REALLY should get off the computer!!!0
    Our friends from Barcelona are moving from California to New Jersey, so we are having a dinner for them on Sunday. Think we'll do posole, which is a Mexican yummy soup, almost like a very wet salad it you do it right. She taught me how to make paella, so this is my reciprocal home dish.
    I will really miss them. When I was undergoing tx, they would take the girls for the night, and they spent almost every holiday with us for the last three years. Really feel like family members.
    will check back in later to see what everyone else is doing.
    Prayers and strength to all those in tx.
    NOW I REALLY HAVE TO GET OFF THE COMPUTER!
    Love,
    Tommycat

    Good night Tori !
    Movie canceled as tote does not feel very well, she has a kind of alergic rush in all her face! .
    Hope a great party with your friends from Barcelona despite it must be a little bit sad .
    Have a big hug and rest from you computer Tori!

    These are my favorite posts and I hope I will have some good weekends to say hey! This is what I am doing! R&R for this weekend.

    Wishing everyone to feel well and forget about cancer as we can and enjoy the weekend!

    Hi Pepe,

    Well, since Rick is finally feeling better after a terrible two weeks, we're planning to take his kids to lunch then to see the new M.I.B. movie tomorrow. And if he's still feeling well on Sunday, we'll join his family in a multi-birthday celebration for his daughter and two nephews.

    Happy weekend everyone! Hope it's a good one for us all. :-)

    its been awhile
    I've had a good couple weeks, yet a bad couple weeks...

    the good... my blood work is good. CEA has gone from 57 to 2.5.
    I was to have 4 more weeks of chemo, but they suspended my chemo treatments as the side effects have gotten much too bad.

    Feet & hands - Neuopathy has gotten crazier and crazier. Never expected such a side effect.
    then, my mouth and tounge, inside of my nose and the watery eyes has gotten to a point of where the doctors said with more chemo, it will be serious. then, the erbitux rash continued to get worse.... so the short of it, no more chemo.

    the good of it... they want to do the reconnect of my colon and the removal of the dead tumor in my colon wihtin the next 2 to 3 weeks.

    So... this weekend... My son's graduation and a couple graduation parties.
    other than that, a LOT of rest and good eating so i don't get sick before the surgery.

    this chemo cocktail is really taking its toll on me. its been a very hard couple weeks... and glad to not have the chemo right now.

    enjoy your weekend everyone!

    Hugs from Toledo, Ohio.

    weekend
    Tomorrow I'm going to a scrapbooking session to make a paper bag scrapbook. It's for our minister (and my boss and good friend), who is going to a new church in a few weeks.

    After that, Bill and I are meeting Rachel and the grandchildren for some shopping and lunch downtown.

    On Sunday, I am celebrating my birthday!

    *hugs*

    Road Trips
    I'm going kickstand up tomorrow at 8:30 to head up to Idaho Falls for a beer fest. I'll be over nighting with a bunch of other people and then headed back home on Sunday. Then, Monday morning me and the fur-kid are going to get picked up at 9 to go to a fishing retreat for men with cancer sponsored by Reelrecovery.org at a luxury lodge, all expenses paid. I just wish my dad could go, he probably needs a get away more than I do.

    Have a great weekend, all! I'll check in again on Sunday evening!
