I got the call today from my onco's office...I'm scheduled to be de-PORT-ed on July 5th ...yeah, not that the little beast ever bothered me, it was a godsend during chemo and any labs I had to have, besides  you can barely see the bump in my chest, the de-port-ation is another milestone, I count each one as blessing . My appointment with the cardiologist to review the blockage in my left carotid is next Wed another new  doctor to add to the list ...lol....gotta keep moving forward one day at a time.

 

have a great weekend ya'll , look at the super moon on the 23rd...blessings to you.

    Hey Linda !

    It's great to see you moving forward with things improving everyday.  Yeah I get the another specialist thing added....but what do ya do ?  Is this something they can fix with a simple procedure or meds ?  I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers until everything resolves with this issue.  You've got a fantastic attitude, and it's contagious !  I hope we can see that super moon too....but we've had nothing but storms every night for the past few days.  Hoping someone can take a picture and post it for me.  Hugs sent !  Katie

    Thanks

    Katie...thanks for the kind words...there is no place to go but forward...as for the blockage it's at 50% my onco says not to be worried..from what I read there are meds as well as procedures that can be done...so will see . My onco has always said I had a great attitude my thoughts and comments have always been I've got too much to do..an 8 yr old granddaughter I want to watch grow up , neices n nephews who are starting families, a brother and sistas too laugh and grow old with ...in my mind this dance I had with "C" was just a slight detour.

    I'll be sure to take pics of the super moon.

     

    be safe be well ms Katie

    You said it all...

    Linda,

    Congrats on your de"port"ation! I just posted a response to Sandy, who's having a rough time with her husband Rob. Then I clicked on your post and there it was in a few words what I was trying to say in many... "there is no place to go but forward".

    Ain't that the truth!

    Positive thoughts and prayers

    "T"

    You said it...

    "keep moving forward, one day at a time".  I told my family today "This is the worst day.  Each day will get better."  I'll say the same tomorrow, the next day, the next day :)

     

    Congrats on the de-port-ing!!  One day at a time!! :)
