    I am so touched you guys

    I am so touched you guys wrote. We are kinda freezing here in Jerusalem buried under ice and snow and broken trees and branches. Sporadic electricity and creative cooking. Schools closed and public and private transport at a standstill. Never this much snow in over 100 years!

    i have been lurking because mainly I didn't want to be a downer for the newbies. Needed a stent as kidney started backing up because of tumor pushing on uterer. Was loathe to do it because feared uti-s which of course I got!

    Then had 18/18 radiation treatments, my fifth a rad go round, to zap the tumor pressing on uterer. If very lucky they won't have to replace it, but more likely it has to be replaced every three to four months. Yuk. A sense of walking around with a tampon!

    There is another tumor in general vicinity which they felt was small and we'll wait till next PET SCAN as that is only thing that shows what is going on. My bloods and Ca 125 are great even as I make tumors. Luckily not in vital organs but along lymphatic system.

    I chose not to do more chemo as it was killing my immune system and me, and I made tumors on chemo too! I just agree to Rad and surgery to 'cherry pick' as my doc says.

    Thank Gd I am working four hours or so a day, keeps me sane.

     

    Thanks again for wondering about me I do pray for you all and wish you a wonderful and healthy holiday season and New Year.

    Thanks so much for looking out for me.

    Wrote a whole Megillah. Got eaten. We are hurried under mounds of snow and ice, no public or private transportation in Jerusalemim doing relatively ok ,just finished 18/18 rad treatments for tumor pressing on my uterer causing kidney backup, after I had stent!

    and the beat goes on.

    thanks again SaraSara
