Hi everyone! I am back from MDA today. Had the biopsy in the lung and abdominal wall done yesterday. Waiting on results and will see onc here in San Antonio Thursday morning. We go from there with the results of the biopsy with some kind of chemo treatments. I'm scared but determined to keep doing life as best I can. I will return to work Tuesday for as long as I can. Pretty tired now but will write more later. Hope everyone is doing well.

Breathe, pray, rest, relax, smell the roses:) MJ

    No place like home!
    Glad you're back and will be able to do your treatments there. Will you have to return to MDA for future scans and diagnostics? Is your oncologist in your hometown? I'll continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. MM

    Thank you sisters for all your kind words and prayers!!!! My new husband and I spent today getting ready for the tile man to come tomorrow and start our bathroom remodel. My husband is paralyzed on the left side and I thought it would be good if we got the bath ready for him to have a roll in shower. He said that I could use his chair and sprayer if I needed it too:) We have decided to go on living our lives...he is returning to his teaching job tomorrow and I'll return to work on Tuesday and the bathroom will get done right on schedule and we will do our vacations working around the chemo...whatever that looks like in the future. You are all survivors...we will get through this together! Next onc appt on Thursday at 1020a. Hopefully the results from the two biopsies will be in then!

    Breathe, pray, rest, relax, smell the roses...one day at a time:) MJ

    You go girl! I am also
    You go girl! I am also stage 4 and we cannot bury our head in the sand, i do not feel too bad. Although, I have decided not to work this time through my cancer treatment. My doctor has me on disability until December, which my employer has approved. He feels that i need this time for my body to recoup. Also, my job can be stressful and demanding and i go for chemo every Thursday, and Friday i sleep. Plus, I have been having some side effects and there are so many doctor appointments, not to mention the phone calls. I do not know what i am going to do for another 4 months off work! I do feel relieved about the job situation though. I am hoping that my mind and body will heal during this time. Take care
