Monday Musings…On A Saturday

When I last checked in during mid November I was working on getting ready for a new cancer treatment for my lymphoma that has never reached remission. I want to thank everyone for the prayers and positive vibes that have helped me make it through this last month where I was very ill again with…

Monday Musings…On A Saturday

It’s been such an exhausting week that I almost forgot it began with snow. I was diagnosed with cancer one year ago today and spent this last week going through the process of getting all the tests and paperwork done for the next line of treatment now that the cancer has returned. Over the last…

Monday Musings…On A Thursday

I’ve been Thunderstruck this past two weeks to feel better than I have in over a year and so far my body is tolerating the current treatment plan. Just when I think I’m gonna have a few days off from appointments and stress, Hells Bells poor little Harper became sick with pancreatitis. Thankfully she’s finally…

While it’s very nice to be told you’re special, it’s absolutely not comforting to hear “you’re a special case” from your doctor. I’ve started my new treatment plan…

Monday Musings…On A Tuesday

It appears my planning skills have gone out the window along with my lists and schedules and now Monday’s thoughts could show up any day of the week. It was wonderful to see so many classic cars last week at the Woodward Dream Cruise and to also see so many dogs enjoying the cruise in…

Monday Musings…On A Tuesday

I’ve been trying to figure out what I can blame for my lack of motivation during these dog days of summer and I’m still searching for answers. Could it be the very depressing state of what is happening in our country? The fact that I’ve been watching South Park for the first time might answer…

Far Out & Groovy Times

It appears my funky and fun mood can continue on throughout the summer after good news from my doctor yesterday. After a round of great test results, in late June I was told I still have minimal residual disease, which means I have a few cancer cells floating around in my blood, and could have…
