I have been asked by many people how I feel about the tumor leaving my body. I just have to say I never doubted that it would. This Little c Trial re-enforced that Jesus was and is in charge of my life. Two outcomes were possible; first I could get well, which I did or I could die which I didn't.
That does not mean that I am not scheduled to die but it wasn't my time to leave this earthly home and I don't run the schedule. And look at my possibilities, its 50/50 and if I die I get a new well body in heaven and if I live I keep this body and have to rebuild. So I now enter the rebuild stage of life. My weight went from 183 to 156. I hope to get back to 170 or 175 and stay there. Already in touch with the Villages health club and personal trainer. So will have to work at it. I am weak right now but today will be my first 3 meal day. Cereal, strawberries for breakfast, eggs, bacon, toast and some taters for lunch and roast beef for supper. I'm rolling, have to eat three meals per day before we leave for Florida. Miss my car and golf buddies and I'm sure they will try to add the weight to me. Once this sore throat goes away its Katie bar the door. I dream of a nice steak, mashed potatoes, and gravy and some veggies especially some of Norm's secret Mac and Cheese.
Have one more Dr appointment next Wednesday and then none for 12 weeks. Thats kind of nice, you just get tired of driving to the cancer center every day and getting something done that is good for you. Makes you remember the days when you weren't feeling well and here come the Castor Oil because "it is good for you".

I'm Back ...................
When I first started this blog I stated that it was not intended to be a complain forum. That is why I have not posted since February 9th. I took my 3rd chemo and in the hospital, plenty of IV's and then I took my last radiation and felt worse. So no posting except to say this stuff will kick butt.
Today is March 7th and the sun is shining and it is a brisk 40 degrees. I have started to eat real food (defined as food I ate before the treatment, McDonald's for breakfast, Yea yea yea!) We set some travel standards. They are that I must be able to eat 3 meals a day and be able to eat "road" food. That way we will be able to travel on March 17th. That will be a great day to head back. Been a long 4 months but hopefully it cures the cancer. I can swallow now pretty regularly and am pounding the water in to flush my kidneys. They are responding well and I have a blood test twice a week to make sure they are. Doctors appointments tomorrow and then next Wednesday and Thursday. Tube down the nose to see what it looks like and then will have the first of many scans in May.
Many thanks for all your prayers, thoughts and well wishes. Especially to Jackie, thanks for all your guidance and assistance.
