WELL I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GIVE ALL OF YOU AN UPDATE ON MY AML LEUKEMIA.
I HAVE BEEN IN REMISSION FOR 15 MONTHS & 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY FOR MY STEM CELL TRANSPLANT WHICH MY SISTER CELLS HAVE FINALLY, FINALLY TAKEN OVER. IT HAS BEEN 9 WEEKS SINCE BLOOD TRANSFUSION, WHICH IS THE LONGEST SPAN SINCE 1/29/09, OH WHAT A SIGH OF RELIEF, I WILL HAVE BLOOD WORK IN 2 MORE WEEKS IF MY HEMOS ARE NO LOWER THAN A 10 , I CAN HAVE MY CVC LINES TAKEN OUT OF MY CHEST, YES YES. I HAD MY 1ST ROUND OF IMMUNIZATION SHOTS FOR MY IMMUNE SYSTEM, OUCH NOW I NO WHY THIS IS DONE WHEN YOUR A YOUNG CHILD. I DO HAVE LIVER, EYE, & BRAIN DAMAGE FROM CHEMOS &SC TRANSPLANT,
BUT THATS OK, I HAVE ALREADY LIVED LONGER THAN I SHOULD HAVE, WITH THE INTELLIGENCE, & TECHNOLOGIES OF DRS. & NURSES AT MDA ANDERSON, & THE CLINIC OF DR. GOOLSBY OFFICE IN LAKE CHARLES FOR HELPING ME FIGHT OFF INFECTIONS & BACTERIAS, THIS WAS A LONG HARD BATTLE. I WILL STILL HAVE TO USE CERTAIN PROTECTIONS FROM BACTERIAS & CHEMICALS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE BUT NOT AS ACCEPTABLE AS THIS 1ST YEAR.
I DO NO THAT THE REASON THIS IS HAPPENING FOR ME IS BECAUSE OF YOUR PRAYERS, WHICH I TRULY APPRECIATE MY HUSBAND, FAMILY & FRIENDS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT, & TAKEN CARE OF ME SO GRACEFULLY, I NO AT TIMES WAS NOT EASY & IS STILL NOT. BUT MOST OF ALL I THANK MY SISTER CAROLYN FOR GIVING ME LIFE !
OH WELL
PEACE & LOVE

WELL I'M TRYING TO CONVINCE MYSELF WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE THIS IS, EVEN THOUGH HOUSTON & CANCER STILL SUCKS. I HAD CHEMO & SEIZURE PILLS YESTERDAY SHIT MADE ME DIZZY MOST OF DAY, SO TODAY THEY ARE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, I WILL START TOMORROW WITH 2 DIFFERENT CHEMO'S FOR 4 DAYS, REST 2 DAYS, THEN TUESDAY I WILL RECEIVE MY NEW STEM CELLS. THEN THE FUN WILL BEGIN. THEY SAY I SHOULDN'T HAVE MUCH PROBLEMS SEENS MY SISTER CARYLON IS A PERFECT MATCH, SHE HAD TO GO THUR 10 DAYS OF TESTING THE LAST 2 DAYS WERE PRETTY ROUGH ON HER, BECAUSE OF HER BLOOD COUNTS DROPPING BUT SHE IS BETTER, SHE IS MADE OUT OF GOOD STUFF. I THINK I KNOW WHAT A PERSON FEELS LIKE WHEN THEY GO TO THE MILITARY OR PRISON, YOU KNOW HOW LONG YOUR GOING YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE GONNA GET KILLED IN THE PROCESS, WHAT EVER HAPPENS I WILL BE OK, I JUST PRAY THERE IS A PURGATORY BUT I'M VERY CONFIDENT I'M GOING TO BE FINE. I'M SO READY TO MOVE FORWARD, NO MORE CHEMO, NO MORE PILLS BUT MOST OF ALL TO PARTICIPATE WITH MY GRAND KIDS. I DON'T NEED ANY HELP BEEING CRAZY, JUST ASK MY SWEET HUSBAND MITCH. I'M SURE HE IS THINKING HIS MISSION ON EARTH IS TO TAKE CARE OF CRAZY SICK WOMEN, HE IS A GREAT GUY WITH LOTS OF COMPASSION & PATIENTS. SO FOR TODAY IS A GOOD DAY
I WATCHED A SPECIAL ON THE 60'S & 70'S LAST NIGHT, WELL WE MADE HISTORY, WHAT AN IMPRESSION WE LEFT BEHIND, & WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT WE HAVE MADE TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. THIS LAZY ASS GENERATION IS PRETTY SCARY ALSO, THIS IS THE GENERATION THAT WILL BE TAKING CARE OF US. OH WELL ENOUGH
PEACE & LOVE

I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I AM DOING OK.
ME & ONE OF MY GRANDSONS PLANTED MY GARDEN SO THE RABBITS & SQUIRRELS WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT, RIGHT KNOW IT IS FLOODED
I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO FISHING WITH MY GRANDKIDS THAT WAS FUN TO WATCH THE BOYS SCREAM LIKE GIRLS WHEN THEY WOULD CATCH ONE, & TO WATCH MY DAUGHTER FREAK OUT WHEN HER LITTLE GIRL SLIPPED INTO THE LITTLE POND
WE HAD A GREAT EASTER WITH ALL OF OUR KIDS & GRANDKIDS, FREINDS, BROTHERS & SISTERS AT SAM HOUSTON PARK THAT WAS REALLY SPECIAL
I HAVE HAD TO MAKE THE DECISION TO QUIT TAKEN THE TRIAL CHEMO, I WAS HAVING TO MANY SIDE AFFECTS THAT WOULDN'T LET ME FELL GOOD. BUT I WILL STILL HAVE THE STANDARD CHEMOS FOR THE NEXT 5 MONTHS IN LAKE CHARLES. I HAD A BONE MARROW TEST THURSDAY, I AM STILL IN REMISSION, THANK GOD!
MY WHITE COUNTS ARE VERY LOW THIS WEEK SO I HAVE HAD PALLETS SO I CAN BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR MY NEXT CHEMO TREATMENT WHICH IS NEXT MONDAY. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT MY LEUKEMIA WILL COME BACK SO THEY ARE TRYING TO PREPARE ME FOR BONE MARROW TRANSPSPLANT AFTER I FINISH MY TREATMENTS. THIS MEANS I WILL HAVE TO LIVE IN HOUSTON AREA FOR 3 OR 4 MONTHS. ALL THIS BULLSHIT IS SO OVERWHELMING FOR ME. I JUST WANT TO TAKE SOME TYLENOL AND GO TO WORK.
THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS
PEACE & LOVE
PEACE OUT

I started chemo yesterday 2 tablets twice a day, they also put a catheter in my chest for my ,intravenous chemo which will start tomorrow this will last for 5 days. don't know what Else to say other than i think of y'all often thanks so much for the prayers. i have had to have a pint of blood & also platelets so i do feel stronger today. Mitch is doing fine, he has been gone for a couple of hours now i may have to get dressed and go find him but I'm sure he is just visiting, by the time we leave here, he will probable be a MD Anderson greeter
