Winter Warning 2023…
January 31, 2023 by portiaganymede23
Throat is sore. Have to clear my throat a lot. My nose is stuffy and my voice feels tired, is scratchy. 🤧
- But am good, even though I had to reschedule my Pet Scan & another appt.
Look forward to curling up w/books, doing some writing- finally, & watching some movies! 🥰

Cookie vs Cancer…
January 21, 2023 by portiaganymede23
I wish I could express how incredibly tired & over- whelmed I am physically, emotionally and mentally. Diagnosis 2020- trying to get treatment and moving out of apt. 2021- treatment finally in mid/late 2022- and now 2023, covid for several wks. before chemo wrap up, and more appts./treatment(s) to keep me well beyond chemo and initial treatment. Not sure how much I have in me to go on at times… or even if I want to. I just try each day…

Massive feels…
January 21, 2023 by portiaganymede23
So in theory, i’m done w/chemo, pending pet scan 1/31 & dr. visit to go over results.
Haven’t done anything to celebrate- would love to do virtual shin dig or whatnot but seeing this reminds me I need a pick me up, people, & the goofy stuff people do & say to show they care.
P.S. there’s also a weighted Eeyore that sighs on website. I tried to get one to take w/me during chemo, but no dice- for various financial reasons & the damn website wouldn’t let me use coupon/discount/whatever it’s called!
😔 🤗 💜 ðŸ˜

Feeling nauseous…
January 20, 2023 by portiaganymede23
Has happened after last round of chemo & this current, and hopefully- last round- round 6.
There are a lot of meds i take the days after chemo- 10 pills 4 days after; then 9 pills 5 days after; then 4 pills the rest of time after chemo.
What adds to pill count are Prednisone (tue. through sat.) & nauseua pill i take 4 days after (tue. through fri.)
Ugh, will be happier when i take less pills & have less appointments.

It’s been awhile…
January 14, 2023 by portiaganymede23
UPDATE: many thanks to my oncologist for prescribing antibiotics to help fight covid, while i also fight cancer.
Am feeling a lot better than when i got sick on 12/24- yeah i’ve been sick THAT long!
Tue. will be round 6 of chemo- should be my final round.
Then later on i’ll have a pet scan & dr. will look at results & determine next steps.
Given my lymphoma stems from my bone marrow transplant in 1978, there will be more appointments & treatments, etc. to help keep me well.

Chemo & beyond…
December 21, 2022 by portiaganymede23
Appreciate the time I had off. Appreciate the time I had to attempt rest- even if real rest didn’t happen that easily or very much. However, I need income coming in (for myself & for my family), so back to work I go…
Appreciate the support & well wishes given!
- I’ll still do fundraisers given that:
- I have At Least 2 rounds of chemo left- will know more Tue. 12/13.
- After Chemo, I will have more tests, etc. to see how my bone marrow factors in to my health & to keep cancer at bay, etc. (Basically, ongoing maintenance)
