I have a Prayer Request my friends; Please keep my good friend Lady Rebel AKA Frankie in your Daily Prayers, she will be starting her Radiation and Kemo Therapy soon for the Cancer she has and needs our Prayers now that she will beat this terrible disease. Thank you all ahead of time.
This was an Email sent to me from Lady Rebel; I went to the radiation oncologist yesterday. Even though its a 45 minute drive, I felt a lot better regarding this doctor. He came in telling me the information that I already knew and that my case had gone before a board of doctors to discuss my care. This impressed me. He was straight forward, no sugar coating but the man had compassion in his eyes so I feel I have made the right decision to go there. My brother and sister in law were both impressed with the staff and the facility. I will be having 35-38 radiation treatments Monday through Friday, off Sat and Sun's so this will put it into May. I will be having some Kemo. He said the radiation treatments may not bother me too much at first but as they go on it will be harder on me. I told him I didn't want a feeding tube but he said he would have to wait and see how I tolerate and how my throat tolerates it. The Kemo will be light to where he said he didn't feel like I would lose my hair. I go for a cat scan tomorrow for them to map out my radiation and fix a mask that will hold my face and head in place every time, they will map this out on computer and mark me and then the next day I will start my radiation so it should start as soon as next week so we will see. I see the oncology medical doctor next Thursday along with the dentist for floride trays for my teeth. I am dreading this so much but the sooner I get started the sooner it will be over with then they will see me every 3 months and he said when we got to the 2 year mark that if it stays away (it can come back very aggressive) then he will feel like I have beat this. I have been having a bout of depression, it seems like it is all hitting me at once, realization of losing my friend Tommy, the cancer, the treatments, giving up my cats, Annie and Bud are going back to NC this weekend for a couple of weeks and Annie is going to come back and stay with me. So that part works out perfect with me just starting and then when it gets worse she will be here with me. I don't know what I would do without them. They have been wonderful. So for about two weeks I will be on my own. Whit my Daughter will probably stay some, we'll see. Look forward to hearing from everyone. Hope everyone is well and know I love you all!!! Hugs to all!!! me
