Plan Nine From Murrells Inlet

Time to meet with the cancer killers to plan my attack on my very own cancer. I will call mine Plan Nine From Murrells Inlet in honor of that great B movie maker, Ed Wood. Richard and I met with this wonderful nurse. She went over all the results of my tests. They were all negative for signs of cancer. GOD is good. However, she did say that we were still attacking this cancer with everything we had - some small cells are undetectable. So, my routine for the next month or so will be - Monday, Chemo - about 3 hours. Tuesday, go back for a shot of white blood cells. Then the next Monday I have to go in for lab work (nice way of saying they are going to take blood from you). Then start all over the next week. That will go on for 4 treatments. Then I start a different chemo. That one will be once every three weeks. Then, radiation. But I don't even want to think of that until I have to - one day at a time.
This was all predicated on the results of my lymph node removal and the healing of the incision.
Richard and I went to see my favorite surgeon to have the tube removed. He told me of the 13 nodes he removed, only 2 tested positive for cancer. AGAIN, GOD IS GOOD. Also, that the incision will be healed and I can in fact start chemo on Monday, Oct 26. HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait. That will be one down and only 7 to go. I am so ready to get all this cancer stuff behind be and get on with my life. I have things to do, and beautiful granddaughters to do them with.
I have missed my BSF for 3 weeks now and that makes me sad. I will be back next week ladies.
Oh, just a postscript - God puts angels in your life when you least expect them. One of my daughter's friends called me. She used to "stay" (live) at our house back when they were in high school. She came by and gave me some money - she said she wanted to help me - after all, she said, you used to take care of me and let me live at your house. It makes me cry still to think of the kindness so many have shown me.
God bless you all.
