16 radiation treatments & 31 doses of chemo done....

Yeah I know it is pretty amazing that I have already done 16 radiation treatments and taken 31 doses of chemo, which means 14 radiation and 29 chemo left to do. Hi, I hope you all remember me I know it has been a long time, but this has really taken a lot out of me. I am glad to be able to say that even tho I feel like crap, I do feel better...so I am hopeful that at least it is shrinking the pancreatic cancer and as a second benefit the lymphoma too. I want to thank each and every one that has sent me cards, messages, posts, prayers, support and encouragement. To say that this has shocked me is putting it lightly, I was sure that Dr. Adams had gotten all the panreatic cancer cells and I am still reeling from this. The treatment itself is sorta brutal to the body, radation and chemo together just drain you of any energy you may hope to have. I have been lucky so far and the only problem side effect I have been having is nausea, but it responds to the medication I have for it so it is under control.

I am sorry I don't have a lot of energy and this is going to be a short blog this morning, I have been out of touch for a very long time and I just wanted to let everyone know what is going on. It is tiring, brutal and sickening...I look forward to finishing the last 14 radiation treatments and 29 doses of chemo...I pray that this kills the cancer cells. Again, I want to thank all my friends for your support and prayers, I will answer each of you later, but today I am about out of steam. I love you all and hope you live your lives to the fullest. Health, happiness, peace and love my friends.
