Something that really sucks about this is the amount of pills I have to take on a daily basis. I’m not someone who ever really took anything and I used to have huge problems with swallowing pill, so I’ve always hated them. Now, I have three pages worth of drugs I take that get altered [...]
As you may remember, the day after I left the BMT isolation ward of the hospital, I got sick with a horrible cough. Because I had the cough, they put me on isolation and I have to wear a mask. I’m still on isolation because the cough is nearly gone, but continues to linger some. [...]

An interesting side effect that I hadn’t experienced until my last few chemo treatments was chemical burning. While going through the initial chemo treatments back home, I had numbness in my thumbs, but never pain. This time, my thumbs literally burned. They turned red and hurt like heck. The doctors prescribed me this nasty oily ointment [...]
To begin, it appears I’m doing well. My blood work is doing okay. Some virus has reactivated in my body. I can’t remember the name, but it’s a 3 letter acronym that starts with a C. Apparently, no need to worry; 80% of people have it. We get exposed when a child, and the doctor [...]

We usually try to get out to the fair when it’s in town each year. I can’t say it’s a favorite outing of ours, but it generally gives us an excuse to go out. Every year we go, and after an hour or two, we’re sort of ready to leave. There’s usually one or two [...]
I’m glad this week is finally over. It’s been rough especially Wed. and Thursday. Although I’m still sore from Wed.’s bone marrow biopsy, I’m better today. Today I saw the physical therapist and the exercises actually seemed to help. I’ve been moving around more and today I actually went inside two stores with my mask [...]
Back in December, Jake and I went to see our family dentist. Jamie and I have been going to Dr. Denton for at least ten years now. He has got to be the nicest dentist ever and his staff is superb! I can honestly say I have ZERO fear whenever I go in for a [...]
I’ll let Jamie’s facebook status sum it up: Jamie Quevedo Is doing better than she expected but still has another procedure tomorrow We won’t have her biopsy results for at least a week or so, but as per her doctors, everything else is looking good and they are really pleased with her recovery so far.
