I had my second monthly visit back at Moffitt and I’m amazed that Joel and I did it all in one day. We left at about 7:15AM and arrived around 10:15AM. I still don’t know how Joel did the trip in 3 (not 4) hours. He says that he’s “the man” but I’m thinking he’s [...]
This past weekend Joel went to Miami for a photography workshop; he returned energized and appeared to have a productive and fun experience. While he was gone, Mommy, Jacob, and Grandma played. I left Joshua out because unfortunately he was pretty fussy all weekend. He had drainage issue (probably due to allegeries) and cried quite [...]
It was nice to be home for Mother’s Day. The day didn’t start beautifully. Josh’s morning screams triggered a headache that required me to take an oxycontin and take a nap. Luckily, it worked and by 11AM I was feeling groggy but better. For my gift, Joel and the boys gave me stackable mother’s rings. [...]
This was another busy week of appointments. I had physical therapy on Monday and Thursday. On Tuesday, I attended the cancer support group meeting for the second month in a row at the Christ Fellowship Royal Palm campus. On Wed., I saw my primary doctor. She said I looked good. I talked to her about [...]
If you’ve ever seen Office Space, you know what “flare” is, but just in case, “flare” is basically decoration. For the movie, it was a collection of buttons that Jennifer Aniston’s character was required to wear as part of her uniform for her waitress job. It’s kinda cheesy, but fun if you like it. Since [...]
Photography has become a hobby for Joel, and he’s really gotten into it. I’m not talking about taking some pictures; I’m talking different lenses and lighting and framing and other stuff I know nothing about. Joel does a lot of nature and scenery photographs, but he had this idea to do a portrait session with [...]
Today I saw my oncologist, and I think it was a good visit. At the very least, I liked what he had to say. He thinks that my BMT doctor is micromanaging me and going into overkill with certain things. First, he does not think I should have the PET/CT follow-up for my previous oral [...]
I’m not really sure where to start because there’s so much since that has happened since I blogged on Tuesday. I guess I’ll just start and see where it leads. Hopefully, I’ll make sense and not go off on too many tangents. Wednesday I made tons of phone calls, and got some good test results. [...]

This week is a bit different. Friday is my doctor day versus Tuesday because it’s time for my first monthly visit back in Tampa at Moffitt. We’re leaving Thursday and my appointments start at 9AM on Friday. Scheduled are lab work and a meeting with my BMT doctor. I expect a pretty uneventful visit – [...]
Since I’ve been home, I’ve going through everything. Organizing, purging, etc. Jacob and I have been updating his room to a big boy’s room, which I think I mentioned in a previous blog. We’ve done more work since then. We added a Spiderman poster and a lot more Cars stickers including a mural poster. We [...]
