Is January a really dark, long month or is it just me?

Thank you all for your support. It helps SO much as I slog through treatments! 


I made it through the week, with a painfully burned butt and a new potential issue. I found some small lumps near the area where I have Paget's and had them biopsied yesterday. I am desperately hoping that they are benign! All my treatments are based on the belief that we are targetting ALL the cancer. A new cancer would throw a total wrench into things. I am trying my best to stay calm until the biopsy results come in on Monday. 

The good news is that I seem to have adjusted to the (chemo) Xeloda. No blisters in mouth, hands or feet, and no more horrible heartburn. I am hoping the next 3.5 weeks follow suit. 

I am really looking forward to visits and walks with friends this weekend and to enjoying the delicious-looking Jewish chicken soup that David made me yesterday.

Thank you everyone for checking in and offering food, visits, insights, and good humor. It is a long dark month but each one of you helps to make it that much brighter!

xoxo!
