Thank you to everyone for your comments and support of my blog!
So far so good! The doctor called this morning and said the hormone test came back 'hormone receptor positive' which means it is the kind that doesn't need chemo! YEA!!!!!
Chemo is not completely off the recommended treatments yet. She is still waiting on the HER2 test results (this is news to me...I thought we were only waiting on the hormone test.) If the HER2 test is normal or negative then they will suggest Temaxofin, if it is overexpressed they recommend Herceptin which is a form of chemo. I haven't read up about these drugs yet but I will. I have seen the names in some of the info they gave me in the "cancer cruise" folder.
I will post more on the "cancer cruise" folder later, it is quite funny, but only if you choose to look at it that way!
Speaking of funny...yes, I plan to incorporate lots of laughter into my life. I instinctively felt I needed more funny stuff in my life the first day I found out about this cancer trip! My aunt Glenda who has suffered greatly with her health this summer, said she felt the same way when she got home from the hospital. Unfortunately, TV land is in a genre of reality TV consisting of a lot of shows about selfish bitches who have no grasp on reality, or shows of competition (you guys know I hate competition, I want everyone to win!), and shows about crime scenes. It is nearly impossible to find just good ole, laugh out loud TV. Two and Half Men is funny but they cross boundaries that I cringe about being on TV. I love Wanda Sykes and would love to watch her HBO special, but I don't have HBO and don't think I want to get it just for that, but if anyone out there has HBO and offers for me to come watch it with them I would love that! I love My Name is Earl. I love that there is no laugh track therefore you either get the joke or you don't. Of course, they canceled the show but it is still on reruns. If anyone has suggestions of funny shows please let me know.
Thankfully I have a client this afternoon at 2pm til 5pm. I need to work. It helps me keep some 'normal' in my life, plus there are still bills to be paid, and I always love working with people, it fuels my soul. So, if you are one of my clients, don't put off scheduling with me cause you think I am sick...we will work together to find the right time for both of us!
My dad called last night he will be here sometime today.
I am sitting here with wet hair and nails that need polished so I am signing off for now. I have so much more to share with you but will have to do that later!
Love to all!!!

Not sure if you can watch TV during the day or if you have a way to record shows, but I would recommend Ellen DeGeneres. Her show is upbeat, funny, and usually includes everybody in the audience getting presents and prizes, so you can't help but feel good when you watch. Weekdays at 3:00 PM on WESH 2.
ReplyDeleteDear Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteFor the first time in my life I'm speachless. I know you find that hard to believe lol, well that and the fact that everytime I tried to type you a note it was all blurry, yep tears. I love you my friend, you are such an inspiration to me and you are on my most admired list, and least deserving of this.I feel selfish for complaining about nilly willy stuff when you have the big problems. You are strong and beautiful and determined and I know everythings going to be alright. I read the other posts and you have so many nice people that love you. The blog is a great Idea, and I miss you as I dont see you that often lately.
I will have to agree whole heartedly that Ellen always makes me laugh. I also love reruns of who's line is it anyways. Sometimes utube is an easy fix when there's nothing on.
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping us updated with this blog
I am so happy to hear the good news about the hormone test.
We'll keep praying and you keep laughing.
Lots of Love
Jay, Heidi, Hunter, and Sawyer
