I'm back........I went to the doctor last Friday and I am going to keep taking chemo (Avastin only) until the end of Feb. when I will have another PET scan done. He did not say what would happen if I am responding, but if I'm not responding, I will probably go on a new regiment because I can't go back on Taxol or my neuropathy would get really bad. We'll see how I have responded when that time comes.
I have been feeling great! This week no one poked me--no shots, no chemo and no blood draws. I had an appt. with the guy who made my beautiful brace (lol) today and he made some minor adjustments to make me walk better. I see the Orthopedic doctor on Friday but he is just going to check my gate (medical term for "walk") and my strength. I went to my last phys. therapy this morning and now I have to keep doing my strengthening exercises on my own. I am fortunate to have a gym at work so I can keep up with all of them. I just have neuropathy at the tips of all my fingers and toes. Overall, I have had much more stamina in a day. I actually come home from work later and I get some household chores done too, before I land in my chair for the evening. Thank you for your prayers and everything--I am definitely feeling very well. I know God is not done using me!!!

Hey Jana:
ReplyDeleteI can finally say that I met the famous Jana. And let me tell you all......she looks wonderful! Her spirits are high! Her energy level was fantastic! Her smile was bright. And her brace isn't obvious to the descriminating eye but helps tremendously! Your prayers and God's blessings have been working miraculously! Amen, Amen!
All the adversity in her life has not taken away the glow on her face or the sparkle in her smile. God is Great!
We all continue to pray for your healing and strength and praise God for all His help. Love Betty and the NY Gang!
