Hi and I hope everybody has a happy Thanksgiving!
I have been very neglectful keeping up with my blog, I know shame on me.
Not too much has been happening. Living in Nashville and still looking for a job there. Anyone out in cyber land know of any admin work in the Nashville area?
Spending turkey day with the fam down in Mississippi. Uncle was diagnosed with colon cancer and after his surgery they said they got it all. He'll meet with an oncologist to follow up. My great aunt just was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and has surgery tomorrow. Prayers being sent to her. I guess she didn't feel well for a long time but never wanted to go to the doctor.
Last CT scan in October was good. This new oncologist here in Nashville, likes just CT scans vs Pet and CT scans. Took a first PET scan with them in July i guess it was along with a CT scan,says if a CT scan comes up any different from the previous one then he'd order a PET along with it.
Some fun events coming up this December, Nutcraker, Mame, Holly Trolly light thing so should be a fun filled month!!
I'd also like to say I am thankful for my family, friends, health, docs (old and new!). oh and unemployment!!! ;)
happy turkey day y'all and take care

It's been awhile!
Hi there from Nashville, TN!
I realize it has been quite a long time since I've posted anything on here! But things got a little crazy for a bit, but not health related...whoohoo!
Let's see, I was getting very tired of living in NY and wanted to leave. At the same time, I also new that my position at the company I worked for was also going to be eliminated, they just weren't giving a time frame. Well come the end of this past March, my lease on my apartment was also up. I talked to some people at work and it all worked out that at the same time, my final day at that company was March 25th and I got to leave with a nice package. So no more job and soon to be no more apartment, my roommate and I packed up, and she went her way and I went off to Nashville, TN. j
So here I am in Nashville, TN , no job yet, but enjoying the grass and trees much more than the concrete jungle. Anyone reading have any job leads for an administrative assistant type role in Nashville?!
On the medical front, my last Petscan came back ok. There was slight activity in Waldeyer's Ring, but is read as physiologic to my age and my doc didn't seem too conscerened about it. Also was starting a cold/sore throat at the same time as those scans. So now I'm moved and through a recommendation have found a new doc to go to. The problme was trying to get originaly biopsy slides sent to his office from NY. I had hand delivered all the scan results and cd's and forms that my former onc had given me but this guy wanted actual slides. who knew!? So i call the pathology dept and go round with different people who say i can only fax over a request but need their form and they can only fax it. But they would mail it and accept a signed letter asking for the slides. I fax it, a few days later, they still never received it. Speak to someone else who then tells me oh yeah I can email you the form and you can email it back. Well why couldn't those other people have told me the same thing..,,because i did ask them that very questions. Anyways, i got it all filled out and scanned in (after problems with my scanner of course lol) and finally they received it and sent everything out. I have my first appt with the new onc this coming Tuesday. I was told by someone who used to work in the office that there's a possiblity they might want to do another bone biopsy, which does not thrill be at all and I can't really see the reason why if I wouldn't have one if I never moved and stayed with my other onc. So I hope they don't!!! I just hope for the regular blood work and scans.
Other than that, I'm off to the Gulf Coast for a couple of weeks to visit my family. So that should be fun.
Hope everyone is in good health and even better spirits!!
