So lots has happened I met with my doctor at women's and infants a top In ovarian cancer and The surgery. Surgery is The first week OF September it will be laparoscopic unless cancer the it will change to normal surgery and I will have all My female parts removed in there. .

Hey look the got a bell at the infusion center to ring when done treatment.

This week was full of appointments for US both I had a check up so my family doc could sign that I was healthy enough for surgery. I also had another port flush I can't wait to finally get this port removed. Also This week Jonathan had his yearly check up and he had an appointment with his doc that did his surgery for a-check. So it was a very busy week. 

We have been on ww for a couple Mo now and doing very well losing Weight. 

 Still missing our Basset Barnaby I still cry so often. 

Lets see what else The Covid issue is happening again some stares have full hospitals kids units full. I feel so sad for the children under twelve who cont get the vaccines. And because so many miss-informed adults not getting vaccinated and hurting these kids. We also now because of those Who chose not to get vaccinated May need to get boosters. When people . Try

And claim beliefs or that you tube is smarter than docs and scientists I think OF This story of '

 The Drowning Man 

 

A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.

Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you."

The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."

So the rowboat went on.

Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you."

To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the motorboat went on.

Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety."

To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.

Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!"

To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?" (Truthbook.com)

Get vaccinated! God gave you doctors, scientists, and a vaccine, don't be standing at Heaven's gate asking why.

Jonathan surgery and barnaby passed away.

 The first week of July sucked was so sad and upsetting and even scary.

not only have I been told I need surgery very soon on my ovaries for the cyst that seems to be growing fast

but my wonderful furbaby Barnaby my basset hound my friend my support dog died from liver cancer I sat with him for days keeping him comfortable he hated going to the vets so like my other pets in the past he died at home with me and my husband with him I petting his side. still crying even now I am having a horrible time with this it was too soon for him and unfair he was 9 years old. also the night he died my husband was rushed to the hospital by ambulance for his hernia that went beyond strangulated he had emergency surgery. so crazy how so much can happen at once. 

As most know I have anxiety issues, so it was sooooo hard for me to get an uber and get to the hospital to see my husband but guess what I did it, I needed to vomit when I got to the hospital but I did it, and even found his room yay for me well-considering everything yes yay for me. 

I had a hard few days alone at home missing Barnaby and my husband I cleaned the house from top to bottom trying to stay busy and fix up an area for Jonathan to recoup in the living room. Staying busy does really help. 

Even though it is hard to see the wonderful some days I do feel blessed that my husband is alive for one and he is home now and taking care of him has been easy and full of love, he is up and around the last couple of days doing stuff on his own just no heavy lifting. and Barnaby was with me through so much including cancer chemo and covid isolation I feel blessed again so thankful I had him the years I did I just wish it was longer I will miss the laughter he brought his clever sneaking his counter surfing, his barking at the mailwomen, his laying with me as I pet his head, god I miss him but I know he is at the rainbow bridge and out of pain. thank you, god for the time I had.

 

Baranby and me -his last day holding back tears as I write now I will miss you so much dear friend.

Update cancer, end June 2021

 Well another update I do not think I have been this depressed in years even when I first heard of my follicular lymphoma. It is hard today to say I wont give up but I am close. We heard today what I thought we would hear I need immediate surgery on the growth on my overies we wont know if it is cancer until it is out but tests so far do not look good cancer markers in my blood are up and certain markers in ultra sound but until it is out and tested we wont know if cancer or even what stage of cancer I have a feeling it might be a stage 2 but praying it is not cancer at all and also praying it is not stage 3 or 4.

Like I said I haven’t been this depressed in a long time spacing out limp body exhausted sad I think it is because my cancer journey is still just beginning i see so many sad stories I don’t want to be that sad story but i fear i will be. Crying now as I write also my Basset is dying he has liver cancer and today is at the stop eating stage of his down hill fall the vet says he is not in pain i am so happy for that I also hope he can die at home like my other pets in the past  and not at the place he hates so much to visit our vet is great but he just hates going so much.

He was a big help to me when i went through chemo with my lymphoma it will be hard this time without him i think all the sadness of his dying and i needing surgery for this now softball in my gut that might be cancer just has taken over my spirit it seemsI hope in the days to come I can take some deep breaths and get back my happiness and hope. And snap out of this depression.

Well folks that’s it for today i will write again soon.

Help educate so we can cure disease free collage please

 can I be frank? of corse i can th''is is my blog :)

I get so upset when people poo poo free education free collage what the heck is wrong with folks?

or that people think dreamers shouldnt be able to go to collage what the or how about people from other countries living here ok ok why am I upset here it is.

I have cancer all right you all know that. well my oncolagiyst that cured me putiing me into remission waasnt born in america he was one of the best oncoligists in New England USA he has gone on to a bigger city and now I have another oncologist again not originaly from this country so what the heck are all of you complaining about. so if you can not make it easier for american kids to get into collage like make it free do not complain about them coming from elsewhere. we need to help our poor schools with hungry kids latch key kids kids raised by single moms many poor kids are smart and maybe one of those you refused an education could have been a scientist that cured cancer years back or alzimers the more we have working on this stuff the better. so stop saying no free education that is just the most foolish thing I ever heard god gives us doctors nurses and scientists but only if we alow them to get educated free to do so be greatful not hateful.

The 28th of May is Blood Cancer Awareness day. I have blood cancer which is in remission for now. I will likely see a reoccurrence or 2 in my life, but I pray not. It is called follicular lymphoma and we need a cure for blood cancer. So many suffer from lymphomas and leukemia. Please help with research now, but if you can't afford a donation please help me spread the word, hugs and thank you

WW 1st day

 aww weight Watches it is about time I could say to both my husband and myself what is difficult it seems is getting us both on the same page as far as dieting, I think being older and now I may need surgery and being overweight puts me at high risk of dying made us both think what the hell are we doing we need to stop this nonsense and lose weight.

we both struggled our entire lives we are the types with that awful motabilizim that we look at a cake and we gain weight, we really have to work hard at losing weight and keeping it off.

weight watchers is not new to me at all, I remember mom having me join with her when I was in 5th grade being the youngest in our area group my uncle was one of the leaders of the group that we attended live because at that time we were still using dial phones and not computers or smartphones and tablets.

We met in a room at the ramada inn or at meeting halls we did a weigh-in when we arrived then listened to a speaker got recipes and the List what list well they read off with congratulations on how much each person lost that week and if you gained saying let's lend some extra ideas and support to those who gained meaning to a 5th grader be embarrassed for this shameful thing. 

I did lose a lot of weight to my goal doing this by eating fish until it came out my eyes, and Skinless chicken coming out my ears, and seeing as I hated cooked vegetables I ate salads lets see oh yes until in came out my nose lol. But I went to middle school 6th grade fit and thin. It didn't last I slowly gained it all back starting in my 7th-grade year. I rejoined weight watchers with mom. For a bit but I couldn't take how it made me feel I was depressed a lot. And started having more anxiety stacks so I quit.

I did lose weight another time but it was so wrong I became an anorexic lost weight fast using laxative and starvation my mom also became one well before I did I guess I practiced what I learned, I lost weight fast but almost killed myself, and yes over a long stretch I gained it back plus some.

So here we are,  most programs are too expensive for us to join as a couple with different dietary needs so I found weight watchers once again we will thank the late-night show with James for that. It looks so much better than before I knew it would be but how much well seems to be a lot. That is just by first glance anyway.

Today is day one so far so good with this pretty cool point system. Well I just wanted to report our starting date more to come with updates fingers crossed we do well as a team. Hugs everyone.
