I have not posted for a while, who ever said life gets in the way of other plans was right.  I have been involved in several health issues, luckily not my cancer-at least not as of today.  Sometimes it feels like all I do is run from doctor to doctor and test to test-I finally could not attempt to coordinate this myself, so I found a new primary care doctor.  She is fabulous, I knew right away I liked her, but she has exceeded any expectations I had about a new doctor.  She is busy studying my records, talking to my specialist, calling to check on me and putting together a plan for my healthcare.  It has truly made me feel like a weight has been lifted. 

Many other things have happened since my last post.  On June 5th we celebrated my son, Robby’s 29th birthday-so far he has exceeded his life expectancy by 13 years.  Every year on his birthday I am grateful for the gift of another year with him.  Good news-I get another three months of no chemo!!!!   

My anxiety has been ok amazingly enough, stress….well that’s another story.  When I saw my new primary care doctor she asked me a lot of questions, one being about if I get depressed-I told her no, I do get overwhelmed.  And that is where I find myself most of the time right now.  My health issues are just part of my life, there is also my son, taking care of the house, coordinating some repairs, going through generations of stuff that has ended up with me and making decisions like whether or not to move.  I can’t even keep the yard watered.  But after being mad at myself for not being able to get everything done, I have decided to try to just do my best.  After all, that’s really all I can do anyway!!
