December 7, 200520 yr the trouble is over right? :( I'm sorry it took so long. When will you be back to normal? :( well... not really sure... they had to take out a LOT of my lymph nodes under both arms, which has caused some really bad problems with swelling and the circulation in my arms. that is why i have to be so careful about how long i stay in one position, and i have to elevate my arms a lot of the time. that part should get better as my body compensates. they are still trying to decide the next step. my doc wanted me to start a run of chemo the first of january, but all the cancer docs say no, that i can't take it because i don't weigh enough... etc. so now directed radiation therapy is being considered. it has been much more painful than i expected... and a lot harder than i expected. but i feel like i am seeing the end of the tunnel - today is the first day i haven't needed so much pain medicine and have felt like myself. been up and about quite a lot sort of helping decorate my tree, etc. feeling alive again. i missed you eric

I wish it was a lot simpler. That seems a lot longer than I expected. I wish there was some way I could help, obviously/unfortunately there's nothing I can think of. Right now I'm just glad to be talking to you again. Take your time and don't hurt yourself doing anything. I missed you so much when you were gone. ah, I was going to ask you some more questions, but I don't think you're in good shape, it would be better if I didn't but I'm so glad you're back. :D
December 7, 200520 yr thank you sweetie. i will be ok. just going to take some time... don't worry, alright?? i have to go back and lay down again, but i will check in with you all tomorrow. love and big hugs to you snugs!! everyone... be good and i will check in soon. ;)
