Horrible news yesterday, grand niece in Texas got covid. She went into cardiac arrest and is now on ventilator. She turns 1 on Jan 1st. I’m heartbroken and can only pray she comes out of this.

We’ve been in a bit of shock since seeing my Onc. CT scan far worse than I could ever imagine, altho the pain issues are now understandable. After 16 yrs(and w w/mets), I have 1 - 3 months left. I’m numb.

10/22/07 I found out I had cancer. In the past 16 yrs, I have endured more injections, pills, infusions, and transfusions, then I could possibly count. I have been lucky to have endured this long with this horrific disease. And yet, have been so damaged by it all. 🧵

Home after CT. Strangely not stressing because I already know it’s going to be bad. Just how bad I’ll find out Thursday. Already scheduled to start doxil. Pissed that my hair was just looking good. But I’ll do it to stay alive for a little longer. #4Xbald #MBC

15 yrs ago today I heard the words “you have cancer”. I sometimes wonder what my life would be like, but I’m mostly grateful for the life I do have. It’s hard, but so worth it. For now anyway.

Good visit with Onc today. Scan looked ok to him. Yes, I have cancer active in several places, but holding steady. Bones only. Staying the course, no new treatment. Today is a good day.

I am surrounded by love. In the last few weeks, I realize that I have no last minute apologies to make. My love for them has always been know. To love and be loved in return is the true purpose of life, and and in that respect I am at peace. But I’m still pissed off at dying.
