Thank you.  Tears of sadness.  Tired from chemo.

Mostly I miss my dad.

My mom and I are just getting along so well.  I finally see some vulnerability in her.  I have never seen it before.  She NEEDS our help.  She is taking our help.  She was very unemotional......numb I think.....

We are sad......pure and simple!

today was pretty much an all day chemo day.  I cannot sleep because they pumped me up with steroids so I would not have an allergic reaction.  No fun at all!

Well, on Friday I was supposed to go in for the start of my fourth and last round of chemo.  Problem was I usually feel so good my third week in the round but after round three I was worse.  I slept for days.  I couldn't breathe.  I laid in bed because going down the stairs and back up took it out of me.

So I went in Friday and said to the nurse.  You are not giving me this chemo until you find out what is wrong with me.  I cannot breathe.

So the doc first suggested I have a blood clot.  They sent me over to the hospital and did a contrast CT scan.  They found that the chemo drugs were so toxic that I developed Pulmonary Toxicity.  Glass like crystals were forming in my lungs and making it hard to breathe.  Good thing I didn't go in and keep my mouth shut.  I could have died.

He immediately discontinued all chemo and put me on steroids.  I am now on day 5.  Although I am not 100% I feel so much better.  My 50th birthday is Friday and I am excited to NOT be lying in bed......

I cannot believe you are going through this. You have so much life and vivacity and to be laid this low is pitiful. I am so sorry. It was good that you were assertive about the breathing. My God, what would have happened if you hadn't.

Thank you all.  I just finished the five days of 80 mil of prednisone.  Today I start five days of six tablets.  I do feel so much better.  I cannot wait until I feel 100%.

We are going to Outback Steakhouse on Friday for my 50th.  That will be so yummy and fun to get out after laying in bed for three months!!

Hi OC

Happy 50th, Kelly! Goodness, you could be my daughter!

Thank God you spoke up! We have to or else some things we'll never know. (See my post about no hip)

I've heard that the treatment can be as bad as the disease, but the treatment is necessary.

Hang in there kiddo

Love
Izzy
