I am so glad. Have a wonderful evening!
Cheers Joyce; Well now that you can see to Seattle I guess you are going to gloat, and so you should. It must be heaven to finally see things that were not clear before. Never having had a cataract not sure what happens. Anyway now that this is over, you can relax and start reading your favourite books. Take care. Weezie

So glad to hear it went well. happy healing!

Hi Joyce,
Thank you for responding to my latest posting. I feel bad for not getting back to blogging after the last ultrasound I had. I think that after I had surgery to remove the lump I found, I decided I didn’t want to think about cancer anymore. The lump turned out to be some fibrous tissue which grew over a stitch. It was not palpable until a year after my surgery! It was pretty scary. The doctor removed it and had it tested to be sure. Test results came back fine. I was so happy and felt hugely relieved. I am sorry to hear you had to remove your other breast. Cancer will never leave – I know. It’s a sad fact that we all must adjust to sooner or later. I also hope you are having a smooth recovery from your recent cataract surgery! Take care.
Hi Joyce,
Thank you for your kinds words. Well here is what’s happing My test results came back with the tumors still there back in June. My tumor markers have been up and down since one showed they were in active then they came back active again, so last week my Dr. and I decided to go another round of chemo with the Xeloda. note: the way it should of been in the beginning but thanks to the ins. company it didn’t work that way. It took 2 months for me to get the Xeloda.. Well now I have them and we will start the process over on July 28th.
I sure hope this works. I feel good and much stronger so I hope it will go well this time.
I am glad things are better for you. post a blog later just need to get my head around this again .
Take Care and always in my prayers
Cheryl59 Yep I had a birthday in July hey I made another year :-)
Dear Joyce,
I am really sorry to read that you are having difficulty with your eyes. I know that having a computer to communicate with everyone is nice and when your vision is affected it makes it really difficult. Thank you for your very kind words regarding my great news of my bone marrow biopsy. I feel so blessed and I am going to enjoy the ride as long as it lasts. I have to get weekly CBC’S and so far they have been great. I just love all of your pictures of your family that you have posted. You are very blessed. Take Care and we’ll stay in touch. Hugs & Prayers, Love, Patty
You really are a sweetheart and true inspiration. I think adversity somehow brings out the strength people. Your cataract operation was probably not fun but in light of all you’ve been through it was probably not too bad in comparison. My most difficult time was this past year and a half. It conversely has made me stronger as well. Since April of 2007, i’ve lost my father, my dog, my uncle, had cancer, 2 surgeries, radiation lost my mother in the middle of the treatment, and now am recuperating. I’ve weathered the storm and am grateful to God for the blessings that i have.
God bless you and your family!
I just wanted to thank you for your support and prayers. They are much appreciated.
Sorry about all your recent losses….must be tough.
Hugs,
Betty
