Good Bday




I had a good 28th Bday on Jan 28. The weekend prior I went to lunch with some friends and then the girls went to see a Chic Flick - Katherine's Heigl's 27 Dresses. It was so cute! Afterwards we went to Newport Coast and spent the night with my BF from HS and her family. Her husband just installed a 100 inch TV ( projector/TV combo) so most of Sunday was spent watching movies. My favorite was The Namesake. Then on my real B-Day my mom took me to the Dentist for a consultation to get my Mercury fillings removed. Fun, huh! And that evening I took a little nap and Noureddin made dinner. I was craving Z Pizza and salad so I ordered pepperoni , pineapple and black olives pizza and a pear and gorgonzola salad. I thought that the pork based pepperoni would scare away Noureddin and his Muslim compatriots, but it didn't. Our Moroccan friends and their wives came over a little later in the evening and brought cake and gifts. It was a nice B-Day.

Sorry I haven't written in a while. Truth is I couldn't remember my email and password combo. I have so many different passwords and this website made me create another email account with Gmail. Things haven't been great, but they could be worse. The November MRI showed No change so I continued with the Chemo protocol. I was wasting away: no appetite & extreme fatigue, so my Dad and step mom sent me to Sterling Heights, Michigan for some alternative treatment by a Ki Master. I went 2 different times and then some of the master's students came to my home to treat me when I returned to LB. It worked really well and I was able to finish the 2nd round of Chemo. Unfortunately the latest MRI on Jan 22 showed a new baby tumor and again no reduction of the big tumor. So I have now stopped chemo through KP and am being considered for Clinical Trials. I get a PET Scan today which should show more of the anatomy of the new tumor. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's were good. Though with this looming over my shoulders I hardly feel like celebrating.
