Watching Andy of Mayberry

These are such great old shows. How did Opie lose all that hair? Whoever thought of TIVO or DVR was brilliant. I can record these and watch them while I am up in the middle of the night. I am enjoying the comments on my blog. Thanks friends

Hazy Day in West Palm

Wendie and I went over to Dreher Park Zoo to walk around this morning. I was tired after about 10 minutes but it felt good to get out of the house. That place is overrun with iguanas!
Am set up for a mugascan on my heart on Monday. It is another nuclear test they are doing on me. I think it is to make sure my heart is strong enough for the chemo. My heart has made it through 3 surgeries in 3 weeks. My guess is I have no heart issues. I do have a question though. Karyn and Tyler will be coming down tomorrow and staying for a few days. Do they need to stay away from me after I get shot up with the nuclear concoction? After my PET scan they told me to stay away from pregnant women and babies for 24 hours. Anyone in blogland know this answer?

Hello friends

Thanks Susan for setting this blog up for me. Thanks for every ones prayers and concerns for me. I am VERY appreciative of you all. I had my 3rd surgery Monday. They put in my chemo port and took out some more nodes. I think they were called subclavical nodes. I am quite sore but well drugged. Went to the Oncologist yesterday (Caldera) and got the results from my oncotype tests they did a couple of weeks ago. It turns out the cancer is called a triple negative breast cancer. This means it is not from estrogen, progesterone or HER2. It is an aggressive cancer so they will be treating it aggressively. Wednesday Nov 18Th is my first chemo treatment and I will be having one every 3 weeks for a total of 8 treatments.
I am very open to people knowing what is going on but to repeat the same thing time and time again is exhausting and it is hard to keep a positive focus when I am explaining the whole negative stuff over and over. So hopefully this blog will keep everyone up to the minute and we can all just focus on me getting well and living a positive life.
Thank you to all who have been keeping Tom and myself in prayer. God is great and we will all get through this and the glory will be His.

HI!

Thanks for joining us on Leslie's new blog. I have set this up so Leslie or who ever can post the updates on her healing. This way we all can keep up with what is going on and she won't have to repeat herself ten times in an hour. Have a blessed day! Susan
