\nI received an update on Marilyn’s status this morning and it is not good. She has been diagnosed with leukemia and another condition. She will need our prayers to pull her out of this so lets all pray to whom ever we pray to.<\/p>\n

I do try to sit in the chair most of the day, whether asleep or awake, per orders of the cardiologist. I get very scared at night, so Charlie is still sleeping here with me. Don’t know what I would do without him. Thank goodness he is healthy right now. He also brings me ice and drinks, which would take the aides forever.<\/p>\n \tHappy Birthday Bobby.

On Sunday I begin the consolidation phase, where I will be admittted for 6 days to receive more chemo. This cycle will be repeated for 3 times. However, if the cycle interferes with the holidays, I might delay a cycle for a week.<\/p>\n \tI am working towards going to AC in March. However, the doctor also said that those who do very well during the induction phase, as I did, usually feel very short of breath and fatigued for many many months.<\/p>\n \tSo please keep the prayers coming that I stay in remission. I firmly believe that my GTC family has helped enormously, just as you did when Sandtrap was in hospital. I love you all, and hope to see some of you soon.<\/p>\n \tGoddess \ud83d\ude00<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> The WoW Man on October 22, 2014, 2:37 pm<\/p>\n \tCatch you later!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> DoughBoy on October 22, 2014, 6:31 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Chevy on October 23, 2014, 12:58 am<\/p>\n \tChevy<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Dice Pilot on October 23, 2014, 5:29 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Skinny on October 23, 2014, 5:45 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Mr Finesse on November 15, 2014, 5:47 pm<\/p>\n \tGreat GOOD News:<\/p>\n \t Nov 14 at 7:16 PM <\/p>\n \n\tToday is 2 weeks from my last chemo. I have been going to the cancer clinic 3 times a week for labs and transfusions each time. Today I was told that all my blood counts are up, and I didn’t need any transfusions today.<\/p>\n \tNot only that, but I only have to go once next week for labs. AND, I have been given the total week of Thanksgiving off! I am ecstatic!<\/p>\n \tI will be admitted to the hospital 12\/1 for the 2nd week of chemo in the consolidation phase, and will be home on Saturday. Since chemo reaches its height in the body 7-10 days after the last dose, I expect not to feel to well the following week, but that’s ok. The docs say I am doing very well.<\/p>\n \tMarilyn<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> OneMoonCircles on November 16, 2014, 6:26 am<\/p>\n \tOneMoonCircles<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> TommyC on November 17, 2014, 2:41 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Little Debbie on November 17, 2014, 5:20 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Louis on December 2, 2014, 2:00 am<\/p>\n \tI am so glad to hear some good news.

How many is dependent on how I accept each cycle; that is how sick I get. Also, how my blood counts do as far as returing close to normal and how quickly. <\/p>\n \tWe had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my daughter and her family from MA, cousins, and 2 of Charlie’s children and their children.
