I went to the dr. And.... Well let's start out with Halloween first. I did not want to answer the door and touch so many kids with my compromised immune system. It was killing me not to see the wee ones. Sooo I put Ridley in a pumpkin outfit. He looked at me with tortured eyes and would not move. He hated it. I had a sparkly Elvis in Vegas jumpsuit and I put that on him and he felt frisky. We took a stroll around the block and he strutted and barked but when little kids came up he got quiet. They exclaimed,"the king!" what was great was some real little boys ran up to pet him. He is so soft and the moms were like," this is great my son is afraid of dogs and he actually petted yours. This is the first dog he has touched. That happened twice! Ya gotta love a schnauzer.
Ok back to the nitty gritty. I went to the dr. you guys know how wound up I was. He came in and told me the new drug which I promptly forgot. He is presenting my case at tumor board on Friday and hopefully we will be a go next week. I asked him about the success rate of this new drug and how I thought we had used up good options. He said your last drug was only a 25% success rate and you rocked it. You are just one of those people. He also said he was so pleased and amazed how much my tumors had shrunk. so, one day at a time. I have to get cat scans etc... I am going to try and do yard work today. May cook something special.
Went to southern art last night the new restaurant in the old pied de cochon spot. Not ba. Nouveau gourmet southern with a twist. I just think I like old southern the best. Maybe because I am a good cook. They had some nice charcuterie and some flavorful dishes, I think Bonnie's pork chop might have been the best. It was spicy with spiced pig ear on it. Not sure if I would
go back or not.my taste has gotten so picky with chemo. I have finally figured out what it is. I smell things more intensely but I can taste each individual item in things as opposed to all the favors marrying together... Sometimes... And it freaks me out.
Ok I am really babbling here, I have consumed too much of the life giving bean...peace
So glad to hear so many good things... Am still out here cheering you on!!!
ReplyDelete...he just stated the obvious you do Rock and will continue to do so ....
ReplyDeleteSounds like an overall good checkup. Keep us posted when you start on the new drug. In the meantime, know that it's therapeutic to pet a puppy (as the kids who petted Rid will tell you) so hold your little furry friend close and feel better. As usual sending prayers and hugs to both you and Rid!
