:::HEALTH UPDATE::: I found out the other day that my cancer is 90% in my stomach and 10% in my esophagus (Gastric) and that it is stage 3 according to my PET scan. I will start chemo Monday for sure and had my chemo class yesterday. I have a 3 hr. round every 3 weeks and a pump that will be attached to me through my port while at home running 24/7 and have to change chemo bag weekly...I am very scared of that part. But I am soooo ready to fight to beat this! My only concern is that I am already so weak and nauseous ...I need to keep up my white blood count! If I am not getting enough nutrition they say I will not be able to get my treatment on the scheduled day. This is the HARDEST thing that I have ever delt with. I have compared stories from other cancer patients and their stories sound a lil better than mine. Between my gallbladder and not being able to eat hardly and almost not able to get even liquids down . If this continues they will be putting a feeding tube in. Another surgery..Blechhh..and it cannot go into my stomach they said because of the cancer...it will have to go into the small bowel. Please wish me luck guys ...I so need it! I want to thank all my supporters and people that have contributed to my cancer fund. This is my last week that I will be able to work for a while and every little bit helps me. A HUGE sincere THANK YOU!!! Love you guys and keep on lurking!
