A new Adventure

Image
I am starting a new adventure in my life. I have been diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It is in my pancreas and liver. I have been getting to take many tests; like CT Scan, biopsy, MRI, PET, and MUGA. I feel like a pin cushion. I have had radio active sugar water put in me and then waited an hour to take glowing pictures. I didn't glow anywhere I wasn't expecting to so that is good. Yesterday they took some of my blood and put radio active stuff in it then put it back in me. I only needed a 20 minute rest. Before they took pictures of my blood pumping through my heart. While I waited my grandson Adam called. He made the wait fly by. Today I get to have a port put in so they can give me chemo. For this test I can't drive myself home so Val is coming with me. This is the one that makes it all seem real. One never wants to have stage 4 cancer. It has come on so gradual always giving information out a little at a time. So the adventure begins. Fight this cance...

Visiting Pumpkin Patch

Before Val and I went to India we had to have our fun fall festivities with the grand-kids. We took them to Jackers in Springville and had a blast.  We buried each other in the corn. There was corn all over the place.   We slid down slides, had a wild hay ride in the mud, had yummy donuts, and got lost in a hay bale maze.

New Normal

Image
I am in India with Val.  On Sunday walking down the steps Val noticed I wasn't holding on to the rail. It's my new Normal! I hadn't noticed, six months ago I was holding on and now I am getting use to my new normal. Our move to Utah has kept me busy to say the least.  We have settled into Val's dad's home while waiting to be able to move into our home on December 1st.  I get to be in India for two week this will help the time fly before moving into our home. It is good to see all the friends old and new that I have met here. Before Val went to India I went to the Huntsman Cancer Center and met with the doctors and staff  there.  They are really nice and I will be in good hands with them.  I also met my local oncologist and will be getting my shot and port flushed there.  They are located at the Utah Valley Hospital so I don't have to drive to Salt Lake City each month. My health is great, I am stable and getting back my strength.  It is not...
