So I Leave On The 14th ...
Yup I will be gone from the 14-18 ...
I have my injection on the 15th at noon then I go back on the 16th for my scaning. That is all that this treatment is -this- time ... I come home on the 18 and from the 15 to the 25th or so I am not allowed to be around children under 12 and pregnant women. Why you ask? Well because the injection they give me is a radioactive goop that can damage the thyriod and in children and pregnant ladies it is more so damaging. [so you wont see me then i will be a hermit?] After that first 10 days or so, of puking and feel like shit I will then start my "up" stage ... I will still not be going out a lot because my white blood cells will be low ... [much slower at rising then after chemo] ... so by about the end of the first wk of feb I should be ok to go out again ... [just in time for aqua boogie] I will have to take it easy tho ... Then by about the 21st of feb I should be doing really okie dokie ... Then a few weeks later I get to go and do it all over again ... For those that are interested I am having what they calle MIBG Thearpy ... I have a fair bit of info if anyone is interested. Yup that is my story ... for now. And in compairison from the scan in march [03] to the one I had in oct [03] there was less [which is good] intake of the goop. So that means that the chemo has been working, slowly, but working non-the-less. * Allie

thanks.
it's hard as hell, esp when there isn't much research done on the kind i have .. it's like i'm the research most of the time. honestly im really scared ... i donut like it, somedays i stay in bed the whole day and pretend im someone else ... other days i feel like im top of the world ... i have a feeling that i may being having less of the on top of the world days ... for the next while ... but staying strong is what wins in the end ... without the support i have from my family, i know i couldn't do it ... remember it's all about the people around ... one thing is for sure ... i sure know who my actual friends are now ... not just a phone full of random raver numbers ... blah, i ramble a lot

Good luck Allie.... while I can't say I know what YOU'RE going through I can definitely understand what it's like. The battle can be long and hard but we just have to keep fighting it. In the end we'll both win and we'll have like a duo party!!! It'll be the biggest, most happiest party EVAR!!!
Keep your head up girl, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Much love... :kimmie:
