I have started my new chemo regimen. This is my week of no lab & no chemo. Next Monday Bruce & I both have lab drawn. Bruce will see his doctor later in the week & I have chemo on Wednesday. Since next week will be the start of cycle #2 I will be having my CA 125 checked. Hopefully it will have dropped significantly. If it doesn't then I may have a change in my chemo regimen again.
Bruce has not had any chemo or radiation as his scans don't show any cancer but his CEA is continuing to increase. He doesn't say much. With both of us having cancer it makes it hard to plan anything. At least it's nice not having to think about working but now I have no income coming in. I have applied for social security disability which could take 3-6 months. We do have money saved & will start tapping into it if necessary. I can no longer just buy whatever I want.
I also gave one of my horses up for adoption. Valee is a beautiful appaloosa that I got about 2 years ago to ride. She wasn't getting exercised & I couldn't see that changing anytime soon. I gave her to the Ritz Horserescue, who promise to find her a good forever home. I still have my 3 minis whom I can drive. I have had them since they each were 6 months old so I am not ready to part with them yet. They & my two grandsons as well as another grandchild due in November give us a good reason to keep fighting.
