So i def. have been MIA for quite sometime, and i am deeply sorry... Things got a little rough... So i will do a really quick update... I got e coli and was hospitalized for a week.. come to find out my chemo caused the ecoli... still continued the chemo.. a month later ended up having a bacterial blood infection caused by my port, had my port removed... and a new one placed.... come to find out the chemo is no longer working... and so today i signed papers to do this clinical trial chemo in hopes that it will shrink the tumors, or stop the growth of the tumors.. It hasnt been tested on humans just been tested in the labs... so we will see how this works for 2months and if nessecary we have one more option... and that would be to go back to the chemo i had when i was 10.. which caused me to be sick and loose my hair.. but if thats what must happen to beat this again then so be it.. im ready.. and im going in with the positive attitude that this chemo (clinical trial) is going to work...
So thats just a little update on me... I will try n post more frequently now that im not going to be going back n forth to the dr. office...
The recovery has started~!! Finished my last chemo for 2 weeks!! yay!
Had labs done today and they were ok.... white count is high where they want
it so its showing i am able to fight off lil colds and stuff.. but thats doesnt
mean im going to be all out in crazy this weekend... I want to build it up a bit
more there for the actually 2 weeks i am able to see people.....
I have to go back monday for labs and possible fluids depending on my
results.. just to give me that lil boost. But who knows..... I'm just going to
continue to be positive and fight fight fight~! lol

So today was a doozie..... the side efffects have started... was in treatment
for about 5 hrs today.. IDK... had to increase the pain meds, and had to get
some other stuff for nausea and stuff. boo....
Lost a little more weight.. which i dont know how thats possible being as i
ate like crazy yesterday... I had a weird craving for ox tails and jamacian rice
so i ate that.... it was great.
Trying to pack on the pounds with smoothies and shakes,, but not working to
well.... weighed in today at 86lbs. NOT GOOD. I just hope these 2 recovery weeks
i can put on lbs, regain strength, hang out and feel some what content.....
I'm staying positive and doing what i can to be a comfy as possible. feel
free to text or call or e-mail. All i do i sit around and eat a lil here and
