Angelia you are certainly travelling a bumpy road. Your strength is a true inspiration. Take care and hope you are feeling better soon.

My Primay Dr. for this hopsital came to see me this morning. I have to have more blood transfusions. My stomach looked good. It is my esophagus that caused all the bleeding. My husband told me last night that they are going to have to watch real close because it is really bad and I may be here for the duration. Hopefully they can get my blood counts up. I still had treatment yesterday and will bave it today, but later in the day after I get more blood. This has all been kind of scary for me. As I have never been in the hopsital for any length of time except to have my boys. When my RO saw me yesterday he did not waste time in telling us seriousness of low blood counts and radiation. I am just glad I drove the hour Wed. evening to the hopsital where I am being treated at. I really do miss my kids. We had to leave Wed. evening after they were asleep, so they had no idea mommy and daddy were gone. I will get to see them tonight for a few hours. I do really enjoy the pampering, if you will, I get here at the hospital. I sure was not taken care of like this at home.

My goodness Angelia, if it's not one thing it's three for you isn't it. Sorry to hear of your difficulties through this treatment process. Hang tough and keep fighting and do absorb all the pampering the hospital staff are providing. Hope you will soon be on the mend and back home with your family.

Angelia:
Just want you to know I, too, am thinking of you and sending my prayers for you to get over this latest set-back, and successfully finish your treatments. All your posts show your amazing fighting spirit, so I know you can do it. Enjoy the pampering, while you can.

I did have treatment today and am now getting my second blood transfusion. the best part is that I only have 11 treatments left.

Wow Angelia - tough way to get some "pampering". So sorry that you are having all these additional issues. As hard as it is being in the hospital, it will force you to focus on you and your treatments and recovery. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that things get better soon. How many more treatments do you have? Sending you a BIG HUG!

You poor thing, I feel so bad you are having to go through all of this. Saying my prayers that all will be well. You are one tough lady, hang in there. Just remember, you're that much closer to being done.

Big Hugs,

Shelley

Hi Angelia,
Tough way to get pampered, I think you will need a trip to a spa in a couple of months! Hope you get to go home soon, thinking of you

When I think of you I think of that Donna Summers song from the late 70's "I will survive". Just keep going...one step at a time and you'll get through this crap.

Angelia,,watch that esophagus close. My cardiologist ignored my pains and kept feeding me aspirin and heart drugs. Then I got scoped by a new Gatrointologist in the area and he threw all of the heart meds away and sent me to Pittsburgh for a test where they put tubes thru your nose to the stomache while you are hooked to a machine you take home with you for 24 hrs, The next day when they took it off, my acid was off the chart.My esophagus looked like raw uncerated liver they told me. Right after I had to have surgery for it where they wrap 1/3 of your stomache around it.. Just be careful of acids even some fruit and a lot of foods. I hated to hear this with all the problems you have already. Maybe a scope some day for you ?? Get well and I'll pray for you.
