I'm late posting just like spring is late arriving

After my late post in February I thought I would update routinely and on time.....which is only after doctor visits. Well that is what I had been doing anyways.
      I had a doctors appointment the last week of March and at that appointment found out that my latest C.A.T. Scan showed growth in the lung mets(tumors), and stable liver mets. So my Dr. and I talked about changing drugs to get a better grasp on these lung mets. The drug is an older chemo but one I have not had. I agreed to switch but not without hesitation because the last two or three drugs have been newer chemo's and with less side effects. I started my new chemo last week Monday and was in bed sleeping for 4 days following.. All day and all night.  Nauseated some too. So I'm hoping the side effects lessen each treatment.
      Over the past year I have had a fast heart rate. Chemo's can damage heart muscles....I finally asked to see a cardiologist because I would get random chest pains, and sometimes short of breath. I had a stress test done and it came back good. No muscle damage. So now the cardiologist wants me to take some medicine that should slow my rate down....and the side effects...fatigue. I guess I will be getting a lot of rest.
     I have a few daffodils and crocus in bloom which remind me spring is here it just doesn't feel like it.  I hope everyone enjoy the sunny days that are soon to be in an abundance .

Peace
Kelly

Wax,

You are all heart, so I'm glad the doctor confirmed your heart is okay. My irises and lilies are coming up now, with summer almost here.

Keep the updates coming!

So this had to be an OBD I car or truck with an ALCL diagnostic connector
and not an OBD II connector. This protocol by specification is 10,400 baud.

Hi Kelly!

You may not remember me - Peg TenHoopen - now Peg Spoelstra. I had kids at Northview and Of course, I remember you because you could pitch like no one else! One of my daughters, Krista, played softball at NHS also.

I asked Kim about you, and she shared the link to your blog. You write beautifully and I'm glad I know where to check in on you.

You have been in my prayers since Kim told me you were in treatment. You are an amazing example of a strong woman.

Best wishes!

Peg
