I ordered Graviola and Obijwa (Cassie) Tea capsules today. The Maitake mushroom blend is on its way from Mom. I found a bow tie and a girlie ascot and brown velvet jacket at thrift stores today. I still need some form of vest for J.

Mom is sending me Maitake mushroom caplets, I'm also ordering Graviola from the amazon and buying Cassie's tea next week.
I'm holding firmly to my belief that God gave us the right plants to help our bodies heal. My faith is not in the herbs, but in God's provision to Adam, Noah, etc. God gave us all we needed. HE is the Great Physician!
I have an appointment with Dr. P, the chemotherapist, on Monday, 4/12; then another appointment with Dr. H for a pelvic exam. Yea! :( Then another CT scan. Double yea :( . I think I can deal. Needles aren't that bad. There are worse things, like major abdominal surgery.
BTW! DS is doing a photo shoot for our family at S----- Park on Saturday. He does free pics for cancer patients. We're doing Alice in Wonderland pics and straight up family pics. I'm so excited.
I've got almost everything together for it: costumes, mismatched teacups, even a hookah! KP and JB really came through for me: teacups, teapots, tablecloths, etc.
I have lingering pain in my right pelvic-hip area, and I'm unable to lift my left knee much more than normal walking height.

We saw Dr. H, oh, one day before Mom went home. Here's what we're looking at:
5 weeks / 5 days a week external radiation
5 weeks / 1 day a week internal radiation
The internal radiation requires twilight sedation by IV. :{
However, it is only 5 times.
Dr. H implied that I would by receiving 7 doses / 1 per week of chemotherapy in conjunction with my radiation. I cried after the appointment.
So now I have numbers running through my head. 25-7-5, 25-7-5, 25-7-5.
Doable numbers.
I had dinner with SM and her parents on Monday night. S's mom has been treated for ovarian cancer for 2 years. Chemo only. She said she'll probably be on chemo for the rest of her life. It breaks my heart, but it also scared me.

Dr. T called this morning. The one lymph node they tested during surgery was positive. We knew that. All other lymph nodes and my ovary came back negative!
Thank you, God! Such a relief.
On Saturday, SM, EP, JR, Midge and Mom came over for my birthday party. SM brought shepherd's pie and butterbeer, decorations and art supplies. EP brought trifle.
It just ends there, but we had a great time together. Food, movie, painting, gifts - it was good to have some girl-time after being in the hospital and feeling really lousy.
