sleepyToday my social worker from Cancer Family Care will be here.
What I'd like to get done today: I need to crochet a hat to go with my Caron Bliss Mango scarf I'm knitting. I want to trim the hat with a little of the yarn, but I'd better do that before I get anywhere near finishing the scarf and possibly running out of yarn for the trim.
What I'd like to get done this week: go through all my yarn stash and see what I actually HAVE.
Can't think beyond that--toooo tired. Laters.
I've had a few "scares" off and on since that time, so my social worker has kept me on over the years. It just feels safer that way. :-)
My last scare was the one last autumn, but it turned out to be benign. :-)
My Mom has a chronic form of B-cell Lymphoma. It is a kind that they know will come back, it's come back at least twice since the first instance. She's somewhat fortunate though, because it's very treatable, with a drug called Rituxan, that is administered like traditional chemo, but unlike traditional chemo, doesn't kill all fast-growing cells, just the cells in the blood that are bad. So she doesn't lose her hair or her lunch or get thrush or any of the other painful, debilitating side effects.
The last time it came back, it was after only 13 months, so they put her on two years of maintenance treatments, one treatment at week for two weeks, every three months. It's been over a year since her last one, and she's still in remission.

I'll keep a good thought for you to stay that way too.
