Just got the fantastic news that my step-mom is officially in remission from fucking pancreatic cancer just under a year after being diagnosed!!!!!!!!
She is still going through some recovery because 10 months of chemo with a Whipple procedure is no fucking joke and we hoped for this outcome but hope can be a bitch sometimes.
Fuck cancer. #FuckCancer
And if you know anyone in NJ that wants doctor recommendations, Gregory J Tiesi for Whipple surgery and Kenneth D. Nahum for oncology.
I've been casting my grief across the socials--I'm on 7 platforms--and I'm trying to figure out why.
Maybe I want the world to know someone beautiful and joyous is gone and putting away her life hurts so much.
Maybe I just need a place to scream.
Today I start on papers.

One thing that happened before Katrina died is that her things got misplaced in the final shuffle from the cancer centre to the hospital ICU.
Today, my daughter found them, and we are going to Princess Margaret to get them.
It makes me indescribably happy.
Today there was a community Rx drug take back event. I brought a large box full of meds, my late husband's, and some are oral chemo that cost thousands of dollars. Wished I could give them back to the hospital so someone who couldn't afford it could have the treatment.
He was on so many meds at the end of his life. Disposing them (properly) felt like shedding one layer of pain -- although there are so many of them still left.

Stell dir vor, du bist 53 Jahre alt, gehst zum Arzt weil du seit Monaten einen lästigen Husten hast, dich aber sonst vollkommen okay fühlst.
Der Arzt untersucht dich, findet Wasser in der Lunge und Metastasen im ganzen Körper, sogar im Hirn. Seine Diagnose: "Sie haben noch ca. 3 Monate zu leben."
BAM!!
So geschehen bei uns in der Verwandtschaft. Was für eine fucking Gülle!!
Home from my road trip. Katrina's books are on their way to many good homes, and the money they earn will go to a public library. I saw friends and family, and am glad I went, though my heart is so heavy today.
Need to clean the place, then prep for the next phase.
It's a hard day, today.
We sorted the books and kept the keepers. The rest are going to a friend who will sell them to raise money for their local library. They're out of town so I'm making it a road trip. Home tomorrow morning.
Then next steps.

I'm tracking down radiologist that is supposed to do Mom's Y-90 to ask when that is happening. I'm really worried that if they keep delays on treatment - her cancer tumor will grow larger & metasize too. Liver cancer tumors tend to grow faster than other cancer tumors. I'm filled with anxiety.

Just finished yet another bone marrow biopsy. The fourth at this hospital. I don't recommend it, if you can avoid it. My doctor offered to show me the sample taken. It's a bit underwhelming.
Mom doing some physical exercises with support of walker, yesterday. She is currently able to exercise for an hour/daily. I split up the exercising times to 3 times a day. Mom doesn't get overly tired that way & feels better after each short exercise session. Morning sessions are mostly stretches & seated chair exercises. Afternoon & early evening sessions are standing up/walking mini laps in the house.

Books part 2. My lovely daughter is coming to help with sort, which is good. Tomorrow I'm off on a road trip to deliver them to a friend who sells books to raise $ for their local library. I hope they help.
Tuesdays be like...
*sigh*
As expected, my oncological, proctological butt doctors both agreed: my truly magnificent ass of many legends needs another surgery. Simply stated, using the most passive voice I can summon... on Friday, a biopsy will be taken. Oxycodone will also be consumed, and many couches will be sat upon, gingerly.
FRACK !!!
*chuckles*
I should know the results sometime next week. We're looking for melanoma this time, not the carcinoma I've already tackled. And anal melanoma is very rare, so the odds are in my favor. It'll be fine.
I'd share more but the drugs are mine.
Tuesday! The day where we say . . . Tuesday!
Having a bit of a dark day today. Woke up at before six and only now got it together enough to make my coffee.
Goals, in order: write, paperwork, sort Katrina's books, get to the gym.

We moved the bed around.
Mom's taking an afternoon nap, now.
Her vitals have been stable since yesterday evening.
I need to talk to doctors tomorrow about her upcoming blood work & anemia issues related to getting those done. We have 3 medical appointments in new week.
I've spent $436 on safe foods/additional vitamins/protein supplements since Mom's discharge just under a week ago - they're costly, even when I get everything on sale.
Thanks to some donations from Fedi-folks, I was able to get to/from hospital daily while Mom was in them, be able to stock up on 2 months supplies of adult diapers, bed mats, hydrocortisone cream, get 2 boxes of test trips & 2 boxes of needles, get a small air purification unit & get Mom a sturdy 4 footed cane. I still need donations to get more caregiving homecare/geriatric care supplies & ongoing medical/health essentials for Mom. Any help to ease our family's new financial burdens are greatly appreciated.
Please pray that we get special authority approval for one new costly medication. Please pray that Mom's booked for Y-90 treatment soon & that her liver cancer tumor doesn't grow/spread while we wait. Please pray that Mom gets approved for BC transplant program 🙏 ❤️

I've been struggling to balance Mom's blood pressure & blood glucose levels. Today, got it down to 121 & hoping it goes lower tomorrow. The BS levels are difficult to balance out now because Mom has to take lactulose, which bumps her levels up. She's currently at 30 units/day for insulin. It's up 10 units/daily since before she was hospitalized.
Mom's new dietary needs/limitations has increased costs on groceries needed for her meals/food & vitamin supplements. I have to rebudget everything for rest of this month & plan for next 2 months.
My brother Steve came over yesterday & helped to remove old washer machine & take it to recycling place. Him & my other brother Jerry also got more physically exerting household tasks done. The new washer is being ordered by Frauke tomorrow.
Two doctors are writing to BC ministry of health to ask for special authority coverage of her one new medication that costs almost $600/30 days. I have also requested update on ETA for Mom's Y-90 cancer treatment.

Diagnostiquée à 46 ans, une femme du Québec :flagqc: avec un cancer du sein de stade 4 appelle à un dépistage précoce

@ascentale @bikenite A8. As I mentioned in A1, I got my repaired Brompton back on Wednesday. On Thursday I took it to Toronto via GO Train for a medical appointment. That was wonderful, though University Avenue was torn up and under construction. I like to think that biking and training to cancer treatment is kind of badass. 🤣🚴♀️❤️
Det är inte utan att man känner en smula tomhet när man läser att Heavy har lämnat oss.
Han blev riksbekant i På Rymmen för en massa år sen men mest känner jag honom som go och glad trummis i Mimikry och såklart från Dökött.
Hemma igen efter dagens begravning. Det blev ett väldigt fint avsked, men #fuckcancer
