Hi!

Well...not too much is new. I've been tired, but otherwise i can't complain too much.  I have meds to take if I start feeling nauseous, so that's taken care of.  I have an appointment August 23, in Pittsburgh, to get another opinion. My doctor here requested that I go up there.

Otherwise...

• I'm tired a lot.
• Most of the time I don't know what day it is.
• I don't answer my cell. 
• I usually eventually answer texts. 
• The only time I cough is when I lean over. It is a dry cough. ( In case you were wondering)
• I've invented the terms Chemopause and Chemocold
• I've become lightly obsessed with retro tennis shoes.
• I'm super anxious to figure out when my woobie Kristin and my niecee, Noey, are visiting.
• I miss my peeps in Nashville.
• I'm missing items I left behind in TN.
• I'm looking forward to seasons one and two of Blossom arriving.

Most of all I'm thankful.  Thankful for the awesome support, love and prayers of those around the world.  Thank you to those who have sent gifts, cards, balloons, flowers and other trinkets.  They aren't necessary, but are definitely a bright spot in my day.

I must say that I totally feel God working in my life.  Despite the low times I have, most of the time, I find my peace in Him. Trusting and giving it all to Jesus was something I did from day one. It's made a huge deal in my life.  Like I say, I do have my low times, but I'm not afraid to feel.  I own it, Yo!

Overall despite this whole cancer thing:

Much Love!

I know what you are saying...

Two blogs in one day? SAY WHA??? 

So, I kicked some cancer butt today. My power port behaved. When they removed some of stitches in the hospital it released whatever was pulling, causing pain in my arm and hurt when I coughed. (I'm not coughing nearly as much anymore either...YEA!) 

Thanks everyone for your continued prayers, cards and love. I believe truly that it is healing.

Dr Mo discovered he could hear a little air in my rotten potato!!!, a.k.a. my right lung.  Praise you, Jesus!!!  I love my doc and he recommended (has many times) that we get a second opinion at UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.) So, we will be going there for another opinion soon. This will include checking out any trials I may be possibly eligible for.

He also mentioned me in at a conference as he has only had one other patient who was young (28/m) non smoker with lung cancer. I'm an important learning experience in the medical world. Booya!

My medical peeps gave me permission to get a mani/pedi!! YEA! So, thats pending tomorrow's itinerary. 

SO, it was a pretty good day!!

Much Love!

P.S. Is it wrong I spent a few minutes looking at Scooter Store  today? I mean they keep saying my insurance will pay for it on the telly. Do you know how frustrating it is when somewhere doesn't have those carts or the battery dies in the back of the store....VERY!!

agenda for the day

1. Starbucks
2. Blood work
3. Visit with Dr Mo
4. Go to infusion center.
5. Kick Cancers @ss!

Love K*

YAWN!...

Hey all!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. 

A week ago Friday, they put me in the hospital for fluids and observation. It was only overnight but still.  I went home Saturday. Sunday,  I got sick quite a few times....chemo's revenge. Most of this week I've been very tired but eating a little bit more. I've also been coughing less but talking is still kinda difficult.

Thursday is my next chemo treatment. God be with me!
