So as you can see I've now changed the tittle of my blog.What started out as a blog of my adventures in cooking and taken a huge turnThejourney begins Little over a 1 1/2 years ago when i was diagnosed with malignant melanoma on mid back.
Now it's more than 1 /2 years later six surgical procedures and a failed phase clinical trail of immunotherapy,I've come to what I think is a crossroads.
Ive always had the attitude that I can beat this huge bump in the road but it gets real tough at times.when they Way a Little knowledge is dangerous being a PA or > 30 years can get to be a real drag
I am currently getting ready for 4th admission and 4th cycle of high dose interleuken II, this coming Sunday.for my metastatic melanoma.Though in reality I could not have made it to this point without the support of my family friends& coworkers whose daily encouragment makes getting up to go to work easier each day.The truth is it's truth what doesn't kill you make you stronger and in fact the last year and 1/2 has not only strengthened my faith in G-d ,a stronger person and and even better PA who can truly empathize with her patients .I'm planning to try and blog daily not just to keep all of my friends and family informed but to strengthen my own convictions that i will beat this.there are just too many things I still hope to accomplish in my life.
Dearest Bambi!!! Faith is a most important factor. When the doctors told my mother that she was third state breast cancer and had 3-6 months to live she laughed in their faces and fought with all her might. She lived another 8 years. Still not long enough, but certainly longer than predicted and that was 31 years ago when medicine was not as advanced as today.
