April 04, 2022 After six days and five nights, I have been discharged following my sigmoidectomy and surprise removal of left ovary and Fallopian tube!! It’s always good to break out of the hospital!! There’s never any real rest while you are in there! 🤪 I won’t bore everyone with too many details. I had…

March 30, 2022 Not much sleep for me (due to bowel prep 😬💩), we were up and out around 4:45AM. Arrived at the Gold Valet at Moffitt Cancer Center on Magnolia Drive by 5:00AM! Not as glamorous as it sounds, lol. 😎 Preop went with ease. Met with Dr. Zemp who would be placing the stent in…

Dr Felder, my colon surgeon called. All good news! No surprises on the CT scans of my chest, abdomen, and pelvis. I said I was looking for good surprises! He replies that no new cancer on a scan IS a good surprise 🤪! He could see the colon tumor (I’m still praying it’s dead and…

I don’t remember…

Angela is out of surgery, liver resection a success! She is resting comfortably in her room . Thank you everyone for your prayers and uplifting messages.

Sunday night, January 2nd we arrived in Tampa. Andy and I like to go the night before so we will be ready bright and early for my day of appointments. We met my cousins Barbara, Mike, and Allison with her beautiful family out for dinner. We went to Kona Grill so we could sit outside….

Who knew they had pet therapy too! Chemo #13 on Dec 15th (minus the oxilaplatin) went off without a hitch. Delivered holiday goodies to all the nurses (really 😇 angels) Joann drove me and stayed thru lunch. My mom took over and for my ride home. In the meantime Diane came for a quick visit…
