Update

February 8th, 2020 at 04:28 pm

I haven't blogged in awhile. I typed an update a few weeks ago, but it disappeared when I went to post it.

I have my last chemo on Wednesday. I have been in the hospital several times including my 50th birthday. I had an abscess that is now a chronic wound. I have also had issues with clots.

Financially, I am holding my own. I am not working, but I have my inheritance from grandma to live off of for two more months. I filed for disability and get my first deposit in March. It only took a week to approve me. I guess stage 4 cancer will do that.

Thankfully, my prognosis is good so with any luck disability is temporary. It will be for awhile though. I have a wound vac for this wound which really limits me.

    Laura, I'm so glad to hear from you! Sorry that you're dealing with the health issues, but thrilled that the prognosis is positive. You've been on my mind.

    Happy birthday. It doesn't sound like the actual day was a fun one but there's time during the year to do something celebratory for yourself. Take care.

    I hope that wound heals, I'm glad you have a little cushion until disability kicks in. I hope in addition to the financial and medical support that you have support for your heart. What a difficult thing to deal with.
