No Transplant for me !






My doctor has decided that a transplant is not the best treatment option for me at this time. I will be going in for another round of chemo tomorrow and will be in hospital until Tuesday or Wednesday. Then four weeks in recovery and a final round of Chemo another four weeks recovery and done ! I'm counting myself among the 30% who are cured with chemo alone and plan to be back to work by Christmas. I have been in complete remission now since the first round of chemo and my Doc was very impressed that I'm working for an hour or more in the garden in the morning and then doing 90 minutes of yoga, dance and body shaping in the afternoon. Feeling very well now and not looking forward to another hospital stay, but it gets easier as I get stronger and closer to the end of treatment. Don't know if I'll have cell coverage at the hospital it depends on which room they put me in. I'll post the number when I get there.

The bugs are eating my garden, stunting my cucumbers and watermelons. I think next year I'll plant fewer things and be a bit less crowded. The tomatoes are doing well and I think I'll have a nice assortment of gourds in spite of the wretched squash beetles.I took pictures of the plants that the fairies planted which grew wild in the garden. I do believe in fairies even if there are in the form of bees and butterflies and hummingbirds. I have five wild tomato plants, one swan gourd vine and corn. Come see me at HUP and bring treats !
