It's so good to be home again! It feels like we were gone forever! The past five days were very heavy and challenging! Now we are back to the same ole routine already. Tomorrow is chemo so let's hope my WBC are way up there and ready to rock (they were still low on Monday morning!).
On our drive home from the airport I started to worry again. Honey took my hand and told me, "We can beat this." And I believed him. Again. Finally.
It's going to take all of my physical and emotional strength and ability but I'm willing to run the gauntlet and become the medical miracle that I say in my affirmations.
The whole "let's have a lunch date every single week" plan fell quickly and crash landed within the second week. Now, instead of that, i'm welcoming anyone to come visit me at home for a couple hours whenever you want and can! Just don't bring any germies over here and be ready to wash those hands frequently, please. I need to cure the weekday loneliness and you can help me do just that!
More in the next couple of days. If you don't hear from me over the whole weekend, there's no need to worry...I will probably just be wiped out from tomorrow's CAKE. :) It's all good.
This is a blog about us Honeys. We've been married for 6 years, live in Littleton, CO, have a Chihuahua named Dobby, a Rat Terrier named Scarlett, three awesome cats (all referred to as our Furry Kids!) and some fish.
In November 2007 I was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer of the liver) and nave been undergoing chemotherapy since December '07 & Proton Radiation Therapy at M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX from December '08 - February '09, and then back on eternal chemo until we get the tumor to shrink away from one salvageable vein in the liver so that it can be surgically removed. We use this blog to keep family and friends updated on our struggles, loves, challenges, celebrations, goals, ideas and the general daily grind!

My Dear, Dear Abbey-Gal..Pete is right...we can beat this and we will. This round may be tougher than anything you've done so far, especially if you are going to continue chemo AND do a chemo embolization. Now is the time for you to let your specific needs be known and let those of us out here who can help you in your fight do so. Visitations when you are feeling up to it because loneliness is such a depressing negative factor and you need to be uplifted by us, weekly meals so you and Pete can concentrate on other things (I will be happy to arrange this for you), continuing prayers to give you strength, hope, and courage, and above all, we can continue to send your our love through emails and responses to your blogs. Keep us posted, dear, dear Abbey, so we can know specifically how to support you through this. It is going to get rougher, but you have a wonderful team of friends who are walking right along side of you every step of the way. Like you said, the only way out is through, and WE (not just you) are well on our way through this ...together. Love, Carol
