In South Dakota on this part of our trip.

Welcome Leah :)

Just would like to show everyone my son Nicholas's new puppy Leah....
Leah is called my  "Grand Puppy"  Oh how that cracks me up.
She is one crazy little dog. She gives me a run for my money let me tell ya. I do enjoy her.

Freezing my tumors

Well the doctors are going to freeze my tumors in a few days. They've said they've had good results doing this. Makes me a little scared but I'll give it a try. What do I have to lose.... nothing.

I look at it this way. They can do it to help me but I'm also helping them by seeing how it works. With each person they try this with they can see what works and what doesn't. It's all good.

Only thing is No Music.....hahaha! We'll be in a different room this time. I think it's the CT room. Oh I have enough music in my head to keep me busy. Maybe I'll sing a country song for Dr. Ali.....that's a joke because he hates country music. I don't. He lets me listen to 80's hair band music during my other treatments. I guess you'd have to be in the treatment room to under the humor in all this.

Anyway I will post after I'm done having the tumors froze in my liver. Until then I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend & a amazing month of June!

Here's the video my friend Michael Gallagher made for his school project. We were class mates at
Columbia in Chicago. When he asked me to do it I was like "heck yeah!" I never turn down a way to get the word out about Breast Cancer. Or any cancer at that.

He did such a great job! I'm very proud of the job he did. Very proud to call him my friend too. So watch the video. Learn from it and tell everyone about it. Get that word out. Just know I'm very positive about my cancer. It is what it is. God gave it to me for a reason and that reason was to help other's.

Test Results/Don't forget to fight....

Well got all the results from my PET Scan, MRI & CT Scans.
No new cancer. It's staying in my liver. Lungs were great. PET scan was great....MRI is the big pain in my butt!

So it shows the liver really hasn't changed. It either shows the tumors grew alittle or it scar tissue. So Dr. Kang & Dr. Ali were going to go over the MRI together. So we will see what's up my next appointment and we will go from there. As in either more chemo in the liver or freeze those babies. But I have to stay on chemo every 2 weeks. Oh joy.

I know it is what it is. I'm always positive about it. But yet you have those moments to where you stop and think why keep doing this crap. Is it helping....is it working....is it this or is it that.....sucks some days. Then see my children.....and those thoughts go right out my mind. The thought of maybe seeing a wedding or a grandchild pop in my head. That's a great thought. To finally see Adam get his welding degree. To see Nicholas finally become a fireman for our home town or any town.

To see Jory go to his first prom. To be here to see Jory graduate from high school.  To see Sophia start high school. Then little Seth grow into a little man. To  see what he might be as a man. To have my 25 Wedding Anniversary party. Renew our vows is a good idea.

So that's why I fight. If you or whoever reads this ever had a doubt....don't....it's worth the fight. Don't give up. Remember fight like there is a tomorrow. Fight like you've never fought before. Make your dreams come true. Don't sit there and watch life pass you by....join in & live!

Well after my stay in the hospital 2 weekends ago I was given 2 weeks off of chemo. So I've been enjoying it. Steve & I had dinner with our friends Scott & Lori. That was just by chance. Had a nice time. Then we went to the boat. Hung out with our friend Jenny....as we call her Jin Nay Nay...haha! Then ran into our son Nicholas who was out with his girl friend. They all went out for Sommers birthday.  So we all hung out with them for a while.

It was nice to see people I haven't seen in a long time. It was all the kid's friends. Which I call them my kids. They call me momma Palmer & Steve they call daddy Palmer....hahaha! The guys just call us by our first names. Oh I just love those kids! Well I guess I shouldn't call them kids anymore Their all over 21. LOL! I met new people who are either dating that person or just freinds with them. So that was nice.

So everything is going good. This coming week I have my test, PET scan, MRI & CT scan to do. So when I go back for chemo we'll have more of a handle on how my liver is. The next treatment on my liver is to FREEZE yeah I said that FREEZE my tumors in my liver to kill them. I have to say that is really strange but hey if it works it works.

Alright folks have a wonderful week & will post again soon. Everyone out there keep strong & be happy. Life is just too short not to get out there and live it. Laugh when you can because it always makes you feel better. Cry when you need to because that makes you feel better too. Believe in yourself and know you can do whatever if you set your mind to it.

If you have cancer do what I do.....I laugh in the face of cancer & say you will never take me! Fight it & beat it. Be positive always. To be positive is what helps you face it & take it down.

Peace & Positive thoughts to all of you.

Be a fighter.....fight against that cancer.........win...........

Just one of those days...........................

You know I'm just having one of those days where you wish you would of just stayed in bed.  Just not a happy little camper. Just sick of a lot of stuff.

#1 thing: sick of  my cancer. And that's pretty much all I feel like saying today.

Hope whoever reads this has a better day than me...that's all.
