Welcome to Stephanie’s CaringBridge Site
Sign In to Show Your SupportI haven't updated lately! If you follow me on facebook or twitter you may be a little up to date, but I still have news.
SO on Wednesday I had my liver biopsy and port placement. You know that it was a little rough recovery.
I am doing much better. Still a little sore around the placement site, but mostly good. I've been REALLY tired lately. Almost falling asleep when I am putting Logan to bed (though I don't fall asleep, I promise!) being completely exhausted after work and a little dizzy at times. Doc says its probably a combo of the cancer working on my body, being mentally exhausted and dehydrated. Keeping a close eyes on things though.
Important news though. Liver biopsy was positive for cancer in my liver. SO it has metastasized, and is stage 4. Nothing much changes now, I will hopefully qualify for disability quickly. Chemo starts on the 21st. I will be there for about 2-3 hours and then go home on an infusion over two days. Then when they disconnect me, I have been told those days are the worst for symptoms and side effects. SO time will tell how I handle everything. This weekend Jacqueline is coming to town to be with us, so we are going to have fun!
Thank you for all the love and support. <3
