April 24

Judy had her 10th out of 12 chemo treatments yesterday.  Her white cell count was 1.34.  Marvelous.  Dr. Ahmed met with Judy on Tuesday and said she is doing remarkably well.  A CT scan had been scheduled for May 15, but Dr. Ahmed wants another chemo before a CT scan.  The next scheduled chemo is May 14.  If she stays on this course, Judy could be done her 12 treatments by early June.

Judy continues to bounce back quickly after chemo.  Yesterday, she was chilled, had tight muscles, and nausea.  Today, she was up and around.  Tomorrow, I am sure she will make a pilgrimage to the mall.

April 10

Alvin is definitely the king of the blog (and of Kelvington!), but for a brief moment, I'm going to commandeer the keys.
Today marks 5 years since my first surgery. It has been the most remarkable journey! There is truly not a moment of it that I regret or have negative feelings about. You have been wonderful, caring and supportive, and a blessing to me, Alvin, Haley and Mary. Thank you for travelling with us with love and care.

April 1

Judy had a break from chemo treatments during the month of March; therefore, we had the opportunity to travel to Phoenix, Palm Springs, Lake Havasu, Laughlin, Grand Canyon and back to Phoenix from March 14-18.  Judy was feeling great during the entire holiday. In spite of the miles covered, we did have ample time for rest and relaxation.  The weather was great and Judy was pleased with her purchases.

Blood work was yesterday and chemo was today.  Judy's white cell count was a whopping 1.41!  A chemo review is scheduled for April 22 and there will be another CT scan on May 15.
