UPDATE

Hi Guys, Just thought i would give you a little factual update because i have been asked a few times and i don't want you to worry so here goes...



Hospital stuff...
Initially the doc stuck me in hospital for the 1st chemo, the reason being that my poor 'ol liver is in such a state that they are really worried...
i actually look 10 months pregnant!... Shifty (Which i can tell you is MOST frustrating! i actually even waddle!) BUT what confuses them is that i am in fact a very healthy person but with a severely swollen liver (size of a 6 pound baby apparently) And apparently this is affecting my blood levels...
Which is the deciding factor for chemo... Soooo they keep going hmmmm shall we admit her while she has it or just not give it to her for now???
Which is what they have just done and put off chemo for another week... Which is kind of frustrating because the whole idea of chemo is to reduce the nodules on the central liver and thus the liver swelling! i am in and out of hospital for ultrasounds because they just cant figure me out! Winking smile
One of the reasons being that breast cancer does not usually just skip straight into the liver, it is usually the last place it ends up and by then you are usually very, very ill... But all my scans for bones and major organs etc are clear, so it seems i am a bit of a conundrum Lol! Disappointed smile
i continue to meditate and am on organic food (always) i exercise but can't do too much, but my family and friends have been fabulous... i am on so many prayer chains that i almost buzz which i ~Love~ ...Have had some amazing healings and am under a vitamin building regime too, i continue to know in my Heart what the emotional work is that i need to address and am in constant mindfull~ness of this... Thinking smile
i am on a journey to a deeper level and all is as it should be... i am learning the true meaning of ~Trust~ Red heart

So there you go still puddling along, ready to birth the old and move into the new... It is just a matter of time Smile

Thankyou for caring my Beautiful Bloggy Friends

~All is Well~

Love Vicki Red rose

This morning on Good Morning America, Our Morning News from 7AM to 9AM, we ran a story about a Ice Cap people are wearing you change them every thirty minutes while getting Chemo and they have a very high success rate for people never to lose their hair. If your interested...

I know some put it off just for that reason.


There is a website for it name after a very famous character in an old fairy tale. Who might it be, the character had very very long hair, and threw it from the tower for her hero to climb and save her. who was it who was it, I can't remember.

The websites there, if I could just remember.
