7 Down, ? to Go!

August Greetings to all!
This summer seems to be moving along at a rather alarming rate! Suzi returned to Oklahoma on August 5th and has already started teacher professional development days. Kids start coming on Wed. (8/12). We in the east have almost another month to go, but this has been a much cooler summer than usual which is fine with me, especially this year.
I did have my last scheduled chemo on 7/29 and 30. But the CT scan just before it shows that I still have some enlarged lymph nodes so I have another CT scan on 9/9/09 with an oncologist visit on 9/11 to determine what comes next. Possibly more chemo. At least I have 6 weeks off this time instead of 3, so I should have a couple of feel-almost-normal weeks in there. Whatever happens, I know you'll be praying and I'm always expecting miracles.
Peter Rabbit, my trusty side-kick, is now 3 years old. He made it through the terrible twos which weren't terrible at all. Greg called on his birthday in July and played "Happy Birthday" on his banjo. Pete was delighted! Of course we had carrot cake :).
Love and Bunny Hugs--

  1. Hi Teri,
    I have been wondering how you are doing, so I thought that I would check your blog... (Never dreaming that you would have really posted!!)
    Prayers continue for the nasty nodes to navigate to the netherworld!!
    I sure hope that you can get some much-needed rest and feel really well during this "time off" from your treatments.
    Hugs,
    Donna Z.

  5. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
