Cancer Continues

TJ's cancer is becoming an emotional roller coaster ride. A visit to the lab yesterday showed that the cancer cells in her blood are increasing again, from 2200 to 4500. Her Doctor sent a request to pathology to find out what type of cancer cells we are dealing with now. The medications that TJ is on are affecting her emotionally and physically but they are controlling the seizures and the brain tumors are continuing to shrink.
We are doing a lot of traveling right now with the kids trying to give them good experiences to remember their mother by in case her time should come. Last weekend was a zoo trip and visits to some local museums.
Today TJ went to the store for groceries. I drove her down since the medications affect her driving ability then stayed in the truck to catchup on my sleep. TJ sampled some lunch meat that reacted with her medication. Fortuanetly the staff knows her and took her to the express line to get her out quickly despit the large quantity of itmes she had. TJ says that there was the one senior lady behind her that continully complained about the number of grocerices TJ had and that she should be in a regular line. Despite the staff explaining to her about TJ's cancer this woman would not let up. TJ took it with her usual gentle spirit and prayed that she would never have to expereance cancer herself.
