yay my sil is to start her chemo therapy next week........ finally!! she has been weak, up chugging for the longest with loss of appetite and tiring easily. the treatments are to start aggressive and then taper to every 3 weeks. the pathologist wouldn't tell her what their latest findings were because he said he didn't want her going online looking for info to add to the chaos. he is leaving it up to her oncology specialist to explain it all to her. what a crock of %$&^&&*/*\*#!!!
my db and sil are of a temperament much different than mine. he is the middle child and has always had a piecemaker kinda attitude. and since my sil is an only child with noone else to seriously butt in her business and do the nasty doc fighting except for me (lol), my db has said they will handle it. but they never seem to have the full answers when i grill him. oh well i am trying my best to stay sisterly calm in all this but if it were me, i wouldn't be walking outta any of those docs/specialist offices without some hard talk and my questions answered. it has been so hard for me to breath freely since we found out about this but i realize that no matter how hard it is for me, it must be many times magnified for my db & sil. i really look forward to the walks he & i take each morning now and i relish each one. if it brings either of us a moment of comfort (plus some exercise
) it is all for good. he and i like to debate world, government, local politics, so our walks give him a moment of distraction.
on another note: i made it to the next interview stage (this coming monday) with the company in az. i have put out a call to my professional colleagues in az to get city stats (cost of living, housing costs, co rep, salary averages) to prepare myself if i get to step 3(also for step 2) which is flying there to interview in person. i talk to the hiring manager on monday so i have to brush up on my 'speech' this weekend. i am sure the question of 'why would i like to work for this company' will eventually come up.
ok so on an additional note: i have received a coupla of rak's that i promise i will get pics posted soon. i have acknowledged receipt & sent thanks to the senders i just haven't posted pics yet. i still have my pile of racs to send out. i did manage to get one mailed yesterday though. i have been so tattered thoughted (aka scatter brained
) lately because i am juggling so many things (physical & mental), but i will keep plugging away. it will all get done.
