Connie
 
Guess I might as well mention this, because it might impact the amount of time and effort I can put into this site for a while.

Connie was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She had surgery 04-28-2022 (I think, my brain really isn't working all that well lately). And she had her first chemo treatment on 05-11-2022.

So I am putting all my effort into helping and supporting her to the absolute best of my ability. If that means the websites go away, then so be it. Not much happening here anyway, but at least I have a couple of people who stop in here now and again and make their presence known.

Personally, my world has been turned completely upside down. I am praying she pulls through this, because quite honestly, if she doesn't I really don't know what I will do without her.

So sorry to hear this. I can only imagine what the two of you are going through. You are in our prayers my friend.

Yeah, this made EVERYTHING else far down on the priority list now.

Wow Rich, I just saw this post, hoping for a full recovery for Connie.

Rich Z 05-23-2022 11:52 PM

Thank you.

Hoping for the best. Praying a lot too.

Second chemo treatment will be on 06-01. Since she only got one of the three drugs that first time, I think this one might be much harder on her. She didn't have much in the way of side effects at all from that first one, so maybe she will be one of the lucky ones that doesn't suffer much from the side effects of chemo. Certainly got my fingers crossed hoping for that one.

At least she is healing up well from the surgery. It would have been really bad had that first chemo treatment hit her hard while she was still trying to recover from the surgery.

But I am here for her, no matter what. There isn't anything I wouldn't do to help her.

BTW, if anyone is interested, I post more about this on my main website.

I can't see any reason to post the details everywhere.

Wow Rich, you and Connie have had a workout, take care of yourselves.

Rich Z 05-26-2022 10:45 PM

Yeah, and this is just the beginning...

If I only knew when I posted the above......:ack2:

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. In case this wasn't enough of a load for Connie and I to be carrying, I had a heart attack on Memorial Day. Rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, went into emergency surgery and had a stent placed in my right coronary artery. Cardiologist told me it was nearly 100% blocked and I am lucky to still be alive. The left coronary artery is 60% blocked, so I may be going through this again soon for a stent to be placed in that artery.

The Sunday before I was putting in a post for the new mailbox, and I guess sinking that post into the ground pushed me over the edge. Darn miracle I didn't have the heart attack while working, as I would have been laying out down there at the end of the driveway for who knows how long. As it was, Connie got right on the phone Monday morning and had emergency services there REALLY quickly. Which quite likely saved my life.

So far I am feeling OK. Was pretty tired for a while and the slightest effort would exhaust me, but that seems to have passed.

Connie seems to be doing well with the chemo treatments. At least better than I had expected. The tumor marker the oncologist has been monitoring started above 9,000, then dropped to 900 something, and the latest one on 06-29 for 578. So I am REAL hopeful that is a good sign that she will be able to pull through this.

Good news, hope the progress continues !
