Reunited! And Chemo Anxiety. .
Hello All!!
I think I’ve been away for nearly a week! Time just kept flying by here in “Hotlanta”.
Ok, tomorrow will be 2 weeks, staples will come out, and chemo begins!
I wanted to give Bentley a boost and brought Bailey home today. Shes been at my moms since his amputation. Two weeks! That’s the longest they have ever been separated! The excitement they shared was pure love. I shared the video on the Facebook site. I use an S4 for blogging, and it doesn’t let me load videos on here. But for an overload of cuteness refer to FB.
Also the pathology came back with what I’m taking as good news? They ruled out osteosarcoma from the amputated leg. The pathologist now believes it to be some sort of soft tissues sarcoma.
It does not seem like they can narrow this down. Being that there are about 6 different soft tissue cancers. They think its one of two.. can’t remember the names. So Bentley’s chemo plan has changed as well, with 5 IV treatments and some chemo pills to take home. Instead of 6 IV treatments and nothing @ home.
Its all overwhelming and confusing and @ this point I’m putting all my faith in the Oncologist. Which is hard for me, I’m a planner, i manage a billion dollar trash company. Its hard for me not to have control on whats going to happen. I’ve come to the point of throwing my hands up and trusting that whatever will be, will be.
Bentley seemed to have some ghost pains this 2nd week as well. Just, what I’m guessing, sharp shooting brief pains. He’d snap up from a nap screaming and didn’t sleep much threw the night. But the last 2 nights he slept the whole way through!
I can see his progress every day. Today was the first day he greeted me at the door with a wiggling butt and that playful smoosh face. And that was even before I picked up his sister!
Sorry we’ve been MIA! Going back to work was a hard transition. Back tomorrow with a 1st chemo update and our 2 week ampuversary!
Love in Atlanta,
Jamie, Bentley, & Bailey
