I was just reading on one of the websites that I often go to and someone referenced a posting from Leroy Siever's blog.  I have been wanting to check it out for some time, but just kept forgetting when I had the opportunity.  I really did not get to read much of it, but what I read, I was completely able to relate to.  (That just seems scary to me.)  I guess I just didn't realize how much I was learning/feeling/ managing over the past 2 years, since my stage 4 diagnosis.  
I do know that I am so sick and tired of doctor appts, and tests, and having to make a million phone calls to schedule everything!  It is just ridiculous!  There is always something new going on and it needs to stop.
Quick update:
Chemo Monday.  Almost uneventful.  I complained about pain in my upper left arm a few weeks ago (possibly tendonitus?) and the last 2 weeks numbness and tingling in the lower left arm. They sent me for an ultrasound on the arm to rule out a blood clot. No blood clot.  Lymphedema?  Who knows.  Hopefully nothing.
Tuesday- follow up with pulmonologist.  They reviewed everything and only 1 number from the pft was lower than normal.  At this time, they are not concerned about it.  Follow up in 2 months.  Recommend seeing ENT to examine vocal chords- since I have not had my normal voice for like 2 months.
Thank you Donna, for watching the girls all day Monday, and to Beth for watching them on Tuesday!!
Considering Wednesday is my hardest day of the week, I had a very nice day with my girls.  We did nothing special and enjoyed it anyway.  
I am excited for the busy weekend coming up.  Friday night I am going to see the Sex and The City movie with a few girlfriends.  Yay!  Saturday we will be getting together with friends and Sunday we will be visiting both families for Father's Day.  And no treatment on Monday!  Woo-hoo!
