Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

2 weeks have gone by...

...but nothing really new that is worth writing about. I am able to spend the day by myself now. I can make it up and down the stairs a few times a day. However, I am certainly tired by 8 pm though. I still have to be careful that I don't get too far down that I can't get up (eg. sitting on the floor). Sitting in a chair is about as far as I go when I am alone otherwise I am afraid that I will get stuck.

We had a nice Thanksgiving. My dad and Sandy's daughter both came from Edmonton. Ate lots, played some games and had a nice weekend. I even found some time for a nap.

Yesterday I asked the doctor if I could stop taking the steriods and he said yes. So today is my first steriod free day. I hope all this weight comes off quickly. 2 weeks as of today we leave for Singapore. It would be so great to be looking better and feeling better.

So I still weeble and wooble but I am certainly stronger than before.

Jessica is home from school, so time to say goodbye.

Love to you all.

Carolin

    Hi Carolin,
    You may think that you haven't had anything to write about in the last two weeks but news about you getting stronger and not taking steroids anymore is certainly what I have been anxiously waiting to hear...and probably the rest of your readership too. Great news! thanks so much for sharing. Still thinking of you everyday and looking forward to hearing about Singapore.

    I agree with the above! I certainly like to hear about you getting stronger and preparing for your trip! I'm glad to hear you are well enough to have some time to yourself too (if you want that once in a while). Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping us posted. I've said it before, but have to say it again... YOU ROCK GIRL!! Rebecca
