Interview for a special series

It's been a crazy week!  Monday I had a lab appt at Tx Oncology and went to my surgeons office instead.  My surgeon, Dr. Walzel saw me anyway, but I never remembered that I had an appt at Tx Oncology.  I had to reschedule my appt at Tx Oncology for today. 

I went to the appointment and when the lab tech started drawing blood - it quit coming out!!  What the heck! Seriously, it just stopped!  He moved the needle around, slightly pulled it out and put it back in and the blood still wouldn't come out!  He had to stick me again and use a syringe to draw blood.  It was super slow...who knows what the heck was going on.   Then I found out that my favorite medical assistant is being transferred to Cedar Park Office!  BOOOOOOO!!  I am really gonna miss Anabel, she is awesome.  Good luck to her.  My labs were fine considering I just finished my 4th round of chemo.  Robin, the nurse practitioner suggested I get the flu shot next week.  They are giving them at work on the 5th.  YUK! I am really starting to hate needles!

I was interviewed by Crestina Chavez, News 8 Austin, today.  She is doing a series on Hispanic women with cancer and also on UT Hope, a volunteer group of students from UT that came to help me out last weekend.  They were a great group of students and very kind to give up their Saturday morning just to come help me out.  Words cannot express how grateful I am.  Anyway, the interview will air on October 14th and October 15th on Time Warner cable or you can watch it on www.news8austin.com.  I'm excited about it!

Devan might be coming home this weekend??? or we will be making a trip to A&M!  I miss my baby.  Good look on your tests this week honey!

Have a great rest of the week friends and family.  My next round of chemo will start on the October 7th.  This is for the Taxol.  They say it will be easier on me....I am hoping it is.

Hugs,
Yolanda
