Hello everyone! Just back in Cologne after a weekend in Amsterdam, which was wonderful. We only had two days, and there's so much to see, so it was a bit frantic, but I had a great time.
That's EXCELLENT news Mom! Amersterdam is such a beautiful city! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
My leg is doing a bit better, I've even been able to walk around a bit! Which is great, because I really fucking hate that wheelchair!
ah the joy of walking! twas so much easier to learn as a kid huh?
you gotta pretty that f**ker up! That's what I did with mine! I hate it but it's much prettier and less "clinical" now I've given it a make over!
I'm glad your leg is better though.

Three more days in Cologne, then we fly out on Thursday morning, so I should be back shooting my mouth off full-time by next week
Thanks for the update. So glad you had a good time in Amsterdam! Great to hear you've had some improvement already and can't wait for more positive news.

Well I made it back! Europe is beautiful and I love it there, but I'm exhausted and glad to be home ... I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. We're convinced that the hoteliers in Europe choose their mattresses based on what will drum up the most business for their in-house masseuses. They're hard as rocks (and we were staying in the Hilton!) and I woke up stiff and achy every day.
The last day of treatment there was a whole lot of no fun ... I had a pretty high fever and felt like shit all night long, so I wasn't able to do much my last day there except get wheeled down to our favorite restaurant and eat dinner.
I get my next CA-125 this coming Tuesday, which is probably too early to tell if the dendritic cells are working yet, since I just got the vaccine last Tuesday. I'm supposed to go back in a month, for a much shorter trip this time since I can't afford to go for 10 days every month. After 2 treatments, I'll get another CA-125 and hopefully I can talk my doc here into ordering another CT scan, and by then we'll know if it's making any difference or not. If it is, we'll find a way to keep paying to keep it up. If not .... well, that's pretty much it, because my chemo here isn't working at all. I don't remember if I posted it or not, but I got my last scan results right before I left and it shows that everything is growing. So these folks in Germany are my last hope, keep your fingers crossed

I'm keeping my fingers, eyes, toes -- even my LEGS -- crossed for you, honey!! Love ya,
Welcome home! I know what you mean about your own bed, there's nothing like it. We actually slept quite well in Germany but what we found interesting is that every bed was exactly the same! Even down to how they put the duvet on sideways. Rest up and give us some good results. Love ya.

Oh mom, I REALLY hope it works for ya... and if it does I know I, for one, and I'm sure there's many... hope you set up some kinda fund that maybe we can help out? I'm not saying you're a charity case but at least we'd know our money's DEFINITELY going to a good place

Don't worry Helen (and everyone else) ... if this works, and once I get to the point where taking a shower doesn't wear me out, I have BIG plans

So... not just fingers crossed. A new lil' spell may be in order **thinks which strong spell is the best**. Will sort that out for you. Maybe also something a bit more conventional like good and healing vibes ...
Aahh... hotel mattresses...
Big plans? London maybe? Though you will be fed up with Europe by then!
Seriously, why have mattresses at all? Who would notice? They're like rocks! And this is in a room that costs 600 EU per night! I shudder to think what the cheap places are like! I guess I'm gonna find out when I go back next month. We can't afford to be staying at Hiltons, a friend donated all of her Hilton points to us for this trip.
It's a trick to sell massages, I'm telling ya. I had to get one every 2 or 3 days just to be able to move.

I think we should discuss this politely over a few beers (i.e. whoever can drink the most without throwing up or going to sleep gets her )

... sorry dear Laura,
but I did not assume it was such a difficult situation and
I did not consider that Germans would be such help to you one day.
I do have cats in the house the first time ever the next three weeks,
the babies of a good friend who is going to namibia.
So, in case I, as another German could be of any help,
I'll be yours!
I am not sure if I can travel though ..
they talking about donate something, and I am fully into that,
I am living on the sunny side of life somehow,
by birth and all after.
and i could offer a whole guest house for some vacation.
Laura, I am writing this one in public cause I want to point out that I mean it!
In case you would like to visit Bavaria this time, for conquer some more of funny Europe,
I could cover some expenses,
although we have tough beds as well
As an owner of an guest house,
I am asking you to be my guest ... and the small town I am living in is great for some vacation, I tellya, the country side is just lovely, beautiful and stunning, ask eva7
pm me if you like the idea as much as I do and if I know your travel dates early enough, I am sure I can make it up north this time… just pm me…
love
