Colleen's Obfuscation: December 2009
http://colleensobfuscation.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Trogdor, sliced diced and spiced! At long last, I figured out how to get access to Colleen's Blog to post an update. The moral is,don't ever rely on a heavily medicated woman to give correct information. In her previous post she gave all of the recent details about her treatment so I'll pick up from last Thursday. I hollered, "Score to be you! She went into surgery at 1:37 in the afternoon, by the way, winning for me two chocolate eclair from the diabetic bakery because Coll...

Colleen's Obfuscation: Back to work! Early mornings, YUCK!
http://colleensobfuscation.blogspot.com/2009/01/back-to-work-early-mornings-yuck.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2009. Early mornings, YUCK! I returned to work full-time this past Monday. I've done ok, but right now have a massive belly ache because I think I over did it today. But I got a lot done. :). After the two weeks are up, and if I'm showing improvement on my symptoms, I'll start getting the once-monthly shots from the doctor's office. I'm glad to get moving on this. In my case, the "watch and wait" approach was as valid as trying surgical removal, which didn't work out for me. Now...

Colleen's Obfuscation: September 2008
http://colleensobfuscation.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2008. Full-moon Gilberts. move over! Yesterday, I went to my appointment with Dr. Patil. My primary Oncologist. Mom and Lori came also because I am their only entertainment. I had hoped that a definitive treatment plan would come out of this visit, but alas. That wasn't to be. Everything rides on the Octreotide. Scan being performed next Wednesday. This scan will definitively state whether my primary cancer is a carcinoid. There are three possible scenarios. I'm scheduled for a fo...

Monday, September 7, 2009. It's been a while since I last posted. In short, I've been getting it in the shorts, one shot at a time. It's time for me to have my one-year scans to see how Trogdor is fairing, or not fairing. On Wednesday, I'll get a CAT scan at Newberg Providence and on Thursday and Friday, a repeat of the Octreotide scan (remember Brent from last year? This year, it will be at St. Vincent, so no Brent.

http://colleensobfuscation.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-ate-his-liver-with-some-fava-beans.html
Saturday, November 7, 2009. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. -hannibal lecter. Well, its time to update my blog. This fall, I had some follow-up scans and tests to see how Trogdor was doing. Since last February '09, I've been taking Octreotide shots, which are a biological shot intended to keep my carcinoid tumor from producing the hormone serotonin. While the cancer isn't running rampant in my luscious body, my symptoms haven't really improved. So. The really REALLY great news is...

Colleen's Obfuscation: January 2009
http://colleensobfuscation.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2009. I know that my niece, Roxanne, would rather I use this energy elsewhere, but I must vent and spout for a few moments. Late on Christmas evening, my youngest niece, Roxanne, and her husband, Noah, were walking along Wynooski Road from a friend's house to their house. Noah was hit from behind by an unknown driver in a truck, who left the scene without stopping. This story has appeared in many newspapers and on TV, requesting information on the driver. Early mornings, YUCK! I ret...

Friday, December 19, 2008. I have a hole in my belly, and my sister is stuffing it! I went back to see Dr. Wolf, because of the belly fluid problem. Also, because of my abdominal pain. He said that I probably have a low grade infection. McDreamy opened me up and then he poked around inside my belly. This is how it went. He would have mowed it nicely too! Wednesday, December 17, 2008. The one and only name is Trogdor. I got a call from several friends in Idaho today who reminded me that I hadn't updated t...

Colleen's Obfuscation: October 2008
http://colleensobfuscation.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 19, 2008. I have a text book cervix. and other fun ditties. In the midst of all this cancer stuff, I had to go in for my annual obgyn exam. My PA, Christie, asked me if I would allow a student from George Fox University to sit in on this exam. So, I told her that if this gal wanted to see me in all my exposed glory, then she deserved what she got. As Christie was getting a sample from my cervix, she called the student over. Have you ever seen a cervix? No, I haven't.". Sure she can.".
