No Go on Zumeta Anymore
For about a week now, I've been feeling raggedly fatigued, weak, super achy and have been in lots of pain with my hips and back bones. On top of that, I've lost my voice, taste buds, have this terrible sore, burning feeling in my throat, as well as a cough and cold. It's thrown me for a complete loop and emotionally made me spaced out, feeling almost a little depressed. Even now as I am writing this, I'm still not recovered and still feeling all of these awful side effects. Definitely, Zumeta is not for me. Its drowning and slowly poisoning my insides thoroughly.
I did some research on Zumeta and didn't know about any of these horrible side effects until after receiving it. So, I've decided that I have to stop the Zumeta chemo treatment. So far I've only had one session of Zumeta, but the pain and side effects are just not worth it. I'm adamant about this and will refuse anymore of this terrible chemo. There's has to be better treatment options. I'll definitely call and let me Dr know tomorrow for sure. My Dr mentioned possibly exploring more radiation so I'm open to that.
Sold Fish Tank
After ten years of owning and maintaining his salt water reef fish tank, my husband sadly sold off his beautiful 180 gallon salt water fish tank this week. After moving it 2 times this year, he finally decided to sell it for almost nothing due to not having any time to upkeep it. It needed to be in a good home and so instead of piece mealing and selling parts of it, we decided it would be best to sell it all together as a complete set so that the new owner has all proper equipment and gadgets to "save" all the wonderful, beautiful corals, fishes and livestock. Our kids already miss seeing the tank. Here is the YouTube video of it if you would like to see what it looked like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAvK55wg6p4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
More House Hunting
It's surprising to us that the house buying market is still super HOT as ever! For several months now, we've been aggressively looking to purchase a single family home in the similar Evergreen Schools area of San Jose. We found a few homes we like and acted quickly with offers the next day or so after seeing the homes. With lots of hope and promise, we eagerly await the sellers' acceptance as we made offer after offer and so far we don't have any luck. We've already made 3 separate offers to homes we felt were "perfect" for us and the kids and on all three offers, we were outbid! It's so crazy out there.
We were so close to almost closing another 4th gorgeous home we made an offer on, and at the last minute, everything fell apart. Sellers and us, appraisels, inspections, banks, everything just fell through. Buying a home is so difficult nowadays. It's stressful.
Well, our road to house hunting has started to go a little smoother now. While out running errands, I happen to bump into a good old high school and college friend, Tung Nguyen, who I have not seen in twelve years. And may it be destiny or luck that we ran into him, it turns out Tung happens to successfully own his own real estate brokerage firm called Six Sigma Realty, http://sixsigmarealty.com/ right here in San Jose. With my three kids in toe and running around, Tung warmly reached out to me in one of the shopping aisle. We caught up a little and he expressed his regards and wishes on my unfair cancer condition. Through Facebook connections, he had learned of my story and had been following my blog and knew we were in search of a home.
So, he warmly offered his services to us and out of kindness, he will donate all commissions he would have earned to us as a way to help us and our family out. Wow. What a blessing! And what an amazing friend he is. I am so happy and thankful that we have met so many good hearted, loving people like Tung during this difficult time. Thank you Tung. Thank you for your big heart and support.
We look forward to working with Tung and so far, his expertise, professionalism, responsiveness, updated, quick, modern signature service has far exceeded our past services we received from our previous agent.
I hope we find a home before this 2011 year ends. It's one of my top priorities and goal to get done as I mainly would like for my kids to be settled in home we can call our own, literally and legally.
Specifically, my ultimate goal is to lay down the home foundation forefront, to plant the "roots" for the kids so that they can grow up in a good home with good neighbors, excellant public education and in the Evergreen area so that they can be close to my family. With a bit more luck and hope and a good agent, perhaps we will find the perfect home soon!
