    Thank you. I'm mostly recovered. Just a persistent cough, but that's it.

    I am prepping for my C-T tomorrow, I don't know what to expect, most probably extreme nausea, uncontrolled vomiting, and more pain than I've ever endured before during my short life on this planet! Will I lose my beautiful flowing blonde locks and every other hair besides... Well, it's a huge looming probability... I can count on becoming frail and weak and easily suffer infections. Will I moan, sob, and cry? Probably not! But I will try to have faith, a good sense of humor, and keep a song in my heart! I have no regrets, I've never done a dirty to anyone, that goes for unintentional hurt as well unless they were sanctioned as enemies of the nations (First Nations-Canada-USA)

    Our Christian Legacy (Praying Indians)
    We were practicing Christians. Well before there was the USA!
    I am a descendant of Hendrick Auputamut, Sage (Sachem) Prophet and Chief of the Turtle Clan of the Mohegan-Mohican Stockbridge-Munsee Band of the Iroquois Nation! My true name is "Shining Spirit" (Sumowi Wucogah) but as a child, I was known as "Dancing Turtle" (Toyupahs Mutahkawin!) and when I was a soldier "Warrior Singer" (Waskitop Kittomawin) but only in venerated Warrior Ceremonies! I do not fear death, but will fight to keep living in this world! I am a child of many nations and possess a very diverse lineage from the "waters that are never still" and from across the sea! Some people here know of those other connections from across the sea because they are my most loyal and the truest of friends! Many are Mentors, who have my allegiance and implicit trust, I consider them as members of my innermost family and I bear great love for them all!

    :)Anna

    I will return when I am able to, and at the very least, just to check in!

    What was supposed to happen, did not transpire, as planned... I was prepared to follow through and possessed the resolve. When I conferenced with my Oncology Physician, just before "Chemo" was scheduled to start.

    Today, at my appointment with my Medical Oncologist, they found evidence of a Chromosomal Abnormality or defect. So, they've scrubbed the "C-T" for now. I will follow a different regimen instead, as a trial aimed at ridding my bone marrow and blood of those irregularities and abnormalities! This was a chance, to allow my body to correct itself with a tiny push or a little nudge to my genomes! By using a restricted use "tightly resourced pharmaceutical, that is usually administered to Myeloma patients and on rarest of occasions to people with my distinct problematic dilemma. Its brand name is REVLIMID (lenalidomide) It has a link to thalidomide. It may work, as (76%) of patients respond favorably, but if it doesn't show improvement, then the "Chemo" will be back on my schedule!

    Thank you, so much for the very kind remarks, but the restricted usage medication that I need to take will invariably turn me into a drooling idiot, and that I cannot abide, with being stripped of the little intelligence and wit that I've been blessed to possess, it's far too much for me to bear!

    It's for the best reasons, that I don't provide further degradation to IB, just for the vanity of being here! If I make it through the upcoming therapeutical sessions, I may come back to visit!

    (It is all dependent on... If I retain my current mental faculties!)

    I had a Cerebral event on the 24th of February 2015 and lost a full two-thirds of my vocabulary along with several foreign tongues. It really frightens me, having to embrace my becoming a dullard! Don't get me wrong, most people are highly intelligent in their given field, in other words, I firmly believe that everyone possesses both the ability and the drive to be a genius in their own right!

    I was raised in an extended family of academians and received an ongoing educational exposure at home! We experienced an amped up super Montessori type of education, learning was fun, and non-stop, my Pater held several functional Doctorates, but primarily he was an Anthropologic Psychologist. He was in high demand worldwide, so our family accompanied him on every one of the International Lecture Circuits! He worked with many of the great minds of his day, Heck! He even had a man-crush on Thor Heyerdahl and was a supplicant to many of "Uncle Thor's" research projects! (The first book that I ever read was Thor Heyerdahl's "Kon-Tiki!")

    The rest of my family were highly educated in their own right, too! I highly suspect that we were involved in a "Control Group" experiment because of all of the different aspects of our affectionate and educational perspicacity!
