This is probably the longest I have gone without blogging. Sorry guys! I guess the most important thing you want to know is the results on my CT scan. Well, that's gonna have to wait! Lets see. I have been working a bit more. that has been really nice. It is always good to feel productive. I've been really busy hanging with my girls. That is always fun! The other day it was nice enough out that we were able to go to the barn and visit the horses. We brought a bag of carrots with us and made our rounds. I felt like every horse I went by, reached out his head to me in a sort of hug. Can horses hug? These can. We then went to see Gnomio and Juliet. Very cute movie. Much cuter than I expected that is for sure!
Today I am pretty tired. For good reason I suppose. Monday was cat scan day and then lunch with one of my fellow cancer survivors. Tuesday, I went to work.Wednesday I had chemo, which was supposed to start at 10:45 but was bumped to 1:00pm that morning. I had to drop off my car to have it serviced, picked it up after chemo and went straight to my Bible study. Thursday I went to work and then Friday the kids had their testing at school and then we ran around and enjoyed the day. So, today, I am tired. I did manage to take the kids to the ridge to swim and then to Aunt Anna's to wrap up polish roses. I will be going to bed as soon as the Easter Bunny makes her appearance.
So, about my CT scan. My doctor says that my liver tumor is "perfectly stable", there is no new growth anywhere, although a few of my lung spots grew maybe a millimeter in size. Can we get a hip hip hurray?!!! We are continuing the same chemo, sending off a chunk of my liver biopsy to have it tested for another specific chemo treatment and he has referred me out to another oncologist at the University to discuss clinical trials. That is the plan. Except for being tired today, I have felt really great! My side effects are minimal, sleeping pretty good and eating great! What more can you ask for? God bless you all!
HipHip hooray! Keep fightin'-you're going to win!
ReplyDelete"My doctor says that my liver tumor is 'perfectly stable' . . . ." It seems a bit ironic that the only thing in your life that IS stable is your &#%*@! tumor. You can't even claim that your family and friends are stable, since I've met some of your family and friends and they're as cracked as anything!
ReplyDeleteAnd you? You keep going around claiming to have been hugged by horses and you might spend your chemo in a padded jacket that makes you hug yourself really tightly. "No, doctor, you don't understand, the horsies love me, they really love me. Wheeeeee!" (dissolves into mad giggles)
Just glad you're having a good time and especially that you're back to work. I know from personal experience the value of doing something productive after a long absence. Unfortunately, in my case, I haven't been able to do anything productive in years. Don't tell HR--they're still paying me to show up. Suckers!
So pat your tumor on the head with one hand for behaving while flipping it the bird behind your back for not going away completely. You're a woman, so such contradictory behavior is pretty much expected. Oh, SNAP!
