I got the results back from the most recent pet scan yesterday and my cancer is on the run! There are a lot of tumors in my lungs, liver and bone but they’re all shrinking. A couple of tumors are down as much as a centimeter which were three centimeters and October! The Dr. declared that the cancer is in remission and I will sort out to the best of my ability what exactly that means in a minute but for now a little rejoicing!!!
A close friend that I sent the good news to by text yesterday wrote back the response “prayers answered”. Yeah? Maybe! I know for damn sure that it didn’t hurt at all that sent me your loving thoughts and well wishes in your prayers. And once I understood the power of prayer some 20 years ago I became very fond of saying that even if it doesn’t help the person that I am praying for, I know for sure that it’s helping me to be doing the praying. But still for sure I’m not out of the woods yet.
We still have chemo treatments to do and I still need to find out at the next chemo treatment which is February 21 what exactly and it all means? Does she think we can wipe out every cancer cell? Will the pain and fatigue ever go away? With enough exercise, the right diet, and whatever other things I need to do can I ever get back to anything resembling normal health or has that ships sailed for good?
The one thing I do know is I have to start living my life as though it’s going to last a long time which means a source of income so if you know anybody that wants to access a very competent and experience therapist at a buck a minute using secured on-line sessions, I’m available.
Meanwhile if anything changes and/or after I talk with the Dr. on the 21st I will share more. Thanks so much for all your support and well wishes.
