Wow, I can't believe it has been 10 days since I have posted my thoughts. A lot has happened in those 10 days. First, and happiest, my PET/CT scan came back with very good news. My cancer is almost gone. The cancer is gone from my two bones and my lymph nodes are almost back to normal. I only have to do 5 chemo treatments instead of the original 6 which means I only have one more chemo treatment to go. Everyone say 'Yeah!' I was very happy about the results and I am glad my husband was there to share in the good news (thanks sweetie). It made my having to go through another chemo treatment much easier.
This past chemo treatment seemed harder to get through. The nurses had trouble finding a vein (on both days) for the IV and everything just seemed to take longer. I am also having a hard time with the nausea. Even on my anti-nausea medication I am queasy most of the day. I was sitting on the plane between Seattle and Ketchikan when I realized I was going to be sick. I ran to the bathroom and let me just say NEVER throw up in an airplane bathroom. It is awful.
I also lost my breakfast today between Craig and Klawock. I pulled over quickly and zipped out of the car. This chemo is starting to kick my butt. I am happy I only have one more session. The first night I was in Seattle we drove by the cancer clinic and I could feel myself get queasy. It will take many years for those memories to go away.
I have some decisions to make about what to do after I finish chemo. I have three choices and I need to spend the next month doing some internet research before meeting with my oncologist again and making a decision.
Please pray for a very long remission.
Thanks for reading.

ReplyDeleteYou are on prayer lists all across the country. Aunt Margie called last night to say Laurie told her the good results from the PET scan, and she prays for you every night. I am so sorry you got sick yesterday, because I worked really hard on that English muffin. Yes, it's all about my English muffin. I hope that the nausea is starting to diminish today. We love you.
