What a wonderful weekend in Chicago. The weather was unbelievable - sunny and warm. It felt renewing to get outside and soak up some of the warm from the sun. This is the week..... I keep telling myself that I can't get all bent out of shape when I know a scan is coming but its hard not to worry. It's hard to explain but things in the past I took for granted and didn't think twice about, like twinges, aches and pains, are now amplified because I don't know if its the cancer growing and spreading. My left ankle hurt so bad Saturday night I could hardly walk on it. Even when I was off it it throbbed. Thankfully by mid-morning Sunday it was better. However, this morning my left knee was bothering me and it was hard to get up the stairs. Of course this could all be caused by the added chemo they put me on two weeks ago. Wednesday morning is my PET scan to see is the chemo is working. Please keep me in your thoughts. I'm hoping that by the time I have my chemo Wednesday afternoon that they will have the results. I'll let you know as soon as I know. Until then - Doreen
