I'm sorry I haven't posted anything sooner but between not feeling good and being super busy I haven't had a chance to gather my thoughts.
I had my CT Scan last week Tuesday. Imagine my surprise when the CT Tech told my I was "famous" within their department due to the last scan I had and the exploding IV (see posting around Aug 16 for more details). Seems they had a big department meeting and changed IV protocol due the little mishap. Glad I'm famous for something. CT scan went without a hitch and I was in and out in 30 minutes.
Chemo was the next day. I have to admit I nervously sat waiting for the doctor and the results trying to keep a brave face. Imagine my relief when the doctor told me that the tumors in my liver, lung and chest area showed shrinking. It had stayed stable for the last several months and I was happy with that. I had thought that maybe the chemo had met it's match and was just holding off the enemy. Remember stable is good. I'm never going to complain about stable. But shrinking is better - buys me more time. As I said before, although relieved and happy I don't get too excited since I know how fast things could change and knock you off that high. Let's just all put on our party shoes and do a quiet little happy dance and then back down to business,
Unfortunately they forgot to schedule an ECHO and I have to go back Monday to have it done.
Otherwise I've been tired and have had flu like symptoms which may be due to the Xgeva they give me for the bones.
Until I have more to tell you - enjoy the end of summer before we ave to trade in our flip flops for Uggs!
Keep on Dancin'
