A Healthy 2010

I remember the beginning of 2009, I was thinking finally the year that ends the cancer. I have a tendency to think that each year, and that is what I am thinking this year. Last year started with the cancer just being blown up and great oncology plans which all came to pass, then the goofball cancer did it's regular thing and revved all up again. The end of 2009, certainly is going the same way, there have been a few bumps, with the sinus infection, and extra scans, but still the chemo was doing it's job at the last PET scan, and fast too. You have to love that response and it keeps me all positive for more chemo and gettin' 'er done.

So now this week, I feel like is a key moment, January 7-8, it is scan time, I should receive the 5th treatment in a series of 6 chemos. In this appointment, we get to talk to the oncologist (finally), a PET scan, and then we get to consult with some other team for a possible procedure, I will share that if it comes to pass otherwise just know I HATE to be poked and prodded, and under anesthetic.

My hope and prayer for the coming days is for an AWESOME PET scan. Craig has tried to prepare me for a not super awesome response because I had to wait for more chemo with the sinus infection, and even this next appointment has been delayed a week because of the holidays, and his thought is waiting may not have provided as much response as usual. We'll see. I still have high expectations. This is a pivotal point because most likely it will decide if there will be another 6 chemos, if I have to have a procedure, and there is a really important question to answer which is what is the care going to be when this PET scan is squeaky clean. Lots of stuff. I hope for good answers and continued health blessings. If you pray, I would love it if you thought of me this week.
