This past week has been a wonderful break from all meds. My doctor took me off everything until I am able to find out about findings from the CT scan from the oncologist. I told my husband "If this week is a prelude to how I am going to feel after my treatment is over - it will have been so worth it!" I have felt physically great - emotionally, well, that's another story. Waiting to see some one to find out if you have cancer....waiting to see when you have to go back on the poison that is supposed to cure you....hoping that your time off treatment doesn't hinder your progress....is it a reacurrance of my breast cancer from 20 years ago (I guess it can lay dormant for 30+yrs.).....is it a new cancer....what's going to happen....
Finally got into the oncologist yesterday to further evaluate the lymph nodes and nodules. I was really impressed with his demeanor and passion for results. My husband was impressed as well, he says I am good hands! After talking with the doctor and an exam, he decided to have me go in for a PET scan. He is concerned and promised me that we will find the answer to what this is. He also assured me that if it a metastasize cancer, it is most likely in the early stages and will be treatable. Today they will let me know when I go in for the PET scan - then 2 days later I will get the results.
GOD made me a strong woman. He grants me the serenity to accept the thing I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference....
but patience...........well, that's another story..........please keep me in your prayers - I believe they are working :)
