Dr. P has reviewed my records and believes that there is a radiation option for the tumor in my abdominal muscle. My next set of scans is scheduled for March 6th so he'll be taking a look at those to confirm his decision. With very little chemo over the past few months, I have a lot of anxiety about those scans. I can only hope that there won't be any additional growth anywhere else.
I've always said that a stage IV cancer diagnosis is like one big emotional (and physical) roller coaster. Up, down, left, right... life often feels out of my own control. Furthering that analogy, the past couple of weeks have felt like the corkscrew on the coaster... upside-down, backwards, who knows what is next. I was talking with a friend about it the other night and she added, "yeah like now your head is banging side to side on the headrests." Exactly.
But enough heavy talk, it's my birthday and I'm going to go out and celebrate all the positive things that I do have in my life!
