It’s Shrinking!!
Guess where I am right now? I am in the hospital!! Woot! Woot! I went in this morning to have my CT scan done. Afterwards we headed up to see the doctor. First, I had to get my lab work done, which is having blood drawn and peeing in a cup. Karen, the RN, stated she would access my port to draw the blood. I asked her if it was going to hurt. “Won’t hurt me”, she replied. That had me laughing. She said some people said it hurts a little and some say don’t feel a thing. Well, let me tell you, those people who say they don’t feel anything are liars. I felt something alright. It felt like someone pushed a push-pin into my chest, twice. However, it was nice knowing I won’t be poked for a while.
Dr. Read was very happy with my scans. He said he would have been happy if the tumor had just stopped growing but for it so have shrunk a little, he was very excited. Made me and the family very happy to hear him say that. He also said that I would have four total treatments. After that we will look at the tumor and see if it can be surgically removed or if they can zap it with radiation. We are crossing our fingers for the surgery.
I am all checked in and am waiting for my RN, Theo (got a big hug from him), to start my chemo. As with last time, I won’t be able to post any pictures but I am taking them for a “hospital photo” post when I get back. Thanks again for all your prayers and positive vibes.
Great news! That should give you some umph to get through the next treatment.
So happy for you all !! Always thinking of you.
A great positive way to start the next round. You’re kicking cancer’s ass, well done!
Oh, this makes me so happy! Die you little F*%$er, DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Shay!
It is a great day! Power of positive thinking. It was raining when we came back to the house, I think we are mildewing. Have a great evening. Lots of love momee
What excellent news!! I have the Prosecco chilling and will be lifting one (or 4) in honor of that sucker shrinking. Hang tight, girl! You are showing it who’s boss!
Great news! 4 more treatments sounds a lot better than 6 or whatever they told you earlier. Hang in there..,
Great news Shay! Keep up the positive attitude……..which I know you will……Ports can be bothersome; but, thank goodness there are such things…..imagine if they had to poke you every time they needed to give you meds, or draw blood, etc.
Wine definitely will be the drink of the day when this is over……just let me know when….and I will “toast” you and yours at the same time! Will keep fingers crossed for you, along with my good wishes and vibes sent your way!!!
Along with your photography talent, it looks like you are great at kickboxing cancer too! We are praying you to ” Win the Gold” ,setting works records! By Monday, you will be half way through chemo. You go girl! An inspiration to us all!
Your news is such a major relief—so, so glad to hear it.
I am so happy to hear this news Shay! I’ve thought of you every day, you’re a personal inspiration!
Thanks SK! I am going to want to come in at at least hit the tread mill. Then work out with you. Need to get stronger that is for sure.
