My doctor called this morning with the results from my most recent blood tests: There is still some cancer in my body. Based on what I’ve read, I expected this to happen. Still, the news left me almost speechless. I was hoping to be able to celebrate victory over cancer and my birthday at the same time. The victory part will have to be delayed for a few weeks. But it will happen.
I’ll be meeting with an oncologist soon to find out when the chemo will begin.
Don’t spend time worrying about me. The odds are very, very much in my favor. Continued prayers and support for my family would be appreciated, though. I can’t imagine how tough this must be on them.
Tonight, I have a date with the radiologist. Barium sulfate shakes are the only thing on the menu. Yum.
