Last week I finished cycle 8 of Drug X. Sixteen months of chemo treatment complete. Yay!
Today I had a follow-up appointment with the oncologist to review the CT scan of the chest and abdomen that I had performed last week. The CT scan was ordered (as it was explained to me) to "wrap this thing up with a pretty little bow". Hmm. No bow yet.
The CT scan showed "pulmonary nodules", some small spots on my lungs, which were "indeterminate". It's possible the spots were already there, but there's nothing to compare it to, so the oncologist wants me to have another CT scan in three months and return to see her.
Cancer is a bit of a rollercoaster ride and full of surprises. I was disappointmented by the news because I still have the port in and I have been eager to have it removed. Alas, that will not happen yet. Maybe three months from now.
God continues to take such good care of us through this whole journey, and I am very grateful for that. He can be trusted. I'm feeling a little stronger every day and my energy is returning.
And my sweet husband has been faithfully by my side through it all.
