I had a fabulous fun-filled weekend and back to work again this rainy Monday morning. I received the results from my PET scan today: Totally Negative! What does that mean? Well, it means there isn't cancer floating around in other parts of my body and it's isolated to the rectum. Unfortunately, I still have to have treatment but at least the cancer was caught very early. Couldn't ask for better news.
This is a time for waiting for me. The scans are done. The port is in. Everyone is in stand-by. We are just waiting for the radiation formula to be completed. Hopefully later this week I will go for the simulation where they test all the calculations without giving any radiation. Once the simulation is successful, I will be ready to start my treatment. I am shooting to start on August 23. After all, the sooner I get started, the sooner I finish.
A lot of friends and family have been asking how I am feeling. Well, I'm feeling like I was before I found out I had cancer. I'm trying to stay active and continue as many activities as I can. My port site has healed and honestly I forget it's even there. Emotionally I'm doing well too. Yes, of course I have the moments of wondering why me, but over all I feel I am going to approach this journey with a positive attitude and just Ride the Wave.
Where's the "like" button when you need it? So happy to hear the great news today, what a breath of fresh air!
