life is sure looking up! Got to go fishing today

thursday

Had my PET scan today. Will see the doctor in a coupla weeks for the results.
They inject radioactive isotopes into your veins then you get to sleep for an hour before they do the scan. I am good at sleeping so it was no big deal.
My cells are obviously coming back well because I am feeling great. I am planning to go fishing tomorrow with Tom and Donnie. My first day back on a boat since being diagnosed and I cannot wait!

what's next

Now that I am done with my chemotherapy people are asking what is next.
This Thursday I am having a PET scan. I have an appointment April 6th to get the results from the scan. If all is clear then I will start with my 33 daily radiation treatments. As far as I know they will keep my port in for quite awhile so if there is a change in my health, it will be there. I just need to get it flushed out every month so it stays clear. Still smiling ;-) whenever I think of being done with chemo. That was miserable!!! My cells feel like they are coming back up. Went to a stretching class this morning. It is embarassing to be in with 90 year old women who can grab their ankles. I can hardly reach my knees anymore.

sunday

Still can't believe that I am done with my chemo treatments! Will take a few more days to get my strength back but get a big smile on my face everytime I think....NO MORE CHEMO!
