Great news… ❤️
Results from my CT are in. I met with my oncologist this morning and she reports that the big spot on my lung has shrunk by several millimeters (it started out at 33mm). ❤️🙏
Also, several smaller nodules in my lung have started to shrink, along with the spot on my lymph node. Unfortunately, they did find an additional spot on my sternum they didn’t detect before (the probable cause of my chest pain) but she said it’s also responding favorably to chemo.
The spot on my vertebrae actually measured bigger, but she said it’s likely scar tissue from healing. I have a strong feeling my back is responding favorably to the chemo because my back feels so much better this week. Something is going right, I can feel it!
Looks like I ended on Track B (see previous blog). No sharks, just fuzzy puppies and warm blankets.
In fact I did go home after my appointment and immediately crash on my couch with my two fur babies and a comfy blanket. I set my timer for 20 minutes but woke up almost two hours later from a deep and peaceful nap. My mind and body were completely exhausted from the long wait this week.
Lots to be thankful for!! ❤️🙏
So what’s next?
My oncologist is going to consult again with my radiologist to see if they still want to go forward with radiation next week or go straight back into chemo.
The main goal for radiation was pain management. Her initial hope was that my back would respond well to chemo and we could avoid radiation.
So, again she’s going to consult with the radiologist and get back to me ASAP on the plan for next week. I may not know until Monday morning at 9 AM what the plan will be for the upcoming weeks.
I’m OK with this unknown. In fact I really appreciate that my doctor wants to consult with other professionals before going forward with a plan. That’s the kind of collaboration we need!
I’m so happy and grateful for this news.
This is just one more step on a long journey… but I’m feeling really positive!
Again, I want to thank my mom and Brad for being with me at every appointment. You are my rocks! And thanks to friends and family for the ongoing love, prayer and positive thoughts. Your support and encouragement throughout this journey have been priceless. ❤️
Thanks again and have a fabulous weekend, everyone!
Love & Blessings Always,
Jammie ❤️😘
