Dear Friends...
Guess it's time I fess up and tell you why I think Life is so Good.....
Life is full of surprises that we all have to take in stride and live with. I have been feeling great the past year and a half since my first bout of Cancer and the end of 2 rounds of Chemo....
So, how can someone who feels strong, with loads of energy and pretty good stamina for someone my age have demons growing inside and not feel them???
A CT Scan in March showed an area of interest, another CT Scan 2 weeks ago showed the tumors had doubled in size and have some little 'buddies'...they are highly suspicious for metastatic deposits...Likely Cancer. Today I went to the Roger Maris Cancer Center in Fargo and had a PET Scan...it will pick up any other 'hot spots' and help my Doctors decide what treatment to take.
So...what makes Life so Good??? The fact that we live in an age of such great medical practices....that tumors can be detected before they cause any pain and that they are nipped in the bud. I am very fortunate that I feel so healthy and strong and have the will to lick this thing...again.
I will be awaiting the Doctors reports and will do anything they want to try to get this small hurdle crossed.
So...probably in a few weeks I will be fighting a battle of some sort and may not be checking in as usual...or may be here more...time will tell.
I know you guys will be in my corner fighting with me. Right ow I don't know any more that what I have said here....so hang in there with me...I will keep you all Posted....
Thanks for being here....and remember Life is Good!!!
Live it with all your heart....Take care of yourselves....don't let the little aches and pains go by without looking into them and having them taken care of....and...have good health insurance.
Life is indeed Good!!!!
