🎗 Update 🎗

Hello everyone ♥️ I know you all were waiting yesterday for my update, so I wanted to apologize in the delay. I took some time to process the call with my #family.
.
.
.
My call was intended for 1:45, but the #oncologist called 20 minutes early. We talked about my latest appointments with the #rheumatologist and my family doctor. I am in fact diagnosed with beginning stages of #rheumatoidarthritis 😑 No biggie though, something I can work through.
.
.
.
The next part of the call… well, we discussed the results of my latest ct scan. For the most part, I’m really happy and #grateful. 95% of my cancer is completely clear. LIKE GONE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️ The large #tumour that was over 5 cm in length is gone, as well as my right #lymphnodes is completely clear. However….

She mentioned that my left lymph node, the side they gave the largest dosage to, isn’t completely gone. It’s shrunk, which is great, but it’s still on the scan. The part now, is she is unsure if the actual lymph node even contains cancer, the damage itself could just be showing up on the ct scan. Sooooo, here’s what’s next….
.
.
.
My next step is, I take another #scan. This time I’m being booked for a pet scan. The #petscan will determine if that lymph node is still active. I will find out about that appointment soon. I do remember it from last year though. They give you water that taste like it came from the vacuum. You have to drink the full cup, then sit for an hour without moving. After the test you go for another ct scan.

I talked with the doctor about her level of concern and what the plan might be should it be cancer… and she mentioned she isn’t really concerned at this point. Should it be cancer, I would have another round of #chemo. I won’t qualify for #radiation / #brachytherapy because I’ve exhausted my limit of radiation the body can handle at the moment. 🙏🏻♥️

So, news is news. I’m gonna label this as good news. 95% of my cancer is completely gone and the last piece is unknown but shrinking regardless 🙏🏻♥️ As always, I’ll keep posted 😘
