Weekend Update - 3/4/16

To get this party started I am going to start out with some very good news. The preliminary scan results are all negative … no evidence of disease. All of my blood tests were also very positive, indicating no problems/issues at this time. So, cancer wise, at this time, aside from my thyroid, everything is looking good and I feel, well, fine. Now that was a sentence was a sentence. I am due for ongoing tests/scans as time passes and the treatment of my radiation proctitis will continue, especially later this month when I go in for my flexible sigmoidoscopy. I will still have to do the same prep work you have to do for a colonoscopy. And there was much rejoicing ….… not. Everything else continues on and I am doing my best to do my part to stay here on planet earth as long as possible. As some of you know it takes me awhile to “process” news regarding me. So I am sure in the coming week I will be feeling many more happy happy feelings. I must also say I did enjoy my two week vacation from the doctors and hospitals. Going back was different in that I became even more conscious of having medical conditions which require ongoing treatments. It was very pleasant to not be reminded of some my medical issues for a little while. A note for the men out there …….. please go get your prostate checked out. Once again … in closing, the reality of my financial situation continues to be what it is…. not good. I am asking all to give what you can and to remember that no amount is to small. Every little bit helps. I am living month to month, and without the support I have received I would not still be living in my home. A big “THANK YOU” to all who have shared their experience, strength, hope, time and resources. Your time and gifts are, as always, greatly appreciated and needed. ***Please note that the 12/3/15 post in my blog is one which I encourage you to share freely.*** Please read and share my story.
