Hi everyone,
I hope everyone's holidays were happy ones...ours were
As I posted we went to Mayo's just before Christmas for my 9 month check up. The oncologist was letting me off of the bonescan, but I had the chest CT, pelvic MRI, labs and a still film of the bone tumor in my shoulder. Here's what they found...
The shoulder tumor is almost 6 cm but they are sure it is benign.
The lung nodules seem to be stable and they didn't ask to biopsy.
The neo and kidneys seem to be fine.
They found a bone lesion on one of my hips in the MRI. They wanted to do a CT guided biopsy of it, but the CT couldn't pick it up yet as it is only 1 cm.
The plan has been to wait a few weeks - do a bonescan to see if there are any other lesions. Biopsy the lesion. If it's the only one we could do targetted radiation. If there are more he leaned towards systemic chemo. Seemed like an ok plan then, but I have been wondering...
I think I would like to get a full scan within the next week or two rather than giving this more time to become more intimidating. If it is the only one - then we can continue the plan, but if it isn't we could start treatment sooner which would be a bigger benefit to my survival. Right? I sure would like some thoughts here if you have something to share.
Today I get my 1st B12 shot
My B12 has been as low as 126. I get confused alot and easily, can't remember lots of stupid stuff, and feel way off. My husband fears dementia is near and has begged and bribed me to get a shot. (He can't believe with all I went thru since DX that I fear what he calls "a little shot")This weekend I get a new coffee table and end tables!!
My shrinky dink lady wants me to have a warrior name for this fight, that it will help me mentally. Zena is overdone, and I need some suggestions.
Thank you, and God Bless, Holly
