For the last four years in Oct. I have been able to post that my cat scan was all clear but this year (the magic 5th,year) I was hoping to post the same and was surprised to hear there was a lesion on my liver. An MRI and fine needle biopsy showed mets to the liver which they said is very unusual after all this time and I start chemo on Monday. The pain came on suddenly after I picked up some heavy groceries so I attributed it to a pulled muscle. After a very quick exam that did not even include listening to my heart of chest, even tough I was having trouble breathing my primary care physician said it was a rotater cuff injury with referred pain and to take some celebrex. He and I have never been on the same page so I bit the bullet and went to another GP who could not believe he had let me out of the office without ordering X-Rays. I am now under very good care with a fabulous oncologist (voted the best in CT.) and I am hopeful that I will be able to extend my life. Ialways said I would not do chemo but I didn't like the alternative. I feel that I have to give it my best shot for my family. Some of you who have know me for a long time know how important my children, grandchildren and greatgrandson are to me.
I have been thinking about Zak's blog "I can do this standing on my head" and my brave sweet Claire and Pat who always has the answers. I might be asking you some questions.
