Oreganos!
Dave, Tannis and I went to Oreganos to celebrate! And I could taste it!!! The results of the tests were as good as was possible. No signs of cancer. Dr. Chang still wants me to do Chemo. She wants me to start this week, but will let me wait 2 weeks until after Tannis' graduation. She told us about a Lymphoma specialist at the U of A in Tucson who may have a clinical trial that I may be a candidate for. I am checking that out ASAP, in fact Dave left a message for him today. I really like Dr. Chang. I like how she encourages me to weigh my options, instead of insisting I do what she says. For the Chemo, I will have to have a port installed and a heart test. And I'll be shopping for a wig. None of this would be my choice of activities, but I need to get over all that and move forward and do what I gotta do.

So happy to hear it was the best possilbe news! Are you getting a port under the skin? Lorin just had his replaced. We love it, keeps you from getting poked and prodded too much.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that the news was good. The waiting and wondering is really the hardest part. Although chemo isn't really fun either. But you feel like you're doing something. It somehow feels better than sitting around waiting. The port is a good idea. And wigs are weird. :) But getting ready is fast. One day at a time. Just keep breathing and moving forward.
ReplyDeleteI should probably have said that this is Valarie Green. :)
