I called over to the breast center at MD Anderson and told them about the possible progression. A little while later I got a call back saying they were moving my scans up to June 5th, with doctors visit on June 6th (they were originally scheduled for June 24th). I hope me and the local oncologist are wrong and the scans show something different, but my gut feeling and the symptoms make me doubt the scan will disagree.
June 4th is my cancerversity, or the date I was originally diagnosed with cancer. It's amazing to believe I've been living with this disease for 5 years now. And even more amazing, to think I may be living with it for the rest of my life.
If you are using a computer to access my blog, you should see the new count up widget I added, below the "about me" section, which shows the time that has progressed since my initial diagnosis in 2009.
Here's a link to my original post when I started this blog on June 5, 2009:

ReplyDeleteHope you don't mind, but I turned your name in as a prayer request at my Wednesday night group -- figured some extra good vibes going up for you couldn't hurt.
