CT Scan Update

My nurse emailed me today and let me know that my CT scan didn't find any cancer. YEAH!!!! 💃 The 4mm lung lesion that they found a year ago had resolved itself. However, the 5mm cyst in my pancreas is still there. Thankfully, she said that "cysts are usually benign" and that it had not changed in size. They will be referring me to a Gastrointestinal doctor at MD Anderson (because I don't have enough!!! 😂) that will decide how we should move forward.

I'll get a call within the next 2 weeks to schedule my exchange surgery where they will swap the expanders for implants. One of the MANY great things about MD Anderson is the fact that they schedule every single appointment for me.  The scheduler coordinates with the different departments (oncology, reconstructive surgery, chemo suite, scans, blood etc...), and they make my appointment on days that I'll already be there. I feel so lucky that all I have to do, is just show up. One less thing to worry about!

It has almost been 5 months since my last chemo and hair is growing! I even got my first haircut since I shaved it in February (first shave was in Dec. 2017). I have dreams about my hair being as long as it was! I'm hoping that I can be done with wigs and hats by next October.

Thank you to the beautiful souls in my life that continue to check on me!! I feel the love and I'm so grateful for it. 💓
