Somehow, I haven't updated since October 2019. I'm updating so that I can keep track of cancer things in one place. It's hard to believe it's been almost 2 years of just living life. Even if life got a little strange for the entire WORLD during the Covid pandemic. I have to admit, I enjoyed every second of our cancelled calendar! I'm a huge planner by nature, so it was such a nice break to be forced into a life of no plans. No social commitments, no school, NOTHING. It was lovely to just BE, even if it included a ton of masks and hand sanitizer. 😅😷
I was only supposed to get scans if symptoms presented themselves or if blood numbers looked off. Since then, I've had a couple of lung nodules that they've had to keep an eye on, so I was moved back to scans every quarter. I had a CT scan and blood work today. One thing I've learned, is that as time goes on, these things don't get easier. The anticipation of the results is worse than the anticipation I had just before I was diagnosed. Maybe it's due to the fact that you have an idea of what you'll be up against? Something that anyone that has been touched by cancer has to learn to live with... It's a excellent way to keep your perspective and gratitude in check- ALWAYS. 💛
I haven't seen the full report, but my amazing nurse sent me this blurb from the CT report:
1. No evidence of metastasis in the chest.2. Previously identified 0.2 cm right lower lobe nodule is not seen on this exam.
