I think summer has officially started! I finished my last chemo treatment last week and I'm still recovering. Oddly enough, I felt a little melancholy about the last one. I'm not sure why, maybe because for the last 5 months my life has revolved around doctors, appointments, scans, medications, nurses and entire days sitting in a chair while cancer fighting drugs slowly dripped into my veins. That was my "new normal" daily life. Now, things will once again change and for the better. My thought process is still slow, my body doesn't want to go for very long but it will recover over time.
The boys are out of school but will be doing summer school to catch-up on a couple of subjects. Not too much though. Zach will be taking a summer class too. Taylor will be getting his license soon. Summer camp is right around the corner. If I'm not careful I will blink and summer will be over. Clay is busy right now with work and life is good.
I'm just about finished reading a book called: Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo. It's a true story about his son. That's all I'm saying! I highly recommend it!
Have a great week, enjoy the sunshine and be kind to someone today!!
Getting ready to go have my PET scan done. I will be injected with something that makes me glow in the dark, just kidding. I will be injected then wait 30 minutes and then the scan. It's similar to a cat scan but takes about 1 hour or longer. I have to remain still on the table so the films aren't blurry. The staying still part is a little difficult and boring. Hoping for good news! I won't find out the results until later next week. I will also have a cat scan on Friday. If the cancer is still responding to the chemo then I will finish my last 2 treatments. If the cancer has not changed since the last scan then we will have to try something else, probably some type of stem cell transplant. Here's to hoping God's plans are to finish the chemo and be in remission! Whatever the outcome God is good all of the time!
