There is always hope

Lou Ann M

Today I saw my Medical oncologist to discuss and make plans.  The only tumor that is growing is the one in my chest, so,that can be treated with radiation, and since Keytruda is keeping the other two stable, we can go back to using that again when radiation is finished.  My oncologist was able to get me in to,see the radiologist right after my appointment with him.  The radiologist thinks he will be able,to radiate that tumor failrly easy.  He thinks about 12 times.  The schedulers were able to get me into a planning session on a Monday..  I am so very thankful for the team of doctors that I have.  I have been so blessed.

Hugs and prayers, Lou Ann

I too, am a nurse, who worked

I too, am a nurse, who worked during the early years of when you had cancer, chemo was the only option, and it was so horrible, no one wanted to do it.  Am thankful, they have made some progress on that treatment.  I am recuperating from surgery and expect to begin chemo soon.  All those things I taught patients about are the things I'm doing myself now - pain management, bowels, splinting when I cough, etc.  Sure gives you a different perspective.  I'm still working and I don't believe I will ever look at patients the same way again.

Blessed!

i love to read your updates Lou Ann! You are amazing and inspirational.  I am only just beginning my journey but each time you and others share I can see the light closer and closer down that long tunnel of what seems like darkness!  Sending prayers. And I too could not feel more blessed with the most amazing medical team.  I have heard great things about Keytruda!
