Faith!

My PET scan lite up like a Xmas tree and on paper my prognosis is bad but I am still here and yes I lean on my faith, prayer and family & friends for support.

You ask about strength but what else can you do but move forward and hope and pray that the treatment will stop the progression and give more time. Looking at me you would never know I have cancer and mets (other than my pixie cut after having a bob for 3 decades lol!!).

So I continue on this journey and am thankful I can talk to you all and learn from those of you who also are fighting mets. 

I think all of us are strong and show strength just by dealing with this disease 'cancer'. So one day at a time and I am just thankful for every blessed day. xoxo

Pinky, I am also sorry you

Pinky, I am also sorry you have to go through treatment AGAIN, but at least no surgery, right?

I echo what MAbound wrote about your strength in fighting this. It is truly amazing how you and others get up and keep fighting. I commend you for that.

I have nothing but respect for you coming to this board to post your updates and struggles admist the physical, mental & emotional turmoil.

Your journey educates, soothes & gives hope to others.

I wish you nothing but peace & recovery.

Kathy

Biopsy Result

I got the biopsy result this morning on the ulcerations that were found in my transverse colon.  Unfortunately, they weren't caused by taking Aleve, as I'd thought they might have been.  They were caused by the metastasis of my UPSC again.  I went for my 5th high dose radiation treatment today, which has been going really smoothly.  I'm often out of there in 5 minutes.  I happened to see the radiation oncologist in the hallway as I was leaving, and I told him that the GI doctor had told me that the ulcerations were caused by cancer.  He asked if it was endometrial cancer again, and I told him it was.  He said that was good, as they wouldn't need to be dealing with anything else.  I'll be seeing my oncologist's PA on Thurs. morning, and I'm sure I'll find out then when I'll be starting chemo.  My radiation ends on Tues., so I won't be surprised if chemo starts on Wed. if they have an opening.  The Cancer Center looked pretty busy today, so I'm not sure if they will.  

Dang!

Sorry Pinky that you have to go through this again.    Hugs!!!

Strength

I told my husband after my last surgery (and after my second six day hospitalization) that I wasn't going to go through this again.  I was referring to the surgery.  I can deal a lot better with chemo, at least with the ones I've previously had, than I can with surgery.  I'm not sure how I'll be feeling about it now that I'm having a third chemo drug added.  I hope I don't have more severe reactions.  

To be honest, at first I thought about not wanting to go through any of this again.  I had the greatest urge to just run away somewhere, but I knew it would just follow me there.  But when I thought about the alternative to treatment, being 6 foot underground in a coffin in the cold ground, and having a lot of pain before I ended up there, treatment seemed like the better alternative. I hope I haven't offended anyone whose prognosis isn't good by that comment. We all have to die sometime, but we'd all rather have it be somewhere way off in the future rather than now.

Always good to hear from you,

Always good to hear from you, Pinky, and glad that the treatment is thus far tolerable. Best always, B
