really excited

I've been up for a few hours now. I saw my oncologist today, he was completely oblivious to Novalis Tx and the fact that there was one 15 minutes down the road. Novalis Tx is covered by my insurance and I have an appointment next week. What I'm most excited about though is the prospect of having my thyroid cancer treated. I seriously don't know why but it has always concerned me more than anything. My oncologist had the Novalis guy on the phone during my appointment and he feels confident I could benefit from treatment.
I don't plan on counting my chickens just yet but at least I got some eggs. I truly don't care if the cancer comes back. I feel pretty confident I can live with a significant amount of cancer in my body. I would just like to get rid of as much as I can, to sort of reset the countdown.
The Dr did mention a lifetime dose maximun. I don't know how many times I could get treated but I'm probably good for at least two rounds. That's probably an additional 2 years of life expectancy. I'm also looking forward to life without chemo. I can get Novalis concurrent with chemo. If they can clean me up, I'll continue chemo for a few months but I'll quit for the summer. That would be terrific.

In other news. We finally got the blizzard. We've had four snowfalls this year. That's the most I've experienced in my 30 years in SC. This one was pretty good, we've got about a foot right now. I rode my atv in it last night for a few hours. Luckily, this was my last night before having to restart chemo so I was feeling pretty good.

I feel really positive and I hope everyone will get to experience a little bit of hope with their next Dr visit.
