What's next

I have been the good little trooper through all this. Today when I went for my check up, Dr.C mentioned the spot on my L 4 that has been there this whole time. Nothing
Ike a little bone cancer to brighten your day! It has never changed but the radiologist interpreted it differently this time, so I am having a bone scan. Not surprising the cancer had spread to my lungs so the bones are a logical progression. Disappointing. One other thing to deal with. The drug they are giving me is Zometa. It helps the bones from fracturing and it helps contain the cancer. A side effect although rare, is it deteriorates your jaw. I have agreed to be a part of a study that examines my mouth so if in fact this happens to me they can help determine why. God I hope not. Just one other thing. Kidney failure, bone cancer, lung cancer, tumors.... Good times. Chemo tomorrow, then bone scans, cat scans, and chemo the week of Christmas. Cancer doesn't stop for Jesus. I sure wish it would. I do feel better today. My potassium was really low so my electrolytes were all out of whack. So that's all the news. Mom wanted to go xmas shopping. I say bah humbug! I will celebrate in my own way this year but it is not going to involve spending money. I think the whole gift giving thing has gotten out of hand, and detracts from what it was intended to be about. You can give gifts all year long. Why does it have to be that day? I would rather give of my self or my time or my friendship. There I said it....peace.
