Well I had my PET/CT scan today. It showed that I am PET negative but I still have a mass in my body. So what this means is they can’t see the cancer in my body, but I still have something there. So they don’t know if it is on the microscopic level (Larry that is) or if he is completely gone. Because of this I still need to get radiation.
So it looks like I will have surgery a week from today to move my ovaries out of the range of the radiation. Then I have 4 weeks of Monday through Friday of radiation. This will start in mid to late May. My next appointment with the Radiation oncologist was moved to May 12 (this is for staging and imaging for radiation). Then I will start radiation about a week later.
My oncologist will then see me again on August 4th. She will see me sooner if I need her but this is the appointment that will hopefully tell me I am clear and I can start the 2 year count down to get my children. This will also be the earliest that Max can get his dog.
I am looking forward for this to be over with. Honestly I am tired of thinking, living and being in this world. If I could I would like to just go to sleep and have someone wake me when it was over. However I am only about at the half way mark right now so it will still be a while before I get that wish.
I have some nice photos of Max that I will try to post this weekend.
