Scanxiety

 I have an upcoming pet scan scheduled for this week. So instead of anxiety in the cancer world it's called scanxiety. Being anxious of what the outcome of the petscan will be. I'm not overly anxious or nervous. By now it's a bit of a normal for me. The waiting. The wondering. Having the scan done. I'm not saying that it isn't stressful, the waiting, because it is. But to me it's just the norm now. Along with all the poking and prodding. As always though I am hopeful that this scan will show that the latest spot that lit up has either stayed the same or gone away. Either way, whatever the outcome will be, I will handle it the same way I have handled everything else so far. With positivity. Positivity with a little dash of meltdown here or there added in. Whatever the outcome, this is just another stop on my journey. Another page in this chapter.

A life full of new normal's

 It's been over a month since my surgery. I should have taken the time to sit down and write long before now. Why I haven't I can't say. It may because I just haven't felt that I have had much to say. What to report. How to report everything. I suppose mostly it has been because I have been trying to digest everything that is going on. Just trying to get through each day. It's been a bit of a struggle to say the least. Obviously surgery was a success or I wouldn't be sitting here writing today. I spent six days in ICU and 12 days total in the hospital. I recovered much better than they expected and they were very pleased. The surgery itself was long. They removed all of the cancer but unfortunately since there was still cancer present in the lymph nodes that means some more chemo. My oncologist has been giving me some time to recover before moving forward with treatment. She isn't exactly sure what she wants to do but she is a good oncologist and will figure...

3/3/2020: The day my battle begun

3/3/2020: That's the day that my battle begun. " You have a maligant tumor in your espoghagus." Those were the first words my doctor told me when I woke up from having an endoscopy. A five minute procedure that changed my life and put me on the path that I am now on. Those are the words that changed my life. Not the words that you want to hear when you first come out of a procedure. Not the words that anybody wants to hear. By Friday I was in seeing the oncologist working out my treatment plan. The following three weeks I had a petscan done, a feeding tube, blood transfusion and port placed followed by my first round of chemo. As you can tell treatment can move fast. Let's talk about my chemotherapy treatment for a moment. Four hours in office having two different chemotherapy drugs administered through my port followed by my friendly chemo pump, whom I named Tag since he gets to tag along with me for 46 hours administering a slow drip of medicine. I get to enjoy ...
