I haven’t posted so here I go!  I went on the 25th to meet with my Gyno/oncologist for a Pap.  When I went she said that it was too early for the Pap because I had only finished my treatments on the 20th of  Nov. ….So she did a pelvic exam (basically just felt around).  She said that everything looked normal and felt normal.

All of my other treatments have been with my Radiation/Oncologist and I had only met the only Gyno/Oncologist at the very beginning of my treatment.  She is really nice…I like both my Dr.s!

So I guess that you can say that that was a good appointment.

My next appointment is on Feb. 25 and it is the PET scan.  They have to wait for 3 months to do either the PET or the Pap because the radiation will make the PET scan glow (which indicates cancer) and make the Pap come back with abnormal results.  So they like to wait so that they will get a more accurate result.  I will continue to see both oncologist every 3 months if my tests come back good!  The result that I want for my PET scan is NED (no evidence of disease)….

If there was evidence of disease I am not sure what they would do.  Hysterectomy, more chemo, more radiation?  Who knows …hopefully I won’t have to find out!!!

So many people battle cancer.   I am so sad that Lita Fullen, Amber’s grandmother just past away from Ovarian Cancer.  She was an amazing person…Cancer doesn’t discriminate based on how nice you are or how nice your family is….it just attacks.  I went to her showing tonight.  She was a fellow fighter and she didn’t make it….in the back of my mind it scares me.  Will I be able to fight it?  I so want to fight it and win….more than anything in the world.   Then just today I get word that another fellow fighter was victorious in her fight and is now cancer free.

I feel better than I have in a long time.  I am back to work full time.  My only things are that I am extremely tired in the morning and have a hard time getting up…don’t know if it’s the medication that I take or just that I am tired!  I sometimes also get a full feeling in my abdomen.  I have heard that these are all symptoms of Radiation.  There is alot of scar tissue and the damage to my lymph nodes can cause lymphodema….I don’t know that I have lymphodema…I am just self diagnosing haha….

Just wanted to give you all an update!  Thanks again for all your support, prayers and love.

I am so lucky to have you all in my life!!!

Love,

Lisa
