well, maybe not the happiest of anniversaries, but Aug. 22nd marks the day that i found out about my cancer and the day that my life changed forever. its been a long 12 months and i have many more months of fighting to go, but 12 months is 4x longer than my dr.'s lowest life expectancy estimate. so, eat your heart out dr. doom. CDRCC aint getting rid of me that easily!
Wed. Aug. 20th is my next scan to see what lefty's been up to...sneaky little bastard that he is. the last scan was back in May and it was simply to get a benchmark after surgery. i was not back on any meds at that point. on scan day i will have been on a full cycle of 37.5mg(4wks) and a constant dose of 25mg for 7 weeks. hopefully it is still doing something in there! the side effects are kicking my butt so it better be kicking some cancer butt in addition to mine.
i'll update the blog as soon as i can once i get some news about my scans. one thing i can go ahead and report is that the fluid is not building up nearly as fast. in fact, it is hard to tell if it is building up at all or if some days i just have gas bloating my belly. :)
cross your fingers, toes, legs, arms for scan day team bean saver! thanks!
