When I was telling my sister Lynn about the ups and downs of cancer treatment she said it sounded like playing a game of "Mother May I". That is it exactly. You finish up a treatment and think you're ready to go on but when you ask the doc the answer is never yes. They always have questions about something and you need another test. You can never take a step forward but they always tell you to go sideways or maybe even backwards.
Last week I actually got all good news. The MRI came back okay so no more surgery (although I was actually looking forward to maybe getting a little breast lift on the other side and matching again). The oncotype also came back as low so no chemotherapy. Met with the oncologist on Monday and I am set up for getting going with the radiation oncologist on Friday. But... both MRI's showed something funny on my liver. I already had an ultrasound and it showed that it wasn't a cyst so...another MRI, for my liver this time, on Thursday. I wish Bryan could put in my IV. I only have an easy vein to find on one side and it is getting so scarred. That is the part I dread the most. Oh, well. Small price to pay to get well.
