Got the CT scan results from Dr. Hong on Friday. Bottom line – cancer is stable. Had two nodules in the lungs get a bit smaller and one that got a bit bigger. Large tumor in liver got a bit smaller. There is a lesion on the liver that got a bit larger. At this point we will continue with the same chemo treatment. We will make appointment with Dr. Zhu and see what his opinion is. Dr. Hong said we could continue treatment, change the meds or look at clinical trials at this point. Unless Dr. Zhu convinces us otherwise, we’ll continue treatment as is and see what the results of the CT scan are in another 3 months.
The past few weeks have been cold and snowy. It’s crazy how much snow we’ve gotten. It seems like it’ll never melt. Hopefully we’re at the end of this craziness. I continue to feel well most days. I do get tired and my energy level gets low. I need to plan my days accordingly. If I’ve made plans to go out, I take it easy that day and even have a nap. When I’m feeling real good and have energy I get things done around the house. We are still in construction mode with the renovation of the porch and the kitchen. It’s coming along nicely though. Hopefully we’ll have the finished product in a few weeks. The counter is being installed this week, which also means the kitchen sink will be installed. Yeah! Thankfully, Ray set up the dining room as the temporary kitchen and did a wonderful job to make things much easier. All the new appliances have arrived and are patiently waiting to be installed. The porch is still a staging area for the kitchen construction so I haven’t had the chance to enjoy the pleasures I expect that room to bring. It’ll happen soon.
I continue to believe in the power of prayer and am thankful for everyone that continues to pray for me. I’m so fortunate to have such a wonderful support system. Couldn’t ask for better family and friends. I am blessed. You are all my strength. Love to all.
