NEW SCAN APPOINTMENT

They just called with the date and time of my new scan which will be Tuesday evening, September 29th. That means I will have to fast all day but that's okay, it needs to be done so my doctor will have my results by my October 2nd morning appointment with him. I am so excited to be getting the scan because of the possibility I could be at a complete remission. I am also really scared because of the possibility I could still be at a partial remission or have gotten worse. I have had some recent bouts of nausea and dizzy spells so I am not venturing away from home too much by myself right now. I had to cancel my yoga on Friday. I did yoga this morning but then I fell asleep for a couple of hours as soon as Michelle left because I was so worn out. But that's okay, I still think considering everything I am doing well. This last week of the chemo pill seems grueling. I can't wait to get through this bottle and then have at least a week off. Further treatment will hinge on the results of the scan and I won't know anything until that October 2nd appointment. All and all I've had a really good month. My birthday was September 4th and I've pretty much been celebrating the whole month. I remember last spring when I got the results of my first scan and it looked so bad I wonder if I would make it to my next birthday. But here I am, still fighting and not ready to give up. My birthday kicked off the day before when some of my friends from work took me to Zokku for lunch. It was so nice to get together with them and I always love Zokku. The next day my son Christopher came for a couple of days for my birthday. He took me to lunch at Hot Italian after I picked him up from the train. Super yummy pizza! My son Scott and his wife Mattea had a family BBQ at their house on my birthday and it was wonderful. I just love it when all my family gets together. I have had many lunches and dinners since then because I have such fabulous friends but I think the birthday celebrations are over. My son Jeff is having a birthday this Thursday so it will be another get together but for him this time. I can't believe my baby is going to be 27! He is such a big help to me. He checks on me all the time and comes by every week to mow my lawn and help me with whatever I need. All my family and friends have really been here for me. My sister, Sis, is always driving me places when I need help and I can always count on her and my Mom to go with me to my appointments. One day at a time. I just want to get through this week - which I will. I am so praying this scan shows that I am in a complete remission. Please keep me in your prayers. I so believe the power of prayer has gotten me this far. Thank you.
