Wait and See

Let me start this post by thanking someone for asking me to create this blog. Over six months ago, my friend, Minesh, suggested I start a blog about my story. He thought others may find it motivational and in some way I feel it has been therapeutic for me. Minesh and I haven’t always seen eye to eye, but he has a good heart and had always been there for me if I needed him. There isn’t much more you can ask from a friend. Thank you.

This up-coming Thursday Oct. 29th, I have a CT/PET Scan to find out how far into remission the cancer is since the stem cell transplant one year ago. To say the least, I am quite anxious. I will be at Dana Farber at 8am for blood work, 9:45am for the scan, and then 11 and 11:30am with my oncologists for my normal monthly check-up with blood and scan results.

My last scheduled scan was three months following the transplant and showed diminished size of the lymphoma in my leg. This time around I am obviously hoping for improvement or at the very least no change at all. I won’t begin to discuss my feelings if the scan shows something other than those two outcomes. You can use your imagination.

I am going to keep my fingers crossed and try to stay as positive as possible. Of course, if that fails; I always have my Celexa and Ativan to fall back on. I may post again before Thursday, but it might be difficult to keep any thoughts straight.

Keep me in your prayers and I will update again soon.

~Cheers
