Bone Scan

This morning I checked my emails.
I often get the random email from someone wanting to write on my blog about their own experience or marketing their own sites etc.
Today it was from some guy who wanted to offer some insight on how to cope with "this terminal illness" wow that was pretty powerful. It hit me really hard for a minute. Then I thought about it. I am still fighting this. You can label it whatever you want.
There are people who come out of this. A very small amount of people but it does happen. Am I delusional? Maybe. Probably.
But, if I don't fight, I for sure will not be one of the minority. So, I carry on. I carry on with hope and determination. Not to be brought down by stupid words like terminal.

My chemo is going so well. I have had half of round 8 already. Recommended dosage is 5 rounds.
Well, my white count was low last week so I actually only received the Cisplatin. No Gemcitobene this past week. I had mixed feelings about that one. Kind of happy and disappointed. I want to keep going at the fullest but at the same time I know I was feeling a little crappy so my body needed the break. I also get one this week as well since its my week off of chemo.
I will be ready for it all next week!!

I had a bone scan done last Monday. I was having some pain in my hip and leg. Well, as soon as I mention it, it goes away.
I was not imagining it at all. It was always bugging me and so sore. Lately, nothing.
I have not heard anything on the scan as of yet. Is no news good news? I hope.
I have noticed that my legs are less bruised lately too. Bruising is associated with bone metastasis. Not sure the details as I cut myself off from looking into more things like that.

I have a CT scan booked for the end of the month to see where things are in my liver. Hopefully the tumours continue to shrink as they have been! I keep hopeful!
It sure would be nice to be told that the cancer really is under control and I can have some time off chemo and have the port removed.
The port is not really bothering me but I am always worried about it being bumped .... that and it would just be nice to have some more normalcy around here!!

I still do have it really good! My son and I go swimming two days a week.
We did not go the past week and a bit since Ethan has an ear infection. Once he is completely over that, we will be back to our lessons.
Tumble time is a favourite of Ethan's. He runs around the gym playing and observing other kids playing. I just chase after him!

I have no back pain. No issues other than a nauseated feeling that will hit off and on whenever. I keep my pills close by just in case. I honestly don't care about that though. Its nothing compared to what the chemo is doing to the cancer.

I have had other side effects from the medications I have been given along the way. Some things I have mentioned here and others I have kept to myself. I may mention them at some point soon as they are just a memory (bad memory) but in the past.

Life can go on being metastatic. I feel so good. I do have the nausea like I mentioned but that is minimal and for the most part I want to always get out and do things. Clean the house, cook and my favourite is spend time with my son.
Today is such a beautiful day. We are going to get outside and play as soon as I can get my lazy self dressed and out.
