March 6, 2019 - CTCA Report

Today was an up-and-down day! There was a fashion high; they had me put on a mask due to low bloodcounts. 😷 I wore it for as short a time as possible. And Tony wasn’t laughing AT me. He was laughing WITH me. 😂

We’d seen the scan details online; they had shown mixed results and I felt prepared going to see the oncologist. I was not expecting him to mention more radiation. But a few hours later, we were meeting with the radiation oncologist and reviewing scans of my skull.

Let me interject that I am very thankful for the speed with which appointments are set up - it was only about 5 hours of wondering “am I already doing radiation again?”

Thankfully, I’m not. After a discussion of pros and cons, we all agreed that it’s not needed at this point. I’m happy about that. I wasn’t happy seeing how close the cancer on my skull is to my brain. Like I said, an up and down day!

It was a sobering reminder that plans can change so quickly. That we are not in control of what cancer will do. But the truth is that God IS in control, even on the days when it is hard to remember. This battle is His, not ours. I am thankful to be able to rest in that truth.
Thank you for praying for us!!

“How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.” Psalm 31:19 NLT
