I had my scans this week, and will get the results next week. The last time I was scanned, I got the amazing news that the lesions on my liver are benign! I am excited to see the same results again, or better!
Since this is not common (because God does these things in ways we would not expect), there does not seem to be a protocol for what to do next. With every fiber in my being, I would like to go back to an oral hormone inhibitor, and get off of the weekly chemo. The chemo has side effects, such as, numbness/tingling in my feet. White blood cells are effected, which means shots three days a week at my house. Red blood cells down again, which means I am back to being anemic. My Oncologist is hesitant to make any major changes in my treatment. The chemo is meant to block advancement in metastatic cancer, and that is what I continue to have.
I ask for your prayers in this matter. I know God placed the doctors at City of Hope in my path, and I trust my Oncologist to make good decisions. It is my hope, and prayer, that God will give her peace and wisdom about my treatment. I want us all to feel confident that what is being done medically, is the right thing to give me good quality, and quantity, of life.
I am blessed to have so many people praying for me. Thank you for asking these things on my behalf. God continues to answer in ways that are amazing. I don't think a day goes by that He doesn't hear my name. I want to keep God in the driver seat, because the journey we are on is very beautiful.
Blessings,
Sandy
