Joppette Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 As we are folks "living with cancer", the news I got today was great. No new growth since the last CT 3 months ago. I'm going to still be on the 3 month check list, but if I go another 3 months, I'll most likely be moved to the six month check list. I am SO THANKFUL! The thought of another surgery, and another lobe coming out was terrifying. I now realize that each time they do a surgery, or treatment, it begins to narrow down your options if the cancer returns. So I'd like to not use up my trump cards until I absolutely have to! I'm happy about this. I came on tonight because we are being HAMMERED with major storms, and my Satelite TV went out. No stupid TV when the signal is gone, darn it. LOL. We went out for a celebration dinner tonight, and it was all good. Interesting, the nausea I have with the kidney infection....Onc. said Zofran is not effective with nausea from other illnesses. He said it works great for chemo treatment but not for other issues. He prescribed another medication, and it seems to be working for me. Yeah! Judy in MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laban Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What a wonderful post to wake up to Judy. You deserve a break and looks like prayers were answered. I believe very strongly in prayer and thank God daily for all the blessings in life. Glad to hear too that you have new nausea meds and that they're working. Hope your storms are over and your TV is back on. Maybe you can put your feet up today and enjoy life without that worry hanging over your head.

And I totally get the - let's not use up our options until we have to thought. That is the way my Onc and I have been going at it. Enjoy your day - bad foot up - something yummy to eat and drink - peace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Great news Judy, How sweet is that... So , no more worrying. That is exactly what we needed to hear from you. Congrats. Now, no worrying for about 2 months and 3 weeks, OK? That's my motto anyway. 3 months for me too. Next scan Sept. 7th. I'll toast to you later.

Bud Baker Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Very nice, Judy. I don't know why, but when you posted about having your scan last week, I was thinking this better-than-expected news was what we would get. Maybe I need to be so optimistic more often, huh? Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
