The Plan

The plan is set now! I feel so much better and ready to get this over with to kill this stupid cancer! All doctors have agreed on this; 6 rounds of chemo and 4-6 weeks of radiation on its own. Though they want to split it up by 4 rounds of chemo then the 4-6 weeks of radiation then the last 2 rounds of chemo. Sounds good to me. I go back in to Hoag this Monday for round 4 of chemo already!! That means once i am done with this i get to start radiation. I am some what close to being more than half way there! I will update you with all my fun days ahead with chemo! Thanks for all your support! Believe!!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you all for coming to my benefit on Thursday night! What a blast i had!! Also thank you to people that donated still and could not come. I was very overwhelmed with all your love and support there! So the next step is again to wait for the doctor to figure out what is next. I hope he contacts me soon so i can move on and keep on killing this stupid cancer! Thanks again for all your support!! Believe!

It all happens for a reason..

Today is my benefit day!!! This is how my day started ,my surgeon called me at 745 am to let me know that i will never have lung surgery. We were hoping when the mass shrunk that he would be able to take out the upper lobe but, which the location of the mas still it is too dangerous. It is wrapped up with my pulmonary artery and the whole surgery could probably kill me. So my only option is medical treatment only. We have not decided on if i am going to do radiation alone,chemo alone or both together. Dr. Mahdavi and my radiation oncologist Dr. Chen will have to come up with a regiment on what is next. I hope to hear back from either of them in the next day or so. At first i did not know how i felt about these news. Though now as i think about it i am very thankful for having such wonderful doctors! Also i don't need to have my chest broken into and i get to keep my whole left healthy lung!!!! This all happens for a reason and i am ready to do whatever i need to do! I will kill this no matter what! Stupid Cancer!!!!
Hope to see you all there tonight! Thank you all for your support and patience. Believe

The waiting game

So i went to my doctors appointment on Thursday and nothing new. I was never presented on the tumor board on Tuesday so I will have to wait until next week with more information. Dr. Mahdavi did say that the other good news is that my pulmonary artery is open and not smooched by the mass. I can not explain what that really means but it is very very good for surgery purposes! I will have to call Dr. Mahdavi Tuesday afternoon to see how the tumor board meeting went. I do have an appointment with my surgeon Dr. Zusman on Thursday the 21st to discuss the surgery. This is all good news but i am wanting this process to go faster. I am waiting around with suspense and anxiety. Though i am staying positive,enjoying my life and freedom that i have right now. I will update more once i get more information. Thanks again for your support! May 21st is my benefit!! Can not wait!!!

Hello

Just wanted to say hello to all and give you a short update. I was in Palm Springs again last weekend for mothers day. Hope all you moms out there had a great day too! It was absolutely beautiful and scorching hot! I layed in the hot sun and got some vitamin d and of course ate alot of food! It is always a pleasure to go somewhere not too far away to relax my mind and body. Now i am back and very anxious about my last mri scan i had last Wednesday. So i called my doctors office and asked them to read my results........ The mass significantly decreased again to about 1.3 cm!!!! I will know more information on Thursday but i thought i would share this joyful news with you all! Thanks for your support and BELIEVING in me!!

A good break!

I had a great weekend relaxing and feeling better everyday. Today i had an appointment with Dr. Mahdavi, aka the man, and it went very well. I had a blood test there and all my counts are pretty normal. It took awhile but that is normal for that to happen. I scheduled a MRI/MRA of my chest for tomorrow morning to see what round 3 did to that stupid cancer. From that my doctor is attending his weekly tumor board meeting next week with other physicians to go over my case. I will see him next Thursday. Yes i have over a week with no doctor appointments and scans!! I have a life and much time to relax before the next appointment. So next week when i do see him we will discuss the tumor board meeting information and then i will have to see my surgeon Dr. Zusman! I'm so excited about all this and moving on with no more chemo right now makes me happy. I also can not wait to get my results of knowing how much more i kicked this cancers butt!!! I will update you all once more information comes along. Thanks for all your support! BELIEVE
