CT Results after 2 Rounds

June 25th 2019 - As planned by myself and the oncologist it was time for my repeat CT scan after the 2 rounds of chemotherapy treatment (6 weeks). On May 30th 2019 my scan was planned for 10pm, it wasn't the most pleasurable time to be going to Bluewater Health in Sarnia but I took whatever they could give me - I needed answers, I needed to know if all the pain, lack of energy, tiredness and just feeling like crap the past 6 weeks was worth it - was it working?

Not only was this scan going to involve looking at my lungs, it will also be looking at my liver, kidneys etc. anywhere the cancer is able to metastasis to. This is going to be the tell all. This will let me know if I keep going through with treatment as planned or if we've hit another brick wall and the drugs are not working. I don't want to seem like I am exaggerating; but literally my life is on the line.

I get the results June 6th 2019 from my oncologist - which seems like forever to wait, but I'll just keep thinking positive thoughts until the appointment.

Bluewater Health Sarnia, June 6th 2019, 945am it's here, it's time - time to find out what is going on from here on out.

Mom, Dad, Drew and I all wait in the room, tension is high, but of course we all keep the mood light with laughs as best as we can.

Positive thoughts still run through my mind - today has to be a good day I tell myself, just please give me something good. At this point in my battle, I really don't thing I could handle any more bad news, honestly.

I'm sitting on the bed waiting for the doctor to come into the room, it seems like a lifetime already, but I'm sure it's only been 5 minutes.

The doctor walks into the room while my legs are shacking out of control and my anxiety is sky high - but everything stops in a matter of seconds - he is in a different mood compared to last time, he has a smile on his face and a pep in his step! Is this it, is it the good news I'm been finally waiting to hear?

I'm literally staring at the doctor with my eyes dashing over to my parents every few seconds... are they thinking the same thing right now? I don't realize it but I'm holding my breath, waiting for the tears to start at any moment... I need to know SPILL IT!

SIGH, deep breath in, deep breath out - we have POSITIVE NEWS!

Here are the results; the chemotherapy treatment show signs of success. There aren't any new nodules in either of my lungs or any other organ scanned.

The nodules that are in both my right and left lung have not grown and seem to be kept at bay thus far. Two nodules however have decreased in size by 1MM.

Finally - something seems to be working. From here on in we agree to do another two rounds of treatment (same schedule; day 1, day 8 week of rest x 2), followed by a repeat CT scan again. I'm hoping these next 6 weeks go by fast and the CT results are just as good, if not better.

Positive thoughts from here on out, sunshine kissing my face and grass between toes, maybe just maybe it's starting to look up.

I also have everyone that sends their positive thoughts, prayers and well wishes my way to thank, together we are stronger - and my "army" proves it. LOVE YOU ALL!

I can't forget that there can also be bad news that comes with this, after all I'm in a battle between my life and cancer.... but right now those thoughts are in my mind. They are being pushed aside until or IF I have to deal with them.

Positive Note: The results weren't exactly what I was looking for, I guess you could say I'm still waiting for the word - cured - but it was finally something I can take in and smile about. I have to take this little positive notes and run with them.

And so, I keep fighting.
