My scan results

0 Recommendations

were good. The report said, no visible signs of cancer. It was a year ago July that I was diagnosed and started this hard road...surgery and chemo. This is my 3rd scan and I am blessed that it hasn't come back ....I know I have a long way to go and I still have issues but I am alive and loving and living life to it's fullest. Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement,
RuthieG

wonderful news! I am so happy for you. Now keep up the good work.
God bless sandy

I keep asking myself, If I am so free of cancer and my blook work is fine, why do I feel so crappy. I have terrible issues with pain throughout my body. I ache so bad I have to take pain killers. I have a referral soon with a rhumatologist and also a pain doctor. They say it is probably (nerve?) damage from the chemo...Carbo/taxol...(or surgery) I have no clue where it is from but again...I'm thankful to be alive ...and as long as a pain pill helps...I will try not to complain.....I just have to learn to take it earlier rather than later ...Sending healing thoughts to all of you.
