March 2019-Hello

[SusieIM]

Hi Everyone,

How is everyone doing. Time flies, had a pet scan yesterday. My cancer markers went up a couple months ago. Doc. got concerned, she has me trying new chemo. Markers have gone down since then. Basically, some tumors have decreased, others have not, others have increased some. I usually have a pet scan done every three months, hold my breathe, pray a extra prayer for good results. I have compression fractures on spine. I have been having arcupunture treatments for it, it is helping. I get tired easily, I know that's nomal, my hair is getting thinner and thinner, forcing myself to eat to maintain weight. I work part time. I will let you know the results of the pet scan.

I hope your scan is good. Don't know how you do it while working. I know how it feels to see those markers go up. This is the life we live, crazy.

Will be thinking of you.

Barbara

Hi Susie After reading your story and update I think you are a woman who deserves some rest. Is taking time off an option? Or do you love your job? (I love mine but am considering whether to stop working).

[SusieIM in reply to Oliveoyle]

I am starting to take some time off work. I have family responsibilities which makes it a challenge at times, at times we do need to do self care. I am working on self care, I know it's important. Take care.

Hope you have good results, if working makes you happy, you should continue to work!

[SusieIM in reply to kduck]

Hi Susie,

I hope your test results are good. It's always nerve racking waiting to get test results, but hopefully you will receive good news!

Take care,

Prayers for good results. My markers went up slightly last time but am holding off on scans till April or May. My last was in December.

[SusieIM in reply to Kimr2081]

We can continue to pray for each other 🙂
