Who knows??? I believe only God knows that. Yesterday, no cancer in my brain, thus far, just spinal cord, back, and problems. Sometimes its easier to just sleep sitting up.... I am continuing my Radiation at this point. 4 weeks or so? Not sure.
My daughter will stay til Thursday June 3rd. She said she would come back as soon as they want hospice. I would rather she be here to help out as much as possible. As far as that's concerned, I'd rather my family just be my hospice workers :). Don't know how they feel like that..... I do have a husband that's a nurse, plus Anita who is a Certified nursing assistant....what more could you ask?
I do know I'm tired. 7 yrs has just been so very long, and I have so may things I want to do, but will never get to do.
Need to do some more sewing, some more talking to my kids/grandkids. I think I want the most for them is to know how very much I have loved them over the years. Somehow or another, God has given me a wonderful family, and I would never want to hurt them.
You know, in the past 7 yrs, God has really emerged more & more in my life. Maybe its because of Him, I have less fear? Nope, I am not so brave as to say I don't need Him, But with Him, I believe I will be OK.
Keep me in your prayers, today, and everyday. Add me to your Rosary. As I say my daily prayers, I am adding you.
Love-n-Blessings-PAX CHRISTI

A whilwind has come!
With my last post, they said nothing was found on abd scan, so I went to radiologist guys....I KNEW something wasn't right. On the 13th I went back to the Radiologist, and they were worried, but couldn't figure out where the pain was coming from. They wanted to order a MRI of my back, but ins said "no". I was Dr Gian on the 18th, and he said I would have one, and rescheduled it for Fri. On Thurs the Radiologists office called and said we would do it then. So, My daughter & I went on up to the office for my MRI. I was in loads of pain, and has to do it in stretches. Results were immediate...not good.My left Plural space was 4/4 full of fluid, the cancer was 50% leaning against my spinal cord, and if we had not found this, I would be paralyzed within a week or so. The cancer is basically all throughout my L side.
On Friday, I had my plural space drained of almost 1000 cc fluid, had radiation tx, and will be continuing-for now. I am having an MRI of my brain on Tues, today. IF the cancer has progressed that far, well, I'm not sure if I am going to keep fighting at that point. God gives us all a stopping point, and I always knew when I would reach mine. I will leave all in God's hands, and completely in His Will.
Not easy, but He has given me extra time. I have had 7+ wonderful yrs with my husband & kids since dx. I pray I have used that time well.
I need to sign off, now. Off to see the good Doc Gian, and then, radiation, then MRI, then.....well, I'll let you know. Pray for me?
