Well I guess I left you all hanging for a while after my last entry and follow-up appointment with the oncologist and for that I apologise; here is a quick catch up.
The results of the CT scan show that everything was the same or slightly smaller than previous scans so this is good news, especially the spleen as it did not change I am less concerned that it is peeking out a bit from my bottom rib. The stomach issues have cleared up and I have stopped taking the medication for that as it was likely (in my opinion) due to anxiety of having to see the oncologist, I see my GP every month or so and all is good on my health front!
Bass lessons are continuing and I am actually putting a few notes together and some folks can even tell what song the notes are from, that is what you get for having a good teacher. I have a new amp now and am practising regularly so improvements are just ahead...
Charity fund raising is in the works, although I am not quite ready to share any details just yet.
I have had a bit of time to consider my health over the past few months and have had some ups and some downs (mentally) I know that I will not hear that my cancer is "gone" and I am cured, which is a down and plays little mind games every once in a while. The flip side is that I wake up everyday! This sounds like a simple thing but what it means is that I am alive and while that is true I am doing well and winning my fight. Since July now I have only had two or three bad days where I did not feel well and I think most of you have likely had the same or more?? I am glad to still be at a point where I do not need any treatment and that other than the odd day where I feel the "why me" I am doing very well.
Thanks to all for reading this and following along with Lori and I.
