I had my first follow up with my radiology doctor, and when we weren't all chatting about his son's upcoming wedding, he looked at my neck and agreed with me that the lump had shrunk. He decided that I should have a new CT scan before I go to see my oncologist at the end of August. I am glad about that. It seems a waste to go see him if I don't have some way to show him the results of what the radiation treatments have done. I am just hoping that he doesn't recommend I have chemotherapy.
I can't believe it is August. I hate the thought of summer being over. Hate it so much. Even if my summer was spent driving back and forth to Maplewood every day and putting that hideous mask on.
Happily I was able to spend a couple hours on Monday with my childhood friend Joy, who was in town from North Carolina to visit her dad and some family. Nothing beats connecting with someone you've known your whole life and catching up. She is a wonderful person and I am very lucky to always have her love and support.
This blog follows my latest round of cancer and radiation treatments during the summer of 2010.
