Scan Results

There are a few impressive words on my scans this month. My favorite is STABLE! It says I have widespread bony metastases that show NO PROGRESSION since 02/06/17. I’ll take it!

So where are my mets?

In my T3, T5, T6, T7, T11 and T12 vertebra. There are multiple mets in my lumbar spine. L3 is the worst and it hasn’t grown in the past three months. There are multiple mets in my sacrum, iliac, pubic rami and my right femur.

Are they painful?

Yes. Some more than others. There is one on my spine that causes shooting pain if I move a particular way. It’s close to a nerve. I take hydrocodone and get on with life.

I also had brain mets and I have a brain MRI scheduled the first of June. My last brain scan was clear. I’m praying for the same result!

Remember the tumor in my lung? Well, there is stable scarring in the left upper lobe. No evidence of lung metastasis! Wow!

The pea sized knot in my neck seems to be my immune systems way of dealing with allergies. Good News! Gotta love it!

It’s always good to hear stable and nothing new! What’s a girl to do? I’m off to Mexico soon with my Javiee. He’s working two jobs to pay for our trip (imagine not seeing your family for 11 years!). Our tickets have been purchased and we’re going no matter what my brain MRI shows. Time to make some memories!! I love you guys!💕💕💕
