Nov 11, 2008

I am good for another 3 months or 3, ooo miles. MRI looked "really good" per my hi priced radiation oncologist and then he said farewell to me. I can never have radiation again (evidently there is a lifetime maximum) so I go to my Neurological Oncologist from now on. I am going to post a couple recent pics for the fam.

It is a bit surreal to live 3 months to 3 months, that is still sinking in. I asked him how often we would have to keep checking my thyroid and he said forever. I asked about MRI's and he said every 3 months for a few yrs then perhaps every 4, etc. I stopped asking questions.

Thanks for all the prayers. I have amazing friends. One who spent several hours on the phone last night just listening to me cry.

It doesn't get easier. The sitting there, waiting, waiting to go in and here the results. I don't want niceties, or bedside manner, or even questions on how I am feeling. He should meet me at the door with a "everything is great" or "I am sorry." Just let me know immediately. I only had to wait 45 minutes from when the scan was finished until my exam but they don't realize, I have been worried about this for 3 months. I'll be worried for the next 3 months. I don't know when it gets easier. When do I stop feeling like I have a 3 month potential sentencing date? I don't even know what to pray for any more. How do people live like this?
