Smile, I haven't kept up well with my blog because not much of interest happening...I've been feeling well and no big scary news to report. :)
I went today for my every 3 month PET scan, had to go to Strong first for my IV, then on to the PET scan place - where my IV promptly fell out. They tried to put one in, searched everywhere for a vein, were very confident, tried to put it in my FINGER and failed. Reschedule. Luckily I have lots of free time next week, and come to find out, they can directly inject the radioactive dye for people like me who have a hard time with veins. Why didn't they tell me this 5 years ago? Excellent question, I wonder the same, but at least from here on out they will direct inject into a vein instead of having to thread in a catheter. Yippeee:)
I'll report back with news of PET scan results next week. My blood numbers have been steadily increasing since we ended the last chemo and started the hormonal treatment, meaning it's not keeping things under control and I'm pretty sure they will have to put me back on chemo after they see the PET results. Plus my back hurts, in the same place they're concerned about some spots they saw last time. Or maybe some lovely radiation? That helped with the pain and prevented spread last time...wait and see what the oncologist says on June 10. Take care and enjoy the hot weather (from inside with the ac blasting:))
