Today Facebook reminded me that this week, two years ago, was the last time I had a biopsy result with a positive find of cancer. Shortly after I switched chemo drugs and then at Christmas had the SBRT – aka laser knife – radiation on the tumor. So, coming up on two years NED again. 🙂
In 2014 I had been 2.5 years NED. Then in 2017 3 years NED. So, if the pattern holds I have another year’ ish before we have to worry about the next tumor popping up. Or maybe we’ll just stop this wicked cycle right now and stick with the current state of affairs.
Because of the nature of cancer in general and apparently my cancer specifically, the longer I go the more I worry. It’s not like there is a line where you say “okay, no cancer for 71 months, so more cancer ever”. I guess worry is the wrong word though. I don’t worry, I just prepare myself.
Also, I am the meanest person in the world. I just locked both dogs outside together. They have been sleeping all day!! Dusty doesn’t like it when she is out with Benny because he is relentless in trying to fight with her. It is the only way he knows how to play. Her line is about 10 feet further out than his so he cannot get to her unless she lets him. Sometimes she starts charging him then running away from him. Dusty knows exactly where to be so Benny cannot get her but thinks he can.
I got up at 6 today and went with my husband to work so I could have his car. It’s a strange feeling being at home without a car. I have gotten more done around the house this week.
That is in fact all of my excitement for right now.
