Today we started a new round of body scans to take a peek inside and see how my treatment is progressing. To that end I am officially declaring this week Star Trek week.
(Lots of big, fancy, and loud machines... ya know... Star Trek!)
And if you're wondering why I'm declaring an entire week... there's a lot of me to scan!
For Hors d'œuvres, a Full Body PET Scan.
Chasing that down is a Neck, Chest, Abdomen, and Pelvic CT Scan.
Next is a Pelvic MRI
and finishing it off... a Full Spinal MRI.
What a menu!
I should be reporting back with all the results next week!
What's Next? ROUND 2!
The end of this week also signifies the completion of my first Maintenance cycle of chemo.
::Raises Hands In Triumph::
Which means we get to start it all over again on Monday. And if my body keeps the same resiliency it had during the first cycle, we should have no problems.
Ok... so complain about something
Unfortunately, not everything is sunshine and rainbows.
In honor of the Super Bowl, my friends and I had our own Super Bowl:
Our team won... however the victory is definitely bittersweet.
My entire lower body is killing me. At this point, a flight of steps is my greatest enemy.
Other Notes...
Other things on my mind right now... but I'll leave those for another day.
