Today is chemo day and even though I get super annoyed lugging the infusion pump around for 2 days….coming to the cancer center is never a chore. The doctors, nurse practitioners and RN’s are ALL kind, compassionate and a load of fun to visit with. They know my life better than my family does. I love them all dearly…love chatting with Cheryl and dancing with Laura. They are just energetic, joyful ladies and I’m soooo grateful for them!

Just to be clear, I would call and keep some of my family updated, if I didn’t dislike being on the phone so much now. After years of being on incoming customer calls at several jobs, I just don’t chat on the phone that often anymore. I will call and update them sometime soon.

Yesterday, I did my bi-yearly CT and MRI scans to gauge my cancer and it’s status. The doctor went over the results with me today. And per doc, I am exactly where I should be. My tumors have not grown or shrunk. They are the same size, which is what they hope for, if shrinkage has not occurred. I will take that as a win, if my body is keeping up with the fight on the frontline. It’s just like that scene in “300”, where they all make a giant cluster of shields and the enemy crashes into them. That’s my body, fighting the war for my life.

Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky. I must have some incredible, secret mission that God wants me to do. Because I just can’t figure out how I’m kicking this cancer in the backside. Most people with this stage don’t last more than 6 months. I just wake up each day amazed and ready to keep on, keeping on.

Blessings, I tell you….blessings!!
