It's been a while!

Its been a while since I last posted. I apologize for that.

So I've concluded my last 2 chemo sessions. They were typical, feeling crappy for the first 8-10 days, mouth sores..etc.
After about 3 months since my chemo #8, I had a PET Scan. The following week was a tough one, its the week of waiting for the result.

The result was not as to what I hoped for. There was still some spots on my spleen that lit up on the scan.
I actually got pretty upset and maybe even depressed for a couple days. But, I didn't let it out of control. And made an appointment with a councilor at the hospital. It took a lot out of me. I had to say out loud all the bad things that were going through my mind. And that was extremely hard for me - I am not a big talker when it come to my emotions. When I came home, I cried like a baby. But I felt better the next day. A lot better!  It felt like a 1000 stones were lifted from my shoulders.  Will I go again? No! But did it help? defiantly.

The doc, ordered another spleen biopsy.

The samples taken showed only dead cancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The timing for the news could not have been more perfect, as when the doc called, me and Tanya were just heading out to Tobermory for a couple days of vacation.

I been gaining quiet a bit of weight, and defiantly more energy. I can finally be able to stay out till 3-4am!
More importantly, I finally could that what I didn't have for almost a year-- BEEEEEEEEER! It was everything I thought it could be and so much more!

What happens now? Now I wait. I have a CT scan coming up on October 24 I believe. I gotta double check that. With results following about a week after. Will report on the results... I promise.

Tanya started her school, and I am about to start trading again. So we cut hard on the 'medicine', which was not hard at all! So anyone thinking its addictive.. I say otherwise! But, I do enjoy one everyone now and then, its truly a remarkable experience. Tanya says I became wiser, I say its the weed!

Hopefully this is the end of this story.
