My CT Scan

Well, today was the big day. As important as it was, it was still hard to get 5 minutes of time from the doctor. Guess that's typical. He read the results of the CT Scan to me and my response was, "OK, what did it say?" Evidently there is still a little something showing on the scan, but they feel it might just be scar tissue. The bottom line is I will complete treatment #12 next week and then we're going to take a 3 month break with hopes of building strength and weight. Then we'll do another cat scan to see if anything is showing up. Of course we hope not and there can be no promises. A little hard to believe that we're going to be finished. Time has really passed by quickly. I guess that's the old age. I did get the doctor to confirm that my hair not growing is a common response to the chemo and it will start growing again. He had no answer to my two complaints, cold hands and still a sore throat. So, all in all I should be happy. I am relieved a bit, but still have the future to look at since this is not a "curable" type of cancer. Thanks for thinking of me.
