I went and saw my favorite little Jedi Oncologist today....Dr. Singh. He reassured me that all my tests (PT and CT Scan) were all clear and I have a good heart.....(well, the heart part, I already knew:))).....but I was so happy to hear about the other scans being clear which means the cancer has not spread and that is a GREAT thing!!!
So I will start chemotherapy March 7th and will take those drugs for 8 weeks, 4 times total going every other week. You get a rest period as the chemo can sometimes really kick your butt!! So every other Wed starting March 7th I will get my chemo rounds and then on Thursdays of that same week I will get a shot to boost my white blood cell count. The following week I will get to rest and then that following week we start the cycle all over again. It's a very typical schedule for my cancer, so I was prepared for it. The following 12 weeks after that will be chemo once a week. So 20 weeks altogether. Hey I will take it for a life time of LIVING....so 20 weeks....bring it on.
