Treatment decision
I saw my Oncologist and my treatment plan was discussed. I could opt to go ahead with chemo again to zap any unseen floaters...the thought of chemo again so soon is unsettling. I am working full time, just had my hair highlighted, progressing through my chemo recovery and feeling like I'm getting my life back to some extent. Now this! After discussion, we decided to watch and wait. I will get scanned again in October and hopefully be NED. LMS has a high recurrence rate so I expect to have the dragon knocking at my door again. The mets to my lung was enough for me to deal with right now. I think if I have another recurrence I may head to MD Anderson in Texas where there are Sarcoma specialists. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it though. I just take every day as it comes. Hope for the best and continue to fight depression. I started an antidepressant 2 weeks ago. The only thing that I can tell at this point is that I yawn a lot and don't cry everyday like I had been. I was doing really well keeping my tears at bay until this morning...

cathie, you are a strong woman, who is truly beautiful inside and out. a very wise person told me, while i was in deep with despair and grief, that God does give us more than we can bear, that way we HAVE to depend on Him. sometimes the hardest thing to do is turn over the reins on our wagons. i never told you while at baptist how i felt, but i always admired you, you are always there with a smile, i loved to hear you laugh. you are a beautiful person thru and thru. love you lots, lisa
