Treatment Week #11 and No Matter What


Monday’s treatment was quick and easy, yay.  Still having more good days then bad.  I found out that the MRI has been denied, gotta love insurance.  So, they have ordered a CAT scan instead and that will happen Monday. 

 

On to other news, John Lucas is part of the fantastic Cookeville Children’s Theater production of Beauty and the Beast.  I don’t get out much these days, but I can’t miss seeing him on stage.  I have already seen it twice and plan going a few more times.  Wow what an amazing production with such amazing talent.  He plays Maurice, who is Belles Dad.  He does an amazing duet with Belle, played by his friend Ella Choate, and it is SO good.  The name of the song is No Matter What.  Here is just a little of the lyrics:

No matter what the pain
We've come this far
I pray that you remain
Exactly as you are

There are shows this weekend and next. You need to go see it; you will not be disappointed.  Just so you know, John Lucas never lets us hear him before opening night.  That song really hit me and is now driving me more to Beat Cancer - 
NO MATTER WHAT!!!

Radiation - that's a wrap!

Today has been a busy but GREAT day!  We started the morning off early with a drive to Nashville to get my immunotherapy.  There is just one more immunotherapy  treatment to go, which will be in 6 weeks.   Next, we headed back to Cookeville for my  LAST radiation treatment.   YAY!   I’m so glad I was able to have my radiation treatments  locally at Cookeville Regional Cancer Center, because I had to go every weekday for 21  treatments and they took such great care of me.   We ended our day with a celebration  dinner out with my favorite people.   I have had such great support through this  especially my husband who has been my rock through it all.   I am truly blessed.

One year ago today!

August 2, 2022 was the day my life changed forever.   I heard the words too many people hear, "I'm sorry your biopsy came back positive for cancer.” I immediately joined a club no one ever thinks they will be a part of.  In that instant, and in the days and weeks that followed, I didn't know exactly what was going to happen. All of the doctors told me it was small, and we caught it early.  And all of this brings me to today: my cancerversary. You may be wondering, what is that? Am I supposed to do something specific? The first thing you need to know is there are no rules. There are many possible cancer anniversaries, and this is just one of them (stay tuned I may celebrate just this one or all of them). Since I can't change anything of the past year, I am deciding to not be depressed today. I will not ignore the day that changed my life. I will continue to find the good in everything. I appreciate every single person in my life. I appreciate each day in a way I nev...

Surgery and Recovery

Surgery took place on March 22 nd .  It was an early morning, with our first stop at a hotel near the Nashville airport to pick up my sister who flew in to be here for me. Then we headed to the hospital. We knew it would be a long day with three procedures. First up was the needle localization. This procedure helps guide the surgeon to exactly where the cancer originated. Next, we visited with my surgeons, nurses and anesthesia team. We were ready to get this cancer out of me and they were taking me early yay. During surgery they removed the cancer, removed one lymph node to be tested (procedure 2) and the plastic surgeon did the reduction to make sure that everything was symmetrical (procedure 3). I have been doing good with recovery, just taking it easy.  I have been to the plastic surgeon, and he says I am healing nicely. The general surgeon let us know that the lymph node came back clear, and the cancer has been removed and all margins are clear. Praise God. I go to th...
