Treatment Week #12 – first half ✔

This Monday started out differently. I had to go at 8am for a chest scan. Because of this, we had to adjust my treatment time… ugh here we go with messing with my routine. The scan was quick and painless, and we were able to grab breakfast since I had to fast for the scan.

We arrived for my treatment and of course the lobby was filling up quickly, especially with loud talkers. Good news though; masks are now optional, so that made Lyle happy. I got my blood work drawn and was sent back to wait to be called back for treatment. Well wait is what we did. I finally had to ask if they forgot me. They didn’t really forget me, just coded me wrong. So, they took me back to a VERY full treatment room! I claimed a chair, barely, and then continued the wait. I think they overbooked ☹. Well finally at 11am (my appointment was at 10am and we were there early) they started, my premeds. Treatment went fine, and we were off for the commute home. It was quick without stopping for lunch today since we had a big breakfast.

So, Monday marked the end of my first 12 weeks of treatment. As I have said a million times, I am having more good days then bad. I am dealing with numbness in my feet, which they say is normal. It is uncomfortable, but I am trying to push through. This too shall pass. 

Continuing with the plan, the next 12 weeks of treatment starts Monday. This round I go every 3 weeks for a total of 4 treatments. Then have an MRI, the insurance has already approved this or at least we hope. Then I go back to the surgeon to discuss surgery.

Now the wait to find out what the mid-term scan shows. I am not hopeful we will find much out but who knows. I will try and stay positive about it.
