Not an easy day.The CT scan shows 2 masses in the liver, each almost 3 cm large. Almost certainy metastisized breast cancer.
I went from stage 2 to stage 4 quick as you please.
But of course nothing is changed, it was always there we just did not know it. Now my chemo will begin a week later, and probably go longer. I will be infused once a week for 3 weeks then have one off. They'll test me plenty to make sure it's working, but I'll ever be completly cured, altho I might go into remision for many years.
That's okay, we're all terminal, I'll just carry a deeper awareness closer to the surface.
We're hoping to get a PET scan and Liver biopsy. Will let you know how it works out.
This is hard news to accept and internalize, but I maintain my belief that the rest of my life will hold much more joy than pain, more love than fear, and more blessings than imaginable.
Love you all and thanks for the prayers and support.
Jimmie, it is hard to type with tears,but I Just want to say you are loved much and have shown a strength and grace that is quite a thing. I am proud to know you Miss Jimmie. Live long Miss Jimmie....this world needs you.

ReplyDeleteMy dearest friend,
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you and John. I am so sorry that this trial has been put upon you, but I keep hope as I know you do also. My prayers are with you and John and family. Life should not put such hard blows on such a lovely and wonderful person, but we cannot predict what is in store for us and must face what comes with the kind of grace and beauty that you show. You are an inspiration to me and so many others. I am calling on the band of angels that I know watch over us to come to you in double strength. We love you so much!
Rusty and Pam
Love you and John. Think about you every day.
ReplyDeleteJimmie, what Pam wrote is so eloquent and true. You have so much love and support behind you to help you through this. I think of you and say a prayer every day.
ReplyDeleteMy Mother, sister and daughter are all breast cancer survivors and I know you will be as well.
Love,
Kathleen
