I asked Dr Lee my usual string of probably irritating questions yesterday. What next? When? Why scans, how often? What if I need new drugs? What are they? What if that doesn't work... Is it possible that my cough made it look bigger!? (It isn't)
My friend Chris compared me to those students we have that after they leave, we just put our head on our desk and are thankful they're gone. That's totally me with Dr Lee.
She says things like "people do this for 10-20 years and are just fine!" I respond with "I want more than 10-20 years." So so selfish.
I read an article today on immunotherapy. I have heard of it for a while, but haven't read too much. Researching this world is a little scary, so I'm hesitant. Basically they get your own immune system to kill cancer cells. Its still in experimental stages and in clinical trials, but drs are getting excited about it.
I read about it on cancer.org, which is exciting that it wasn't hippieshealyou.com. I feel like it was fairly reputable. 😬
I can totally handle chronic conditions.
Anyway, life is getting back to normal today, and ready for spring break!
