Short Post

My journey still has momentum, spent most of the day in the main building at Sunnybrook for a CT Scan, for those that have been following me the chemo is over and we are at the testing stage.

The CT scan is this big machine that looks like a big donut on its side, you lay down and slide you in and out, lots of noise and flashing lights.  Mine was to establish what comes next, one of those ‘good news-bad news situation’ the good news would be that the chemo did its job, cleaning up any residual cancer that they couldn’t see, the bad news would be that regardless of their efforts the cancer has spread.

With good news

The next step would be to operate and remove everything, this would probably be 6 weeks or so after my results appointment based on what I was told when I first met the surgeon.  This is my hope even though the operation will be life changing for me.

With bad news

I wish I had the answer to this, all I have been told is that “we’ll cross that bridge if we get there” not really sure what that involves.  I’m guessing that it would involve more chemo in an attempt to stop or reduce the spread and my ultimate demise.

So.. Short post this time, to say that I’m stressed about the results when I meet with my oncologist on the 21st is an understatement – but in keeping with the attitude I have tried to keep during this journey ‘it is what it is’ and I’ll have to accept whatever the outcome is.
