I know so many of you have been anxiously waiting to hear how the bone scan went yesterday.
Today we got preliminary results.
NO CANCER IN THE BONES!!!!
or at least nothing overly obvious that is lighting up. Which is good.
The doctor told not to get excited quite yet that she would have to read and compare the scan to her other x rays but she is optimistic.
WE WILL TAKE IT!
She did say that because this only looks at the bone she recommends we look at the soft tissue again on another MRI. It kind of scared me- but heck, we already know she has cancer in the soft tissue. We will take our victory- NO CANCER IN THE BONES- thank you very much!!
We left and met with our radiation oncologist who obviously got the call on the bone scan and suggested the same thing about the MRI. So, maybe there isn’t any cancer in the vertebrae of her spine but we can’t rule out the possibility of cancer in the spinal tissue or fluid.
I guess now we wait and see if they do an MRI or not.
Wait and see…..always wait and see.
Logan’s legs went numb again today, which didn’t allow us to be excited about the bone scan results for long. She is also feeling well still. Her fever is hovering around 38 so we got to go home. If her temperature goes up by half a degree though, we are back in.
Our holiday is coming up soon, and Logan thinks it is kind of funny how she always ends up in hospital before we go on vacation out of the country. She clearly doesn’t understand insurance- but I guess there isn’t really much to understand. We don’t have any. Period.
She told her oncologist everything needs to be taken care of before she “heads out” to Maui. She is really looking forward to this trop.
Today, was long and emotional.
It was one hell of a roller coaster ride of fear and relief and then fear again. Stress is so hard on the body and I can literally feel the tension running through my veins. The rushes of adrenaline leave you exhausted and all I want to do is climb into a warm bath, pour a LARGE glass of wine and just relax…
However I can’t, have wine. I am waiting to see if we end up at the “Hilton” tonight and no one appreciates a drunk oncology mom at the hospital.
Damn.
