I celebrated for a few short moments with my oncologist at chemo today over my tumor markers. While we only spoke briefly, I asked if he had any idea how long treatments would continue and although I am not sure I wanted the answer, so many people have asked. So I asked, and with a bit of anguish in his face he said 3-4 months at least. I had in the back of my mind about 2. Whewww, was I wrong.
It is amazing, the emotional roller coaster ride we are on. You couldn't have extinguished our enthusiasm last week if you tried and although I am still thrilled with my results I cannot help but be a bit crushed over the thought of every week for months to come. So now we all have some idea and you know what it may not be what I had planned at 37 but "Bring it On." I'm in for as long as it takes.
