I have been feeling low since last week but I try to tell myself this is not the end of the world, so move on, move on !
Not a break ever since I had the huge surgery last August. Since then I have had several surgeries to clear margins and 2 rounds of radiation as seen in my signature. I try to live a normal life and going to intense treatment has been such a routine for me that I consider not going to treatment abnormal. Anyways I planned a vacation to Alaska that's coming in 2 weeks and a cruise to Alaska is on my bucket list. This was planned whist I was getting radiation in February and one week off treatment seems ok. I also planned a 3 week trip to visit my family in China with my 8 yr old daughter who hasn't seen my family for almost 5 years after I got sick. She wants to see the baby pandas there. Tickets were bought but I was smart enough to add a travel insurance just in case. I still want to go, I do even its gonna be awfully hot and humid there in July.
Anyways as I'm almost healed from the 2nd round of radiation which ended last Wednesday, I noticed 3 new red rashes just right outside radiation port. My guts tell me they look suspicious. So I made an appointment to see my surgeon next Monday, my radiologist next Tuesday. I'm also getting a ct scan and brain MRI today. Tumor markers have all been within normal range so I'm hoping please do not give me more than I can handle.
Not sure what the plan will be. We will have a better idea once all the test results come out. I'm just so worn from non stop skin mets. I have heard they just keep popping up. They are definitely stubborn.
