Steady....Steady
I'm sorry for not posting as often as I had in the past. I really enjoy writing this blog and I've felt it has been very therapeutic for me during this battle. The problem I have had lately is that I feel my situation has kind of been on auto pilot. I don't feel as if I am heading in any particular direction. My main problems have been with my low platelets. I am told this is a very serious situation and I have to be very careful not to do anything that would cause bleeding. This is a life threatening condition. I am then told that I would have to suspend my treatment in order to get the platelet count up. When I suspend my treatment the result is my tumor marker continues to increase. I am then told not to worry because the increase is relatively small. This has been going on for a while now and I feel like nothing is really happening good or bad. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, I am just explaining. I feel as though everything is the same and there is nothing new to report. I also know this will not be the way it always is. I do have some appointments and a PET scan coming up this month. I'm sure this will cause the needle to move one way or another. I am still a believer that God has a plan for me and maybe this was his way of giving me a little rest before we go at it again. If that's the case, I'm ready to go. Keep Praying.
