All clear

All clear. *exhale* Check.  Bone scan and CT of pelvis, abdomen and chest show no signs of metastases.

Dr. Nixon, who is filling in for Dr. Stewart told mom and I the results this morning. Repeat the scans in 4 months.  We will have another appointment Sep 11, when we can look "high level"at the brain MRI booked for August 28. I also have an appointment Sep 20 with Dr. Voroney, when a more detailed review of the MRI will be shared.  In the interim, I will have a bone density test and possibly see an orthopedic specialist - there may be some bone thinning in one of my hips - to see if any further action is needed.

Since my last post, the muscle issues and related pain has gotten under control mostly, with a combination of medication, physio and massage.  Unfortunately, last Canada Day weekend some stomach issues settled in, and by the holiday Monday I was in the emergency room as I was too weak from the three days of diarrhea.  IV fluids, tests and 6 hours later I was able to leave and by Friday I was feeling a bit better and saw some friends.  Even managed to do a locked/escape room (on my list of fun things to do!) with Tasha and her family - getting out with 30 seconds left!

So the past two weekends have been one thing or another - but at least the waiting weeks are done and I feel better now.  Fingers crossed, for the next 2 weekends, I'll be heading to BC and then Saskatchewan to visit friends and family.  Normal summer stuff.  Normal is such an underrated word. Boring and uneventful also have that reputation - but I'd take all three forever ;)

Thanks again for all the thoughts, prayers and good energy - certainly helped me in the past few weeks. And as Stampede is in full swing - Yahoo!
