| Categories: Treatment

Things seem pretty grim right now. This cancer has spread so quickly and in just 3 weeks time, multiple lesions have grown throughout my body. This is not good. However, the good news is, some of those lesions are so small they are barely detectable, meaning we have caught this really early. Having a couple…

Which is something I have had a very difficult time doing since I have been on those “Amazing Narcotic Pain Meds!” and a 24 hour protein only diet which didn’t help much! So lets start there…. Shit #1 A PET/CT scan takes pictures of your body in slices…much like a slinky, puts them together and…

| Categories: Treatment

Monday March 24th crept up quickly. Lots of anxiety and sleepless nights and of course no damn rib pain! Isn’t that how it always works? Nothing happens when you actually need it to.
