Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

I can give up my hospital parking pass

The doctor says that the last body scan showed significant reductions in the liver tumours, recovery from the lung damage that the chemo had caused, and no new surprises. The neck bones are regenerating (but won't make it back to 100%) and the fancy brain radiation/surgery MUST have worked. They'll check to see how that tumour is shrinking (see? positive thinking!) on April 5.

The summary? No chemo until another tumour shows up (hopefully never)! I only have the every-3-week herceptin intravenous, and a couple of daily pills to eliminate estrogen. Pretty easy, I'd say!!

So it's all good news. You might as well say the cancer's gone and all the rest of this stuff is to make it hard for the stuff to come back. Now what to do with the free time.....
