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.

Cancer is nature's way of teaching me anatomy

We heard the results of the myriad of tests I've had over the past month. The big news was that there was only one tumour in my brain (unchanged). Apparently it is too soon to tell how it has reacted to the whole brain radiation I just finished. The next head CT is in September and we'll see about it then.

So what about the other tests?

Blood was good. Heart was good. Bones were fine. Hair is still missing, and the previous nodules at the collar bone were undetectable (Yeah!). But they couldn't just leave it there. There are five new lumps in my liver that most people don't have. One is 2cm, two are 1.5 cm and the rest I really didn't pay much attention to. So now tomorrow I get herceptin AND another slough of chemo drugs.

So those of you that were worried they'd have to find another blog to read for unexpected drama, can relax. It seems I'll be working on this hobby of mine for awhile yet.

Love
Carolin
