I went to Tucson with a lot on my mind. My chemo was postponed with the chance it could mean the treatment backfired due to falling counts. My grandaughter was scheduled to have heart surgery this week when she turned 4 months. My dearest friend died thursday evening and I felt torn, not being in Seattle to be with his partner.
Tuesday, when Sara took Audrey to the Pediatric Heart Speacialist and they were performing tests, the doctor was wide eyed and said their was still evidence of Pulmonary Stenosis, but instead of progressing as expected it was reversing. I know the intentions put in place by myself, Steve and Gary set healing in motion.
I went to the Oncologist this morning. He asked what I had been doing since the past visit. I told him about the trip to Tucson. He thought it might be STTP but didn't advise using internally. My hematocrit had risen from 28 to 40 and the white count from 790 to 4,000. He told to come up with a plan for the next 25 years because this was evidence the treatment is working. It was potent and not always comfortable, but it is enough to cause the luekemia to go into remission, the tumors have shrunk and the bone cancer markers have gone down.
No more playing the sympathy card. It's time to plan a future and perhaps go on a diet or take posing lessons for the camera.
Togglary and Gadgetswitches, I love you more than ever.
Love cures people...the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
