However, recently I've had two vascular strokes so am going to acquire another specialist for this (honestly have no idea how many I have now).
One of the strokes left a lot of pain in my right foot on the bottom. I've been doing physical therapy for it, so it's getting better. I once thought this lung cancer would be the only thing to take me out. Now I'm having other issues, like strokes, so maybe it won't be lung cancer.
I went for my most recent petscan earlier this month. I have 2 lymph nodes that lit up, my cervix lit up as did one of my ovaries. So, since I have had cervical cancer before, I'm going to return to my OB-GYN and probably another new specialist. If it is in fact cancer, I'm pushing for a full hysterectomy. This would not be metastasis from the lung. It would be a separate cancer altogether.
As far as my lymph nodes, we are watching those since they are near the area I had radiation over the summer.
So, that's my plan. Waiting. It's always fun to play this waiting game (insert sarcasm here). I will see my OB-GYN after the 1st of the year and will keep you guys updated.
I'm not worried. I know all of this is beyond my control and I am still happy with the petscan outcome. I'm blessed to have surpassed 7 years on 11/27 when I was originally thought to live 12-18 months.
I'm so thankful for your continuous prayers and I'm so excited I got to celebrate my 40th birthday with my sister and favorite friends. I never thought I would make it to 40. I know I'm blessed. I'm praising God for my life.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas. Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season. Pic Overload Ahead.....
