The good and the bad...

So I went to a radiation consultation today. Good thing, I am not getting radiation at this time; the bad thing, we learned I am high risk form my cancer coming back. Lymphoma that goes into the bone is high risk for returning and if the lymphoma is considered bone primary (the lymphoma developed in the bone first) it is even more high risk. They don’t know if I have bone primary lymphoma. We have decided to closely monitor, meaning PET scans every 3 months for a long time, and see what happens. If it does come back, we will catch it early and treat it with radiation.  

What does this all mean to me? Well, it means I am on the right track with my diet. The diet have been transitioning into is believed to have even cured some lymphoma patients. It isn’t a matter of vanity but truly a matter of my life. I am going to help myself live and be healthy, and this is the best way to do that. I had decided this before, but after my last chemo I plan to transition this blog from my cancer experience to my health and diet. I will still talk about some of the few cancer things that I will still deal with, but my focus in my life will be my health and stress management so that will be what my blog will reflect.

This week has been great. I feel wonderful. I am still easily fatigued, but I am going through chemo! I did a lot yesterday and I am tired for it today. It has been so nice to spend time with friends and enjoy some of the nicer weather we have been having! Alan and I spent the day at Lincoln Park and took Loki to the dog park on Monday. The dog park didn’t last long though, Loki just wasn’t into it. It was nice to just hang out in the sun by the water. I got a pedicure and had lunch with my dear friend Jessica. It always a good time with her! I went to a creativity workshop and drinks afterwards with Stacey. I walked around the mall with a new friend, Jesse, who is so amazing and has some damn cute kids!!! My mom and I spent the night with my mother-in-law for some quilting fun.  I went to Whole Foods for the first time and made tons of yummy and organic food! See… what a great week!

I think I will take a nap, get on my elliptical walker for a while, and go watch a movie with my mom. Hope everyone has a great Easter weekend! I promise to blog one more time before what will be my last chemo!!! So excited!
