If you’ve been following my recent blog posts, you may have noticed that I’ve been having some worrisome aches and pains for quite awhile. My oncologist finally ordered me a bone scan last Friday, and if you follow my Twitter or Instagram you will already be aware of the results…
I DON’T GOTS NO CANCER IN MY BONES! Yiiiiiipppeeeeeeeee (sorry, I am not feeling very eloquent today, I’m tired).
My mind once again went to some very dark places while waiting to learn my fate. Unless you’ve ever had cancer, and had to undergo multiple tests to find out if your cancer has become terminal, you will never understand what it feels like to be in that unfathomable situation. And I hope you never have to understand. I’ve had major sob-fests merely over the realization that I will carry that anxiety with me, in some form, for the rest of my life. This cancer crap sure ain’t easy.
So now I breathe a sigh of relief, let the heavy weight release itself from my chest, and get on with life until the next thing crops up and I have to wonder: Is it cancer?
And since I believe all good cancer-related news must be celebrated in some form, I did just that: by ordering sushi with my sister, watching terrible reality TV, and taking a series of ugly photobooth photos that made me laugh so hard my ribs hurt.
But at least I know the rib pain was laughing-related and not cancer-related. I do know that. At least for today.
Glad to hear about the good news! Keep going forward and be strong. .
Cute! Although a few of those pictures are going to give me nightmares… well, mostly just that seventh one…
Such wonderful news. And photobootjing is a brilliant idea for good times. Yipppeee! (And whew.) ~Catherine
YAY!! I love hearing good news from you! and yes… the waiting is liking sinking into the depths of hell and when you come back up for air when the news is good, it takes a while to get balance, it’s exhausting. However, after years of the same routine, you get less anxious and recover from the strain more quickly… May you have many years of good news! XXXOOO
Your hair looks awesome
