We're Fighting Back!

I got my test/scan results today. Bad news? I have 2 new tumors. One in my small bowel, and another in my tibia. The good news? Everything in my brain shrunk! I mean everything! This is the best news we could have gotten. Good enough that we are about to notify Hospice that we are getting off their care. (I have to get off hospice care to be taken back to active treatment by my oncologist).

So my new treatment plan is this (as of right now) they are planning on radiation for my tummy and my left leg. After that I have no idea. I don't meet with my doctor until the 19th, lucky duck is on vacation. We are likely to hear from radiation soon and get a treatment plan set up for them.

Im excited at the good news. It means Im back to not having to count days/weeks to live. It gives me even more time. I explain it to myself as 'a few steps forward, and a couple steps back'. It stinks. Being told you're dying to have them turn around in 3 months and tell you that your body is healing, and we now have more options is hard to process for me.

Im having a hard time wrapping my head around this good news. Ive been spending a long time becoming at peace with everything going on. Im now having a hard time believing it, and getting excited.  Ill get there. It will just take me some time, and when I hear what the doctor says will help too. No matter what happens, we always said we are Fighting to the end.
