Well, I
saw both my med-onc and my rad-onc this week. There is a small change in
plans. I didn't think we were going to do a CT scan until after this was
all done. Dr. Chong told me this past Friday that while he plans to
proceed with the second phase of radiation, he wants to do a CT scan this week,
just to see what's going on inside of this crazy body of mine.
This is a double-edged sward for me. It's good that I get another week (maybe a bit more) of rest and will (hopefully) continue to get better. It also means that I'm now fighting off scanxiety.
*sigh*
So, I'm trying to focus on (and not panic about) the fact that I return to work tomorrow. It's part-time, and mostly from home, but still....I'm just hoping that I do okay. I don't know why I'm nervous - Levi thinks I'm crazy. He keeps reminding me that I've been doing this job for over 5 years. It's just hard thinking about returning to work, after being through so much. I'm trying to just remember to take care of me, and to not overdo it.
But, I desperately need to get back to doing something that has nothing whatsoever with cancer. So, it's with excitement and anxiety and fear and hope that I go back tomorrow.
I will say that I am feeling better and better. My body seems to be better handling a wider variety of foods (yeah!), and I'm feeling stronger and more aware each day.
Here's to a week filled with hope, good (amazing?) scans, and a fabulously easy and fun week back at work!
