I'm Definitely Not On Vacation Anymore

I wanted to blog a whole lot more this week than what I did. But I was so busy with getting back to the "normal" schedule, I was not able to spare one moment to blog. It was tragic!

This last week I somehow decided that it was a great week to schedule the dentist and doctor appointments. I was, afterall, refreshed from my vacation week. It seemed like a good week to get those ever-so-important appointments done. Wow! I was wrong. It turned out to be an even more crazy week to have all those things crammed into our already hectic schedule. But then, when is it ever a good week to see the doctors? Of course, my opinion is slightly skewed and I'm sure everyone knows my answer to that.

But, since I'm on the subject, I will tell everyone about my appointment with my oncologist. I had my 3 month MRI and it's actually better news than last time. There was no new growth in my tumor, which is really great news. But, she did tell me that I will never have a normal MRI again. I will always have a damaged spinal cord and there will never be "improvement". But as long as my tumor seems stable, we can go a little longer with monitoring it. So now, I don't have to have another MRI for 6 months. I'm happy with that. Even though I still have effects from the damage that the radiation and the tumor have done to me, I feel good that for now it's stablized. It's definitely something to be positive about. And if I don't have to deal with the doctors for another 6 months, I will be ecstatic for sure! :)
