Well here we are again!
Journal entry by Cheryl MatthynssensI had hoped my days of needing to have an outlet and to write here were over. My Oncologist told me today that it will never be "over". He had hoped that I would have more time cancer free then four months, but it just wasn't to be. My cancer is anchored throughout my body. It does not appear it will go into remission. The best hope I have now is to continue to play whack-a-mole with it.
Somewhat expecting this, my oncologist had been monitoring me closely so that the moment it reared its ugly head, we would attack it. Right now, the tumors are small and they are in my lungs. One lung has a fair sized nodule of about 1/2 inch and the other one looks like a piece of moss, weaving in and out air passages or the blood veins. I couldn't tell which. Because it is in both lungs, it is considered inoperable. Now that it has shown up in multiple organs, it is unlikely I will achieve remission.
