Cancer Update. I asked my oncologist today when we met to describe my situation. She said, 'Unfortunately, you are a stage four cancer patient... but fortunate.' She further explained, your cancer learned how to send out seeds and so far we've seen seeds growing into tumors in your liver and more recently your lung. But your scan of two weeks ago is clean, and it has been a year since your chemo and liver section. So, for now, we need to watch you carefully and frequently to see if any other seeds decide to grow, pretty intensively for the next 3 years or so. We'll do CT scans every 4 months for now, to see if anything grows. We'll do another colonoscopy asap, she does not want to wait. Within the next several weeks I expect. She emailed the specialist and we need to schedule something. But she said, 'this is really your first 'well baby' visit, we call it. We need to look at diet and exercise now. You walk quite a bit so I think you are ok with exercise. I want to you to take three things daily, pills: children's aspirin, fish oil, and calcium with vitamin D. My next consult, ct scan with blood work is end of May. Must make every day count... for my most desperate family... in Palestine.
