My Liver Cancer Grew
It’s always something with the cancer
I was really happy the other day because my brain cancer was so much better. But recently I had a CT scan of my liver and lungs, and the cancer in my liver has grown substantially. There are also three new spots in my lungs.
In a little over a week I meet with the oncologist who manages my lung and liver cancers. I saw my brain oncologist today, and she told me the MRI of my brain looks really good. One of my tumors is basically gone, the other two have shrunk.
In the grand scheme of things, I’d rather have my brain doing well but the stuff in my liver does bother me.
It seems there is always something new and horrible going on these days.
I am trying however to stay positive.
One thing that helps me is my faith in God. I know not everyone shares this, but my faith comforts me.
I am a Christian, but have friends who are Muslim, Hindu, Jewish… they are also praying for me. And I have friends who are atheists who are offering up good thoughts. I believe in this. Even if it is just a fantasy, it helps me to stay positive and upbeat, and I think that is really important right now.
I do believe that God loves me and is a God of compassion. Whatever the future holds, I trust…
