Bittersweet:More of the same news

Just a quick update on my cancer. I still have it, and I'm still fighting. I have my up and down days, and the day's I choose not to even think about my disease. Those are the good days, me feeling almost "normal" (at least in my head!)

The bad news is that, cancer has invaded more of my bones, to include my total spine, long bones, short bones, all of them. Also, my liver is so diseased now, that my Oncologist is making that his priority. I"m not jaundice, but odds are that might be the case soon.

The good news is that, my lungs are totally disease free. No metabolic activity what's so ever! The many lymph nodes through out the body, that once were growing out of control, and completely gone as well. But the best news of the year, is that I'm no longer in need of oxygen. I can walk around and my oxygen saturation level stay in the mid 90's! Compared to late November, or even December, this is huge!

I'm still sore, and need to take lots of pain meds, but I'm making the best of each day. I choose to be happy, and durn it, cancer isn't going to take that away!
