After lots of prayer, talking with Tyler, and the doctors I have come to the decision not to do radiation. Which means that my treatment for the cancer will be done on April 8th! I am so excited! After talking with the radiation oncologist yesterday we decided that the possible long term side effects do not out weigh the benefits of the radiation. The doctor said that my case is a “very grey area” because of multiple factors and that she still wants to present my case to the tumor board at the hospital and get the input of the other oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and basically all the other cancer doctors but that as of now her opinion is to not do radiation based on many different factors. Which Tyler and I completely agree with.
So once my chemo treatments are over it will take about a month for the chemicals to be flushed from my body, then I will have surgery to remove my problematic port. I am excited to have it removed because it has caused more problems than anything else throughout my treatment.
My oncologist said that I should be able to return to work at the beginning of June! It is so nice to know that life will be able to return to normal soon! With the exception of scans, blood tests, and exams every 3 months for the first year.
