I have a PET/CT scan scheduled for Dec. 17th, and a meeting with my interventional radiologist on Dec. 24th. This is the year’s check up on the cryoablation that he did a year ago on the tumor in my right lung.
I am interested not only in what has happened to that tumor, but also in what is happening with the “marble” under my right arm and the tumor in my left lung. Both of them were called “stable” in my last scan in August. But the small tumor under my arm was supposedly surgically removed in June, so the fact that it was the same size in August as it had been in February concerns me. I can feel it right under my skin and it feels like a marble that moves around. Maybe it can also be ablated?
I have just added a new professional to my treatment team — Lise Alschuler, ND. I had my first appointment with her last Friday and was surprised by one of her questions. She asked if my purpose in working with her was (1) to maintain a body that isn’t conducive to the growth of cancer, or (2) to aggressively “treat” my existing cancer with natural methods. I knew I wanted to do (1), but didn’t know (2) was possible. I am interested in both, but will wait till after my scan this month to move forward with (2).
I feel fortunate to know my cancer has always been slow growing, so I don’t feel like any treatment decisions are emergencies. I’m looking forward to learning and trying some new treatment strategies. Stay tuned.
OH Jan, so glad to hear from you and your resilient thinking.
Thank you for keeping us posted.
Sending love, and waving!

I am excited that you have such a provocative new caregiver on your team. I hope she is a valuable resource to you. As to those pesky tumors, if I could declare them GONE, I sure would. I will be thinking about you.
Hi Jan glad you are doing so well. My last petscan was clean and I too will be doing a new petscan on the 30th of December. I will interested in hearing about your new treatment person and what her background is. Good to get your blogs. Blessings Dottie
Hi and hope you had a good birthday full of love.
Glad you are working with Lise. She is very grounded. Useful question!
I am full of joy and gratitude, having just returned from the Big Island where I officiated at a double same gender wedding. Four beautiful brides and 61 years between them!
I send you healing and happiness.
