Hair Cut Therapy
Yesterday, after getting the great news about the scan I really wanted to do something for myself. A nice cruise in the Caribbean came to mind but I settled on a cheaper form of therapy.
A New Hair Do!
I am going to a Day Spa Salon on Friday and seeing an amazing hair designer.
(Thanks Sarah for sharing Bryan)
I will post my new photo here soon.

Hello All ... I feel like dancing!
The CT- scan showed NO disease or anomalies. The oncologist is almost sure that my digestive/bowel problems are a result of "delayed radiation injury". To be sure, the doctor is sending me to see a "gastroenterologist" and is referring me back to the radiation department for "after care".
I did not know you could have a delayed reaction to radiation. The doctor told us that it can occur anytime even years after treatment.
So that is it!!!! One Year Clean and Clear!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for all your thoughtful emails, support and prayers.

Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.
(I'm trying)
It has been 2 weeks since I had my Ct-scan. I am to find out the results on Tuesday, just 4 more days.
Waiting is so hard!!!! I am not feeling well and I need to resolve this.
I am struggling with my digestive system. Last Friday I was having a particularly tough day so went to see my GP... I won't get into it here now, because it would turn ugly (a rant) but the short version is he would not examine me or explore the problem. His words, "you are under the care of an oncologist for a primary condition, wait for the results of CT-scan". He wrote a prescription for an antacid!!! (I tossed it!)
On Tuesday, when I get the news that I am free of disease they will ask me to take my digestive complaint to my regular doctor.
