I gave in and decided to get the PET scan over with. I don't want to wait until I'm a stage 2 or 3 again. So I am going in friday morning. PET scans are very intense and take about 2 - 2 1/2 hours. I am having my sister-in-law, Sandra care for the kids while I'm gone.
I won't know anything until Monday the 6th when I meet with Dr. Browning at St. Mary's Cancer Center. I'm trying to stay positive, but I know something is wrong. My right hip continues to increasingly ache, my night sweats have started and my fatigue level is increasing once again.
Please God, don't let me have to go thru Chemo again!
The next chemo will be much worse, they call it salvage chemo, it will be MOPP chemo which is super, super bad. One of my online friends who has been thru MOPP chemo says it feels like a dose of DRANO & BATTERY ACID! UGH!
Anyway, I'm trying to keep my hopes up. I love my new job as town clerk and don't want to lose it. At least, if I have to do chemo again, I can probably still keep up with my job since I do it from home. I just worry about being able to watch the kiddos. It was almost impossible last time, Mark & my family had to help alot.
Please help me pray that all will go well & I will receive good news on monday. Thank you to all my friends & family for supporting me, praying for me and helping me through all of these hardships. Love, Mallory
