So often we say no news is good news, but in the case of sickness it’s the waiting around that is the killer.
- What’s wrong with me? - Is it bad? - Is it ok now but getting worse while waiting? - Can I do something to help? - Am I doing something that’s making it worse?
Through the many years of sitting in pain and silence, I’ve adopted an attitude of “what can I do?” that helps me move forward.
It’s not just a “let’s pretend to positive and see rainbows in the darkness” naïveté, but there’s definitely a fine line between that and “ok, we’ve got this”. Anyway, here we are again, not out of the storm but just powering through it toward the light. Thank God I’m not doing this alone.
I know a lot of you are caring, worrying and wondering so I wanted to update you. Here’s where we’re at : - the results of both the fluid and tissue biopsy have come back showing NO CANCER! Which again is WTF CRAZY MIRACLE THANK GOD terrain!!! The fact that I could be completely healed is terrifying and terrific, at the same time. - We have another CT Lung biopsy scheduled for 31 March which will look further into why my lung filled with fluid and search even closer for any signs of cancer. Due to my history with the C word, they’re not gonna rule it out quickly. - I also have an MRI brain scan on 2nd April to see if my palsy (losing muscle control on half of my face) is related to the cancer affecting my nerves. - Currently though, I seem to be making baby steps in progress of regain movement. One thing I’m doing lots of is chewing gum on that side of the face (suggestion from awesome mum-in-law) which is using my muscles more, and also facial massages (from an incredible wife) to try and stimulate the muscles and tissue. It seems to be working.
So things are looking up, and I’m choosing to not look down unless I really have to.
Also, the baby’s coming!!!!! aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
