Why celebrate going to work........?
On 1 December, I returned to work and I cannot begin to explain how good it felt. The school holidays actually begin on 23 December, then I will have a long break again until late January.
I had a blood test today 21 December, and discussed my progress with my doctor. I am doing very well, but need to watch my iron levels and some side-effects.
Why did it feel so good to go back to work....?
Because I could!
Because I wasn't on my way to hospital!
Because I wasn't having chemotherapy!
Because I wasn't lying in bed feeling sick with side-effects!
Because I was driving to work in the "Leap of Faith"!
Because I got to sit in my office again and at one stage I didnt know if that was a possibility!!!
Because I felt connected when I got there!
Because I feel healthy and great to be alive!
What happens next year?
On 24 January I have my next CT scan.
I go to work for the 2012 start to the school year!
On 31 January I see the Doctor to check the results- is the cancer still stabilised or have the tumors grown since chemotherapy ended in November? The answer to this question will determine the next step in treatment. It is possible that treatment will remain on hold if the tumours remain stable.If so, I will continue to be monitored via regular CT scans.It is possible that the cancer has been active and that my team of doctors will then need to meet in February to discuss my next treatment regime. We shall wait and see!
In the meantime, we will have a wonderful holiday season!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all at Team Georgia
Love Your Life
