Scan-Crazy

I'm taking it as a good sign that both of my oncologists and my neurosurgeon moved my MRI from 11/21 to tomorrow. I think Dr. Lavery wants the images asap so he can decide about doing another surgery, and perhaps the scan will show that the inflammation is reduced enough that I can stop taking the Decadron . However it means yet another appointment in a week when I''m starting to feel what I think is post-radiation fatigue. Thursday I have the PET scan and Friday the appointment with Dr. Liu to go over the scan results. I'd prefer to just nap all day for a few days, but in a way, it feels good to be doing something every day to try to get back my arm and to heal enough to get off the damn dreaded Decadron, and push being a person with cancer into the background again. I hate having it so much in the foreground. FYI, I'm dutifully doing my exercises twice a day, like the model patient I've always been. ;-) And I nominate Kevin for sainthood. He makes my life possible these days.
