My Cancer is back...AGAIN

3rd time's a charm??

Once again, my cancer has returned. For those keeping track, this is 3 times. My CT scan from Monday showed a mass in my chest about 5 inches lower than where they took the tumor in January. This tumor is already 2cm X 1cm, which seems to be growing fairly quick since it didn't show up at all on my March PET or January CT. I met with my radiation oncologist this afternoon (he got me in when he looked at my scan so I didn't have to wait until Monday).

I will call to make an appointment with my medical oncologist on Monday but as of right now, the plan is do not do surgery but to start with the chemo this summer. With a tumor, we can now track how well the chemo is working (a positive). I will know more specific details like when I start when I meet with my oncologist.

It's never easy to hear you have cancer once, and twice is a shock, this time, I guess I expected it. I knew another tumor would pop up eventually since it is in my blood stream but I guess I didn't think it would be this quick. Oh well, now I fight like hell once again and I think this is going to be the toughest fight so far.

So now we will freeze embies (if we get any) instead of transferring ;(

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
