I didn't get that good of news today at the cancer center, but it was not entirely unexpected. The cancer in my liver has grown and nearby lymph nodes are swollen, plus I probably have two small spots of cancer, one in each lung now. I go in for chemo on Wednesday of next week, so I'll be there all day and come home with the pump hooked into my chest for 2 days like I used to do.
I did ask flat out if I am circling the drain and the nurse practitioner said no. I asked about if she thought I'd be alive next year to go back to Denmark and she looked down at her feet and said, "I don't know." I didn't ask so much to find out but to see if she'd be open about it, and she was. I already say I never know if my last trip was my last trip or not. In my condition, making plans even 6 months out seems like a bad idea. I just have to wait until the end of the year and see how things are going before I can decide if I should make plans and get my tickets or not.
