The Path Less Traveled…

The road less traveled is always overgrown with brush and bramble. Obstacles and danger may hinder ones ability to reach their final destination. There are bright beautiful peaks and dark hidden valleys. At some points you are so low you wonder if the Sun will ever shine upon your face again, desperately seeking its warmth and comfort. At other times you feel like you have reached the summit of the highest mountain, a view so spectacular that everything seems to ...

 be within reach, at your bidding, you can accomplish anything and everything. With each of those extremes comes education and perspective. The perspective to know that everything in life has it’s valleys, but if you keep trudging forward you will eventually make it back into that beautiful light.

The cancer in my lungs has activated, causing my feet to slip every so closely to the edge of the cliff. Threatening with all their might to throw me off balance, off of this peak, over the cliff and into the darkness deep below.  However, I have not fallen off of my peak into the depths just yet. My mental reserve is steadfast, my body is strong and I have an army with weapons at my disposal. FOLFIRI Avastin for a few months will keep these terrors at bay, and I will as always, keep trudging forward. The path to my goal may be longer than expected, but what an adventure it will be.

All My Love – Teej

Health: My CEA blood test yesterday rose from 2.5 to 4.8. That was pretty indicative that there was some Cancer activity in my body but, not much. So, going into today’s appointment I was not caught off guard. The CT scan showed the minuscule metastases in my lungs (2, 2-3 mm) have activated but not very significantly. This means I start FOLFIRI Avastin Chemotherapy again starting this coming tuesday to keep those little bastards at bay. There was no significant growth, increase or spread of the disease in my body which is great news, it’s just routine maintenance.  So back to the battlefield I go.
