2nd Treatment of Y90

The second treatment of Y90 was just as bad as the first.  I did this treatment on February 6th.  Took about a week to recover and then some on again off again stuff that popped up every now and again.  The next step is to have a scan on March 2nd along with a doctors follow up to see if it did any good or not.  The preliminary results seemed promising but I have been down that path before and the CT scan did not confirm the same results.  So I have learned my lesson that the only results I will trust are from a CT.

On another note, I had a member of my ward family pass away today from cancer.  She was diagnosed with lung cancer after my diagnosis and was doing good until this last December.  She started some new treatments that they were hopeful would help but found out in January that it was progressing much more rapidly and she was put on hospice  She was a great lady who gave a lot of love and will be sorely missed.  Prayers go up to her family for some peace and comfort. 

This hits home a little bit for me.  I have been on this journey for over 2 years now and we have just as much hope now as when I was diagnosed that we can beat it.  Cancer is a real and scary disease that can and has taken many lives.  I don't know what the future holds but we are living in the now and enjoy what we have.
