Doing the Chemo Dance Again

It's a slow dance, that is rarely seen by the general public. For those of us who have entered into the secret underground world of Cancer, we know this Dance too well. It starts with a Port being inserted into the Upper Chest, then we go to a clinic and sit anywheres from 2 1/2 to 4 hours a day and have a recipe of Drugs pumped into our bodies, with the hope of the ending being a good result. No Cancer!!, but this is not the case all the time, especially when the cancer decides to metastasize and travel through the body to other areas. Breast Cancer is the most heard about and publicized of the Cancers, heck there is even Races and Walks for Breast Cancer. Don't start labeling me as a Breast Cancer hater, since I have an older sister who went through the Breast Cancer Ordeal 10 plus years ago and is still around to talk about it, when she talks about it, which is not that often.
I have been diagnosised with Rectal Cancer, even though the Surgeon told me that it is technically called Colo-rectal Cancer, but I like to be more specific and let people know that I have been diagnosised with Rectal Cancer, this way they have a better idea of the location and not some vague descriptor of it.
The Chemotherapist debated and even disagreed with the findings of the Report on the most recent Pet Scan that was done last week, the "Official" report notes that the nodals in my Lungs have increased in size to 2.5cm-4cm, up from 1cm-2cm, but when the Doc viewed the scans he comparatively measured the Nodals and he comes up with the size being 1cm, which he says is a good thing that the nodals have not grown. He also noted that there are no new lesions in my lungs, which is another good piece of news.
I'm awaiting the call from the Chemotherapy Nurse to see when they want me to start again and I will make sure that it is scheduled for Thursday or Fridays, since these are my days off and the treatment is only for 2 1/2 hours once a week, which is what I really enjoy. I also see the Oncology Radiologist in a few weeks, so I'll be happy to see what he says about the PET Scan results also.
I'm anxious about starting treatment again, but like I've read ion other blogs online, you have to be grateful for the little advances and not ungrateful for the lost battles. For every piece of good news,is a blessing in itself and being thankful for these small pieces of good news is something to be cherished. So it looks like the Chemo Dance is going. Then in 2 months I'll have another PET Scan done again, then we'll see what happens.
In the mean time life goes on, with working my 10-hour days for 4 days, then getting 3 days off. I will be looking forward to the 2 days off that I'm not getting Chemo and being able to relax and not worry about the treatment.
