I just got off the phone with the radiation oncologist. Wednesday I will start the mapping process, which is an extensive CT scan. They’ll have me doing breathing exercises and movement testing so they can map my breathing and body movement during radiation to help protect everything around the treatment […]

They told me there are lesions on my spine. They want me to start steroids right away, and I should be hearing from the radiation oncologist to immediately start the mapping and radiation process. That’s honestly all I really know right now until I speak with them more. Most likely […]

May 11 @ 12 PM Update: Just got home from my PET scan and my oncologist called me immediately after reviewing it because they found a large spot on my spine and wanted an emergency MRI done right away. The fact that she called so quickly definitely scared me. The […]

Back in January 2024, I shattered and partially severed my thumb. Thankfully, doctors were able to reattach it, and I’ve been working hard on healing ever since. But yesterday, May 29, I went to Loma Linda urgent care because it had been swollen, hot, and painful for a couple of […]

Additionally, my PET scan shows significant growth […]
