Gamma Knife………Done!
I’m feeling pretty good since my gamma knife procedure. As long as it worked (and we won’t know for about 6 weeks), why can’t everything be as quick and easy as getting rid of this small cancerous brain tumor? This has been the easiest part of this whole ordeal, minus the huge scare at the beginning.
I have a PET scan tomorrow and should have my results Wednesday morning at my Oncologist office. This will be a body scan to re-stage my lung cancer. I’m seriously hoping for clear scans because I am going back to work on December 1st. I have to - my family is going to starve if I don’t! That’s the part of this that sucks big time - worrying about money and survival and holidays and kids and making sure everyone is happy - or as happy as they can be!
I’m so tired of being tired and worn out feeling! I just want to feel normal again and being scared of little things showing up here and there is wearing me out. I am very fortunate that my brain met showed up so quickly and made itself well known so that we could get it taken care of but I am nervous that this will the be the life I face from now on. So I know I must keep my positive attitude and God in my heart because even when I was scared of my surgery last week, I had the most peaceful feeling all the while knowing that I was being taken care of that day.
So here’s to clear scans and healthy cells and things going well tomorrow! I need it too!

Great to hear from you; and you sound so up!!
Very relieved to hear how easily the Gamma Knife procedure went. I was thinking about you all week. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the Pet scan. And for you to continue to feel stronger as the deadline for going back to work approaches.
Let us know what the oncologist has to say…

Oh yay! I’ve been thinking about you all weekend since I was away from my computer and couldn’t check up. I’m so glad it was so easy! That’s awesome. Gamma Knife must be incredible for brain surgery to be the easiest part so far. The strides the medical establishment has made!
Hang in there. You hear that Universe? Clear scans, please.
